A Glimpse into the Future


I am sure that there are times, when the going is particularly tough, that you wonder….

“Why on earth am I doing this??”

Having lost 18kgs in 3 months on the Slender Wonder Weight Loss Program, and having reached my goal weight, I would like to share my experiences and observations of the wonderful, life changing “side effects“ with you -  give you a glimpse into what could be your future … if you would just give yourself a chance.

There have been numerous other benefits besides the obvious 1’s of better health and looks.


Obvious benefits

1.      I feel healthier now than I have in probably over 20 years! I have more energy, I feel lighter, I am more flexible and supple, I can breathe easier, I am sleeping better (and apparently there are no more little snoresJ).

2.      It is SUCH a great feeling to be able to wear the really pretty tops & dresses that I always used to admire but could never even think of wearing as they were made to hug the figure. The way I used to look, I couldn’t have anything hugging my figure – just too many lumps & bumps … URRGGHHH! I used to look @ the skinny jeans, wishing that I could slip into a pair but that was just so far off the charts – I bought a size 34 the other day – I STILL can’t believe it!


The unexpected benefits


1.      Self confidence: As the fat melted away so my self confidence grew! Now I walk with my shoulders back and my head up. I FEEL like there is a little smile playing round the corners of my mouth and my eyes are sparkling! I BELIEVE in myself and feel I can look the world square in the eye. I am ready to try more, do more, BE MORE!


2.      Relationships:  WOW! I have been really been blessed in my life to have a 2nd chance @ Love & Happiness with a wonderful & very special man.


We met when I was 17 & had a brief relationship and then went our separate ways. However, the Universe had a plan for the 2 of us, and 3 years after my husband of 23years passed away, Tony & I re- connected while he was down in CT doing a talk. The 30 years fell away and 6 years later we are engaged and so happy together! I honestly didn’t think it could get any better – well, it HAS!


The look on his face every morning when I come downstairs – there are just no words – it’s like he falls in love with me all over again every day! I catch him just looking at me sometimes and when I ask why – he say “I’m just looking”. HEhehe! It’s not just because I am slim now, he says it’s the self confidence, the fun and spunky attitude, the light & easy manner that all go to make a sexy, desirable package!


3.      Business opportunities: I am a bookkeeper by trade and I help Tony with his corporate teambuilding. My strength has always been organisation, systems, back end support. I was never interested in presenting or being “the front edge of the wedge”. I preferred to stay out of the spotlight and in retrospect I know why – I WAS HIDING! Inside I was ashamed of the way I looked, my self esteem & self confidence were at an all time low and I felt safer in the background. 2 weeks ago Lifemasters had 2 bookings on the same day & I did my 1st solo teambuild, together with my son, who I am now mentoring! I had no hesitation in taking this on and we had a great workshop!


4.      I have 2 new bookkeeping clients and I find that I interact with people far more confidently. I also did my 1st Public motivational talk a month ago, something I would never even have considered 6 months ago! Wow! I am now living up to my full potential and I believe there is still more to be achieved. What is so awesome is that I am ready to embrace those opportunities with excitement & confidence!


5.      There is a saying “My how you’ve changed since I’ve changed”.  I have noticed over the past few weeks how I seem to get more smiles in the shops; people seem more “chatty” & friendlier – WHY??? Because I am happier, smilier, confident & more open.

How good it feels!!! Looking back, I am left wondering why it took me so long to do this … and it only took 3 months! 3 months of focus, determination, resilience & discipline – THAT’S ALL! In the grand scheme of things, 3 months is a blink of an eye.  I know that for some, the amount of weight that needs to be lost is greater & it will take a little longer – can it be done? ABSOLUTELY!!


I can assure you that every second of focus & determination is worth it – more than you can even imagine. There are no words to adequately describe how life changing this has been for me. Slender Wonder has given me my life back!
