‘IT’S NOT A DIET, IT’S A LIFESTYLE CHANGE’
Lorraine Lecky, 37, is from Hackney in London and is a Slimming World Consultant. I know now there is life beyond yo-yo dieting. Over the years I’d tried every diet going and I always ended up straight back at square one after just a few weeks, feeling like I’d never manage to lose weight. When I joined Slimming World, I realised it was something completely different – it wasn’t a diet, it was a lifestyle change. And the emotional support, ideas and inspiration I got at the group kept me motivated week after week.
I learnt a lot of lessons along the way. One reason my previous weight-loss attempts failed is that I had to give up all the delicious Jamaican food I’d grown up with – and I couldn’t live like that! With Slimming World’s Food Optimising plan, I learnt how to make easy changes to the way I cooked, so I could carry on enjoying all those Caribbean flavours.
These days, I fry saltfish fritters in low-calorie cooking spray and use an air fryer for my fried chicken. They’re just as tasty!
When I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) I felt really low. I needed a crutch to walk and I had debilitating knee pain. Then, as I became slimmer and more active, my mood lifted. While I’ll always have MS, my knees are now pain-free and I can walk without any support.
