Today I saw something special… something I’ve been working so hard for.

The result of almost 9 weeks of choosing myself. ❤️

Nine weeks ago, I had to face a difficult truth. My weight was climbing again. For the last two years, while grieving the loss of my mam, I had been leaning on an old coping mechanism… comfort eating. (I use the word comfort very loosely.)

What I’m proud of is that it stayed as comfort eating and didn’t spill back into my other old friend… binge eating.

When people hear “comfort eating” they often think chocolate, takeaways or junk food. That wasn’t my story. Mine looked different. It was the comfort of too much, even on balanced meals. I had quietly started using a bigger plate and filling it. My portions had slowly crept up without me really noticing.

I had also started going out every Saturday night, something I hadn’t done since I was a young one! It all played a part in helping me get through my grief. At the time, I needed it.

But eventually it started taking its toll.

I wasn’t walking as much. I wasn’t as happy. I was more tired. I knew I needed to slow down and allow my head to catch up with everything life had thrown at me.

So 9 weeks ago I had a serious chat with myself.

Instead of asking, “What am I doing?” I asked, “Why am I doing it?”

The answer reminded me that the way back has always been in my daily habits.

So I found my focus again.

🚶‍♀️ I moved my body every day.
🥗 I started eating until I was satisfied, not stuffed.
💚 I walked for my head, my healing and my happiness. Walking has become my therapy.
😴 I made time to rest, restore and begin again.

I did exactly what I encourage every single one of my members to do…

I reset.

Because I’m human too.

Just like my members, I have good weeks and hard weeks. I rise, I fall, I lose focus, I find it again. The difference is that I never give up. Sometimes we have to reset once. Sometimes we have to reset three times in the same week.

And that’s okay.

Success isn’t about never needing a reset. It’s about always being willing to start again.

Today, after 8 weeks, I’m 1 stone down.

But more importantly…

I’m happier.
I’m calmer.
I’m stronger.
I’m no longer using food for comfort.
I’m looking after myself again.

Unislim has helped me navigate some of the toughest storms in my life, and once again it has gently guided me back to myself.

I will always be incredibly proud to be a Unislim coach…

But today, I’m even prouder to be a Unislim member. ❤️

If you’re struggling right now, please know this…

You haven’t failed.

You might simply need a reset.

And remember… every single healthy choice you make today is a vote for the person you’re becoming.

You’ve got this… and I’ve got you every step of the way. 💚

Love,
Lisa

12 years ago today I smoked my last cigarette, I used an E-cigarette to help me quit… 12 wk from tomorrow my legs started swelling, I didn’t know why but it wasn’t going away , test after test finally told I had developed primary lymphodeama , my lymphatic system was shutting down and the likely cause was an allergic reaction to the e-cigarette, doctors told me NO POINT in trying to lose weight, NO POINT trying to exercise as this condition was too painful and diet wouldn’t change anything,the following years saw my weight soar by stones , not just from this condition but by Grief too I plunged into darkness … no light at end of tunnel , I knew years later I had to try do something to make me somewhat healthier, Unislim has saved me on So many levels and il be eternally grateful and love helping people find their way thru the hard days to live happier healthier lives , I’m proof that it’s never too late to turn life around, I’m proof that doctors don’t always get it right either , yes I still have lymphodeama, I always will, but I did lose weight and I move everyday walking kms every day because I CAN … I found my way when I’d lost all hope … I gave up smoking to make my life healthier… I didn’t see the swerve ball that would follow…. But I’ve come full circle and I’m healthiest I’ve ever been xx

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to reach out to anyone who may have drifted away from class for a while. If that's you, please know there is absolutely no judgement here—only support, encouragement, and a warm welcome waiting for you.
Life gets busy, priorities change, and sometimes our own goals get pushed to the side. That's completely okay. There is no need to feel guilty about stopping attendance. What matters is that every day gives us a new opportunity to reset, restart, and take one small step forward.
We've just started our June Challenge, and it's the perfect time to get motivated, refocus on your goals, and reconnect with the support of the group. You don't have to be perfect, and you don't have to have it all figured out before you come back. Just come as you are.
Remember, you're never too old, and it's never too late to make a fresh start. Every journey begins again with a single decision to show up for yourself.
I would genuinely love to see you back in class and help support you on your journey. Your seat is waiting for you, and we'll be delighted to welcome you back.
You can join me at any of the following classes:
📍 Wednesday – Kilnamanagh Family Recreation Centre, 8:00am–10:00am
📍 Friday – Scouts Den, Kill, Co. Kildare, 8:00am–10:00am
📍 Saturday – Firhouse Community & Leisure Centre, 9:00am–11:00am
Or if attending in person doesn't suit, you're very welcome to join my online class every Wednesday at 7:45pm.
No matter how long it's been, we'd love to welcome you back. June is a great month for a fresh start, and I hope to see you soon. ❤️
