My reality call hit me in the form of an uncle’s wedding in June this year. Although I’ve always struggled with my weight and tried every diet under the sun, I never let it hold me back. Well, perhaps I’d avoid talking to men and I did detest going shopping, but on the whole I’d join in with anything. But as this wedding, in Ireland, approached, I found myself wishing I could get out of going. My weight was at an all time high and I dreaded seeing the family in a frumpy dress that ‘would-do’ and posing for pictures with my skinny, beautiful cousins.

With my brother’s wedding looming in October, I decided I couldn’t face that feeling anymore. When I returned home from University in the summer my mum and I met Gareth in Peterborough and talked through the diet plan. Although I was very motivated and determined, walking away with a carrier bag containing a week’s supply of meals made me question my capability.

Surprisingly, it wasn’t as tough as I feared and in some ways it was easier to stick to than other diets I’ve tried – after all, food is my addiction so removing it completely meant there was no opportunity to justify cheating. Gareth was great for giving honest information as well as discussing other options available. In the first week, as warned, I faced a lot of tiredness, but once I pushed through that barrier I had all the energy in the world. I was able to work long shifts on my feet at the hospital and look after and play with my little nephew without any problems. I did find social situations tricky, especially as they involved a lot of summer barbeques, but I knew a cheeky sausage wasn’t worth it. There were many times when I considered quitting but I was determined not to, as I was losing so much, so fast and it was only for the short term.

In the 12 weeks I followed the diet I lost 3 stone 7lbs and took great pleasure in buying my first pair of size 14 jeans (having binned the size 20 pair) just a few weeks ago. My confidence has rocketed and I get complements from people all the time. At my brother’s wedding some of my family didn’t recognise me and I was able to have a great day knowing I looked as good as I felt.

I have since come off the Lipotrim diet but am working to continue to lose weight. Gareth is always at the end of the phone, or the other side of an email for support and advice and I’ve found my relationship with food has completely changed. I no longer crave to binge eat, but allow myself the odd treat without feeling guilty. The Lipotrim diet does require a huge amount of determination but the amazing and fast results make it so worth while.
