Having worked with more local people than I count and litterlly thousands internationally I've learnt a thing about how we all think and feel about ourselves before we choose to seek help. Right now you are probably:

Upset that you've let your bad habits take over, Un-able to identify with the person in the mirror,

Getting dressed in the dark so you don't have to see yourself, Feeling un-sexy,

Feeling lost as to where to start as there's so much conflicting information available,

Hating yourself for eating junk - and then comforting yourself by eating junk,

Rarely going clothes shopping as you have to go to the "back of the rack" to find your size,

Un-comfortable and underconfident in social environments such as parties, pubs or even just standing at the school gates,

Feeling ashamed when you get out of breath climbing the stairs,

Masking your pain with humour and saying how you "don't care" or "are happy" when deep down you're not,

Sleeping poorly and finding daily energy a struggle.

If you relate to any of these then you have come to the right place.

Firstly - its important to realise that you are not alone. We all have these feelings at times and the only difference between you and the person you admire at work for having a "great figure" is that they took action and did something about it instead of sitting and complaining or feeling sorry for themsleves.

The great news is you can be an action taker too and in time become the person everyone admires for having a great body / having lost weight or for simply being an example to everyone else and to their family.

But don't just listen to me - see what some of my clients have to say about it.
