People who have never had a weight problem just don’t understand the effort involved in losing weight – and keeping it off. “Why don’t they just do it?” is a common refrain from slim people, including many in the medical profession.
At Healthier Weight we know that knowing what to do doesn’t mean that it is easy to do it. We see people who have been “struggling”, “battling” with their weight for many years. Lifelong habits cannot be broken overnight.
However, with practice, support and the right programme or surgical intervention it is possible to lose and maintain weight. Here are some real life stories from people who have lost weight either on our behavioural programme or through obesity surgery. Some stories are truly inspirational – see Jan’s blog in obesity surgery testimonials. If you are reading this and you are despairing about your weight, take heart.
