was born in 1983, and raised in Milford. I attended Rodborough School and went on from there to study Icatering at college. I have an older brother who is 4 years my senior and sister who is 7 years older than me. Sadly, I lost my mum when I was only 5 years old, to a heart and lung transplant that just didn’t take. She was very poorly when we were younger and because of these circum- stances I was raised by my grandparents. I had a great time living with them and was spoilt rotten!

My brother and sister lived with my dad. It was a strange situation really. They would come over in the evening for dinner and then go back to their house again afterwards. Either way I wanted for nothing and always felt I had everything I needed.

My earliest memories are of the late 80s and early 90s. My grandparents had a massive garden with a big fruit orchard in it. We would steal the fruit and my grandad would shout at us like Mr McGregor, chasing us out of his fruit cage! When I look back, all I can remember is rolling hills, sunshine, swinging in trees and having fun. I spent most of my childhood playing in the woods.

I always loved food and cooking from a very young age. Me and my Nan would spend most Saturdays making something. I can remember making cheese scones and big cakes and having great fun decorating them. I was an avid Brownie and Girl Guide and my first badges were always the baking ones. In fact, I even went on to work as a cake chef at Birtley house nursing home for a little while.

My grandparents loved me deeply and their way of taking care of me was to feed me. Food seemed to be the solution to any problem. If I was upset, they would feed me. If I was bored, they would feed me and so on. I always used to refer to my grandmother as a feeder. continued on page 14 Starting again, when my son . . 12 advertise your business both online @ www.cranleighmagazine.co.uk and on this page CRANLEIGH MAGAZINE

She would dish up huge portions of food and wouldn’t let me down from the table until I’d finished the lot. There were always puddings on the menu too. She loved cooking and loved feeding people and to be completely honest, I loved being fed!

I was always overweight and can remember weighing 8 stone when I was just 8 years old. However, it never held me back or caused me to feel unhappy, at least until the last couple of years. I had a really good group of friends and was always the life and soul of the party. People used to say that I was just like Dawn French because I was so funny and overweight.

Most of my weight went on in my late teens because I It was hard to move around and look after a house and children started earning my own money and could buy whatever I liked. I moved out of my grandparents’ house when I down, that kind of thing. Nowadays I’m quite happy to was 19 to live with my now husband and we didn’t really go off to a Burlesque night and I really enjoy it. know “how” to eat. A salad to us was just a couple of bits of lettuce and cucumber with potato salad and coleslaw, For me I had two ‘light bulb’ moments. The first one; I’ve we had no idea what was good. We would eat sausage got a daughter now who is 7 and a son who is 4.

I can remember struggling to walk up the stairs. When taking him to his cot, I got quite out of breath. Then From a very young age my dad used to call me his ‘little coming back down and as I sat on the sofa my daughter fat and funny’. I can remember asking him if I could do said to me “Mummy do a puzzle” and my first thought ballet with my sister. He replied “No, because you’d look was ‘if I go down on that floor, it will be really hard to get like the fairy from ‘Willo’ the Wisp’, you know the one back up.’ I remember looking at her and thinking ‘this that’s too fat to fly?” isn’t fair on you’. Annie has very mild cerebral palsy, it doesn’t really affect her much but she is a bit wobbly on So from a young age, I’d pretty much accepted that that her feet. She was due to start school and I thought ‘you was my natural body shape. I’d tell myself that that was deserve better than this, because kids are cruel, kids where my body was happy and I just had ‘big bones’. can be horrible about anything, and the last thing you need is an overweight mum at the school gates, I need My dad was 6’ 4” and my mum was 5’ 1” and tiny and to be there a bit more for you’. I used to say “I’ve got my mum’s height but my dad’s frame.”

But that was just an excuse I suppose. I discovered later in life that all our bones are about the same size! There’s no such thing as ‘big bones.’

My sense of humour was a defence mechanism 100%, it was a shield to hide behind I think, if I could make people laugh. I like to talk a lot and very quickly and I’d always be the one that got the jive in first about my weight, to make sure that nobody else did it.

