Melanie at St. Christophers Church

As a child & teenager I struggled with my weight, which affected my mental health, leading me to a cycle of eating my emotions & I gained more weight after I had my daughter. I've got health problems & the weight I was carrying was putting pressure on my joints. I was using a walking stick from the age of 21 because it was so painful. I joined Slimming World because I'd reached breaking point. I had joined several times before but this time was different, I was determined. I went on to lose 6st 7lbs. I became a Consultant because I wanted to help people who may be feeling the same way I was. Being overweight held me back in most aspects of my life, even though I didn't realize it, now I have my life back I want to help others do the same.
