Over the last year I have seen what it is like to be in someone else’s skin. I had always been thin until I was put on a treatment for a health condition, which made my weight balloon by over 15 kilos in just months. The extra weight left me feeling lethargic and generally unwell, each kilo impacting on my confidence and self esteem. It wasn’t helped by comments constantly being made about my weight gain or the polite silence. I kept hoping once the treatment stopped, I would go back to my old was genuinely interested in how I was feeling and took a great deal of time to explain the program and how it would work for me as an individual. This personalised and individualised approach is what made me decide to come and see her and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Since I have been on the program, I have lost most of the weight I had previously gained going from nearly 70 kilos to 57 kilos. I also feel leaner, probably attributed to losing more than 50cm off my body and my body fat percentage decreasing from 30 to less than 20. Since the weight loss I have so much more energy and my skin, which had always been a bit red and blotchy, cleared up. It was amazing the number of people who now commented on how well I looked – that my skin was glowing and my eyes were sparkling – even strangers.

Glow certainly helped me in re-gaining my confidence. The people at Glow are like true friends. They really care about you and want what is best for you. They are there when times are tough to make you feel better about yourself.
