[Guest blog: Ruth] Have you ever felt the dread of summer?*

*Weight loss results may vary. This is not a guarantee.

I am off to sunnier times in 10 days! I can’t believe how fast the time has flown. I am on plan now to get myself ready and prepare to have an amazing time.

Soooo… I walked into Primark and actually bought two bikinis that fit and for the first time in my life I thought: Ohh I look good!”

This is a HUGE thing for me! I always had to order online tops and bottoms that never matched and I hated the thought of going away! My holidays begin on the 20th of May and I WILL post a picture in Secret Slimmers of the target I set myself. It’s a big achievement for me if I do it and I know I can do it here on Secret Slimmers.

Do you ever just wish you can post a picture without being judged? Ask a question without thinking they must think I’m daft? Wish you just had support from people who understood how you felt! This group gives you all that and MORE!

Check out what one of our customers have to say…

I will be posting my picture in this group as everyone knows the feeling of wanting to achieve something like this!

I have purchased our amazing 100 Shakes for £100/€129 offer! This is a crazy good offer. I am still doing the 5:2 as you all know, however everyone needs and wants a boost before holidays, even if you are at your target. The shakes will give myself that boost that I need to be able to go way and enjoy the joys of holidays without worrying about my weight gain.

I will be walking up the beautiful cobbled streets of Ibiza town with my mum. I will be going into shops and trying on size 10 clothes and not worrying that there’s: “No point even going in there – they wont have my size.” I had my first experience with this last year when I set myself the challenge of getting a picture in a pair of shorts!

Have you ever felt the dread of the summer?

Guess what!? You DO have time to turn that dread into excitement!

Those shorts that were previously your enemy will become your best friend! And they become a trophy that will be more important to you than the Oscars are for an actor/actress. How do I know that those shorts can turn from your enemy to your friend? I know… because MINE did!!

I went to Marbella last May for my birthday and I felt AMAZING!!! My previous summer holidays would consist of the same excuse. The excuse that it was to hot to sunbathe and I preferred to sit in the air-conditioned room!

The reality was I could not face the world outside. For years, I let my family and friends play in the pool and have fun and I was so unhappy with myself that I felt that I could not join them. I missed out on so many memories because of feeling self-concious and the fact that I did not make the decision to do anything about it.

It’s not to late to make that change! This summer can be YOUR summer! YOUR time to step outside and experience the summer in a new light!!

Here’s a picture of myself in Marbella. I had NEVER taken a picture in a pair of shorts EVER before. I wanted to share the picture on the right also. The reason being I actually have a TAN, lol. I am glowing and love this picture from the end of my holiday! This picture shows a girl who is the happiest she has ever been.

That smile is a smile that is not forced! That smile is a smile that says: “I MADE IT!”

So are you ready to take on the shorts challenge? This photo from our Secret Slimmers group says a thousand words!

Until next week!