I was essentially a happy person but I would hide behind my weight quite a lot. I wouldn’t go to certain social situations if I knew I’d have to get dressed up and have a nice dress. I can remember having to be convinced to go to a Burlesque night with three of my girlfriends and they were beautiful. The thought of getting dressed up into something like that mortified me. I did go in the end but I didn’t feel comfortable the whole time. I spent the whole time trying to put my coat on and pull my skirt At the zoo having fun with the Penguins failed to recognise me in a . continued. on. page 15 advertise your business both online @ www.cranleighmagazine.co.uk and on this page 15 CRANLEIGH MAGAZINE continued from page 14 just one sensible meal in the evening. Once again, I lost Another ‘light bulb’ moment was shortly after Annie’s 3rd 2 stone doing that diet but when I stopped and started birthday. My sister-in-law sent me photographs of the eating like a normal human being, I gained 3 stone. I party and it was quite a shock to me to recognise how knew I needed something that was going to fit in with my much weight I had gained. Having two children meant I family, so that I wasn’t cooking 20 different meals a day gained weight, but it was seeing the back of myself and and involved eating normal food. Anybody will tell you thinking ‘I don’t actually know who that person is’, and that I’m not a ‘non-eater’, I like big portions of food and then realising it was me. that’s what I need to survive.

Out partying with a friend On my first weigh-in with Slimming World, I weighed 16 stone 11 pounds, which was the heaviest I’d ever been. But in contrast what I used to call my happy weight was 13 stone, which was when I got married, it was my My husband and kids cooking the family meal together comfortable weight. To me I felt I just needed to lose a couple of stone to get back to my happy place, my My husband wasn’t in as bad a position as I was when wedding rings weren’t fitting. I started Slimming World. He had gained some weight while I was pregnant as well. In fact, he lost about 2.5 stone by proxy, just through changing how he was I have had many diets, from cabbage soup diets, (which eating, and now he’s at a perfect weight for him. But I’ll is where you live off nothing but cabbage soup for a never forget when I told him that my sister had emailed week), where I dropped 10 pounds in a week, then me the photographs of Annie’s birthday. I opened the gained 10 pounds the next. I did Slim Fast for my wed- email up on my laptop, and just closed it afterwards and ding which involved drinking daily shakes and having said to my husband, “Okay, on Tuesday night I’m going to Slimming World” and his reply was “Uh-huh”, nothing else. And from Day One he absolutely supported me. Now when he cooks a meal, he makes sure that he’s doing it the Slimming World way.

I only found Slimming World literally when I googled it. I found out where my closest one was - just a 10-minute walk from my house. Two days later I just walked through the door. I took a big deep breath, opened the door and went in. I had done it before, back on the old plan when it was very confusing, but I wasn’t prepared to do that again. I walked in and met my amazing consultant Gemma, who’s now one of my best friends. It was the moment when she said I could eat pasta, that I knew I was onto a winner, because I love pasta. My favourite dish is a Carbonara, in fact my final meal before going to Slimming World on that Tuesday, was a Car- bonara, because I was thinking ‘I won’t be able to have this again’. To discover that I could still eat burgers and chips that I make myself, was mind-blowing and I could remember thinking it could never work. My first week I Healthy food all the way ate more than I’d ever eaten in my life. We had lasagnes and burgers and it was just incredible, and I said to my photo, saying 'who's that in the 16 advertise your business both online @ www.cranleighmagazine.co.uk and on this page CRANLEIGH MAGAZINE consultant the first week, ‘I’ve done nothing but eat all week’. She smiled and said “Good.’ I weighed myself and had lost 6.5 pounds in the first week.

The reason for that was cooking with the right ingredients, zero fat and completely cutting down on the amount of sugar. The beauty of Slimming World is that nothing is restricted, you can have a little bit of what you fancy. Like with a Carbonara you take out the cream and cook the proper Italian way by whisking up an egg and parmesan that are carefully measured out - that’s the perfect Carbonara - with some additional lean bacon and mushrooms. I like to throw in courgettes as well - its divine. You would never know that it was ‘diet food’ as people call it.

and he didn’t actually know. The fact that they will never remember me looking like that, has had a knock-on ef- fect to my children’s life as well, because they eat really healthily. As I was looking through their baby books the other day I recalled that Annie’s first words were ‘Mummy’, ‘Daddy’ and ‘cake’. Ronnie’s were ‘Annie’, ‘Daddy’ and ‘banana’. That just shows the difference between how I raised each of them to start with. It’s amazing, that banana was Ronnie’s first proper word. continued on page 18 From this ...... to this!

