Life begins at 50, for a mother who lost 5st 10lbs and became an Independent Cambridge Weight Plan consultant.
Local Witham Friary woman, Elaine Powell, decided to take control of her life this time last January after a fall in the shower caused broken ribs. Elaine had started to pile on the pounds, and her health was suffering.
Elaine said, “I had become an overweight woman that was invisible, I struggled to get around and the broken ribs only made things worse”
Elaine’s family life was also suffering and felt her daughters were also feeling embarrassed by her weight. “I had become the heaviest mother in the playground. I felt isolated and as we lived out in the countryside, it was quite easy for me to withdraw into myself and comfort eat. I had lost touch with my old friends because I didn’t want them see what I had become. I even stopped having my photo taken with my kids because I hated how I looked.”
Elaine then found Shaftesbury, Blandford area independent Cambridge Weight Plan consultant, Celia Manville, who has encouraged Elaine in her weight loss and on to becoming part of the Cambridge Weight Plan team.
Elaine explained, “The pounds came off easily as the weeks went by and I became slimmer and fitter, I even feel a lot younger. The food packets were tasty and convenient and easy to fit into my life style and when I felt like giving up, I always remembered the reasons why I started my diet.”
Elaine lost 5stone 10lbs over the space of 7 months. Gone are the size 22 black clothes, replaced with a colourful size 12 wardrobe.
The mother-of-two has a whole new lease of life and has reconnected with her old friends again. Elaine spoke of her new life, “I have found a new hobby in Nordic walking – it’s a fantastic way of keeping fit and meeting new people socially. For the first time in my life I feel comfortable and happy in my new body. I am so pleased with the new me that I have recently become an independent Cambridge Weight Plan consultant myself, and I hope to bring Cambridge Weight Plan to Frome, Westbury and the surrounding areas. I hope to inspire people to lose weight, as I have found out it’s never too late to find the new improved you.”
