“Turning 30 was my wake-up call, I didn’t want to be a fat, single mum anymore!”

Single mum of two young children, Aescleah with a hectic home life and an even busier work life as an A&E nursing assistant, decided to ditch the full fat fizzy drinks, junk food and takeaways and turn to Bodyline for weight loss support.

When I had my first child, I didn’t even have time to lose the baby weight as I fell pregnant quickly with my second. When my youngest was born, I put off getting back into an active routine because I was constantly running around looking after the kids. Before I knew it, it was years later, and I was still carrying a lot of excess weight.

Dieting just hadn’t even crossed my mind – as a single mum of two, with a really demanding and stressful job with different shift patterns,  it was more about getting the right foods on their plates than taking care of what was on mine. Habits slipped and before I knew it, I was just eating fast food and ordering takeaways as a matter of convenience and the weight piled on.

A friend of mine had been going down to the local Bodyline Clinic and I had noticed her great results in only a matter of weeks. I asked her if I could join her one week and here, I am today!

I was a bit apprehensive at first as I hadn’t spoken to anyone about my weight for years and was worried that people would judge me on my size. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The nurses and clinical team at Openshaw were always so lovely and encouraging, and still remain the same today – it’s almost like just going in for a catch up with the girls now.

I’ve tried both Phentermine and Diethylpropion and I have never looked back. I’ve been taking the prescription medications for 10 months now and can’t even bear to think where I would be without them.

Joining Bodyline was honestly the best decision I have ever made. By cutting out all the snacks, rubbish food and unhealthy fizzy drinks, I’ve not only been able to lose all the weight, but I now feel a million times more energetic, full of life and can now easily keep up the pace with my kids. I don’t worry anymore about being an unhealthy mum or panic about my long-term wellbeing. Also, now I have worked on losing weight, I feel I have the confidence to find love again – another added bonus.

Thank you, team Bodyline,  especially the warm, welcoming and life-changing nurses at my clinic.
