Losing a loved one can trigger a downward spiral, and for Susan Whitehead, it led to emotional eating and weight gain.

Feeling lost and alone after the death of her mum, Susan turned to food for comfort, but it only exacerbated her pain. Tired, breathless, and out of control, Susan knew she needed to make a change. That's when she joined Slimming World in Dysart and went on to lose 10st 8lbs.

Food Optimising: A Lifesaver

Slimming World's Food Optimising plan gave Susan the control she craved. She rediscovered the joy of cooking and eating, embracing a vibrant and fulfilling diet. "I love being in control and I enjoy cooking and eating a wide variety of colourful meals that fill me up," Susan says.
