"I make healthier choices - that is who I am now."

163-3163-2When Brooke joined the workforce, her busy life and travel commitments led her to slowly drift into unhealthy eating patterns.

“My work keeps me incredibly busy, and also very social. There were times where I didn’t feel like I was in control of my food and drink choices.”

It wasn’t until her dad had a health scare that Brooke suddenly realised the impact her weight had on her life, and how it was necessary for her to make the change.

“My father had a stroke, and that really scared me and my family. “During his recovery, the doctor was explaining the risk factors associated with strokes and I remember thinking to myself, this is going to be me.”

Brooke was ready to make the change. After speaking to a family friend who had achieved success on the program, she contacted the Wesley LifeShape Clinic to get started.

“As soon as I started my program, it’s like everything clicked, and I saw success right away. It was the first time I had actually been completely honest with myself when it came to my weight. There was no pressure from the Dietitians at all, just understanding. If you follow their plan for you, it will work - you will see success,” she explains.

Brooke had tried numerous weight loss programs in the past, so she thought she knew a lot about healthy eating. It wasn’t until the start of her LifeShape program that she realised how much she had to learn about her diet choices.

“I slowly realised how much I was taking in each week at my consultations, they were incredibly helpful in making me understand the eating choices I had each day. I had a great start to my Lifeshape 9 program, and started to understand that my work life doesn’t have to dictate my diet choices.”

230-1Brooke’s life has completely turned around since her amazing weight loss achievement. She has received tremendous support, particularly from her co-workers throughout the life of her program.

“The program definitely improved my work and life balance. I am now getting up earlier and leaving work earlier” she says. “It really has put some clarity into my days and improved my routine.”

“Everyone at work has been incredibly supportive and have even been providing healthy food options at morning tea and lunch events – not just for me, for everyone!” she laughs. “I have been just overwhelmed with support.”

Feeling like a new woman, Brooke is also receiving so much support from friends and family as well. Her Facebook page was overrun with comments and messages recently when she uploaded a new photo of herself and her nephew.

“I had people messaging me that I hadn’t spoken to in years! It was very flattering.” “I feel a lot younger and feel like I can actually dress for my age too” she explains. Brooke’s weight was always a topic she avoided when it came to her clothing choices. “I was never accountable for my weight because of the clothes I bought, but now I’m throwing out old clothes and not looking back. Buying size 12 Witchery jeans the other day was the best feeling.”

Brooke has found a special way to reward herself throughout her weight loss journey, buying a piece of Tiffany jewellery at every milestone. “I’m off to New York next week to purchase my last present!” she says.

Weight loss used to be a somewhat embarrassing subject for Brooke. Now, the fear factor is gone and she is finally living life to the fullest. Her LifeShape transformation wasn’t a shock to the system, but a structured process that has changed her life and become her everyday routine.

“I don’t feel like I have had to sacrifice anything after my program. My skin is better, food tastes better and I make healthier choices because that is who I am now.”

Brooke’s experience with the Wesley LifeShape Clinic was extremely positive. Not only did she lose an incredible 25kg^ on her program, she is also taking control of her busy lifestyle. Because the program was tailored to her needs, it made her feel at ease with the plan ahead.

163-4 163-1“You feel like everyone cares. They all know your program and ask you how you are doing when they see you. It definitely makes you more accountable.” While there were challenges on the program, Brooke was prepared for the obstacles and persevered with the support of her family and friends. “One of my dietitians said to me, there are 35 meals in a week, 1 won’t make you fat.” It was comments like this that helped Brooke move past harder weeks.

“The effort to go back is greater than the effort to keep going” she explains. “You need a lifestyle that is going to get you out of bed in the mornings, and that’s what I have now.”
