My Journey
I wrote this poem about my own personal weightloss journey with The New You Plan. I hope you enjoy it!!
My Journey
I made the decision to take back my life
Needed to do it for me and to be the best mother and wife
I had let my weight get out of hand
Felt so unhappy that I had buried my head in the sand
I avoided cameras, hated looking at me
I was the biggest one in my family
At social occasions I put on an act
But behind the smile my emotions weren’t in tact
Why did I use food as such a crutch?
I knew I didn’t need to eat so much
But in the moment it helped me forget
But it fixed nothing only made me regret
My weight was the highest it had ever been
No matter how I tried to cover up it was plain to be seen
So Jan 2012 I decided enough was enough
Stumbled across TheNewYouPlan and looked it up
I had mixed emotions, as I had failed with other plans in the past
What if I couldn’t do this, what if I couldn’t last?
I decided I owed it to myself to give it a go
So I ordered my bundle and was ready to roll
I started my journey on 16th Jan
With hope in my heart and great support from the plan
All the yummy products really surprised me
Can we really have these things on a diet? How can it be?
The support on Secret Slimmers blew me away
It was great to share my journey with others every day
Week 1 passed so fast, 11lbs banished!!
Couldn’t believe it, all my doubts had vanished
I just knew this was the diet for me
With this plan I could get to the weight I longed to be
So I gave it my all, knew this was my time
I had my brothers wedding in August and wanted to shine
So August came and I weighed 6 stone less
I looked and felt great in my size small dress
It was an amazing day and I`m so proud of the pics
Thank god I finally took control of this
Now 6 months on I am maintaining with ease
I`ve totally changed from who I used to be
I`ve traded paranoia for content, sadness for joy
I`m healthier and I have more energy for my little girl & boy
New You has helped me turn my life around
If I hadn’t started this journey I`d hate to see what weight id be now!
Thank you New You!!