I lost 6.5 stone in 52 weeks exactly, so on the 1st anniversary of joining the group I hit my original target. I then sat at target for a couple of years then I lowered it and lost 7 stone in total and kept it off for 3 years. At my last weigh- in I was 9 stone 10 pounds.

Slimming World has made a huge difference to me personally. I have real confidence now, not a false confidence. I run a lot and quite a distance. My husband always asks how long will I be when I go out for a run and I say I don’t know. I’ve run from my house in Farncombe, to my in-laws’ house in Cranleigh, along the railway track which is 17km.

I am part of my children’s life now. When we go to soft plays, I don’t sit on the edge I go down the slide with them.

We were looking back at old photographs and I showed It is amazing how I have changed my lifestyle, this is them to my son Ronnie who was 6 weeks old when I the first time I fitted into a size 8 after starting at a size 20 joined Slimming World and I asked him “Who’s that?” photo, saying 'who's that in the advertise your business both online @ www.cranleighmagazine.co.uk and on this page 17 CRANLEIGH MAGAZINE continued from page 17

They love our lifestyle and get involved themselves with the cooking as well. We go off for big bike rides as a family as I’ve got a trailer on the back, so I’ll take both kids out in that. My husband doesn’t pull a child on his little tiny bike but I’ve got a bike that can I slog up hills on. I could never have done that before I lost weight.

The last time we were cycling up a hill altogether, I said to my husband, “This is really, really hard” and he said “Yes, but you do realise the weight of the trailer with the children in, is still less than the weight you have lost.” To You can change, just keep trying and don't give up!

As a working mum, with two small children, children activities. It was located in the Children’s Centre it’s easy to put yourself low down the packing order, but in Farncombe, near where I live. But I actually fell in actually, mothers are so important. love with Slimming World so much that I remember thinking ‘I want to do this’. It was about the time I’d lost 4 stone in 6 months I thought, ‘This in incredible, I want to help other people do the same.’ So I went along to the Opportunities Meeting and bit their arm off when they told me I was the right person for the role. I did my training, picked up my first group in Bramley on a Monday night and opened with 55 new members. It was bedlam, absolutely crazy. I then took over the running of the Cranleigh morning group, taking that from 32 members to 70 members in a couple of weeks and then last January I opened up the Cranleigh evening one again and got 72 new members in one night.

So, that’s where I am now, it’s a full-time job. It has been completely life-changing for myself, my husband and family.

Usually because I can’t find something! When I organise it all, the pleasure is huge and I am more ef- ficient and free up time previously spent searching for a document! I have to change my perception of what filing and admin are in my life…this is my resolution for the New Year. It’s a new beginning, a new way of ‘If you are discouraged with where you are in life, get excited because thin gs are about to change!’ looking at the tasks that I really don’t like. Anthony Robbins In a study of formerly obese people, researchers at the University of Florida found that virtually all said that they would rather be blind, deaf or have a leg amputated than be obese again. That is the extent of our desire to be slim and yet two thirds of people in the UK, USA and Australia are overweight and one quarter obese. Diabetes is set to cripple our NHS and yet the disease responds so beautifully to a change to healthy eating habits. Why can’t people make the change? It all boils down to pain or pleasure once again.

Whatever we face in life brings pain or pleasure, but when perceived pain interferes with following through on an eating plan, it’s not our willpower that has to change but our mindset. As we head into another year we all have the same opportunities to make changes…we all have mindsets that sabotage our progress and our happiness so let’s look again at how by Sue Potgieter we see our world. Let’s reframe our language about Registered Nutritionist & Naturopath mBANT CNHC losing weight or eating healthily and stop some of the stories that we tell ourselves.

Ollie Haydon (Landscaper) planting a tree on top of the time capsule with parents and children at Amlets Place LOCAL CHILDREN BURY TIME CAPSULE CALA Homes has given the future generations of Cranleigh a glimpse into life in the village in 2018 by inviting children to bury a time capsule. The children were joined by their families, members of the CALA Homes sales team, and Urban Vista Landscapers, and were tasked with burying the time capsule whilst taking part in a special tree planting event. The event was held as part of Na- tional Tree Week, which ran from 24th November to 2nd December. Included in the time capsule were written pieces the children wrote about themselves, their families as well as drawings and toys. Some more imagin- ative pieces included a letter full of wishes for their children’s future.
