On Board together…….

For many of us, flights are now back on the holiday agenda. You may feel a little scared and unsure of the journey, and actually that’s often how people feel when coming along to join us at . let me reassure you this is a perfectly natural response, but remember we are all on this journey together and the support you’ll get from us all will help. If at any time you need any assistance, please let us know.

Ladies and Gentlemen, your destination with us at SLIM is towards a healthier lifestyle, learning new behaviours and strategies leading to weight loss. This journey, just like a flight, could experience pockets of turbulence and we may need to divert several times, and possibly even need to circle. However, please be assured this is perfectly normal on a journey of this type. Remember, you are changing habits of a lifetime! But however long this journey takes your destination will be absolutely amazing and everything you imagined it would be!

Our names are Sonya & Jackie and we are your Captain’s for the duration of this journey, and between us we have been successfully piloting journeys such as yours for the last 65 years

Please be aware in order to get to your destination you do need to stay on board!! Not just turn up for check-in!!

Can you also please make sure your phones and all electrical equipment are on silent mode to ensure no unnecessary distractions.

Are you ready for your journey to begin?

The beauty of joining us on this journey is that you are no longer restricted to any particular ‘eating plan’ during your journey, you have full flexibility to choose one that suits you best, and this may change during your journey.

You will need to decide what you are aiming for in the foreseeable future and make sure that it is SMART Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic Timely, and during your journey be prepared to have a one-to-one discussion with your mentor regarding your long-term goals.

It is also recommended that you record the food and drink you consume on your journey, in case you need to make adjustments further along, as the seasons change you will need to adapt accordingly.

During your journey you will find it beneficial if you get up from your seats and move around, as this will benefit in better circulation and improved seat fitting, if you need any extra assistance in this area please ask your mentor who will provide suggestions for you. We do recommend using an activity monitor or app to help you be accurate.

On this journey we have found in emergency situations all too often we rush to help others at our cost, but you cannot help others if you yourself are not equipped to do so. Whilst this may appear a selfish act, it really is imperative you put yourself first. as sadly when we don’t our priorities can shift and we can lose our determination and motivation to continue our flight.

You can’t pour from an empty cup

To get through the hardest journey we need take only one step at a time, but we must keep stepping.
