Slimming World stories: "No need to tell the children this year I will be slim"

Liz says “for the first time in years I now know that I’m in control, no more excuses.” For many years Liz found herself making excuses like, it’s my genes, the menopause, I’m heavy boned etc. Now accepts it is what you eat, and drink. That you have a choice in what you eat and drink. After years of saying to her family “next year I will be slim” she found her children laughing and saying “you say that every year” this time it was going to be different.
