Caroline, who attends the Haxby Slimming World group, is a full time carer for her son who has Cerebal Palsy and Autism . Whilst giving her all to his full time care she had started to gain weight which was making those daily care tasks much harder. Having Stenosis in her back the gained weight was increasing the pain and limiting her ability to move around.
Lifting and carrying her son was becoming harder on her back and emotional eating became the crutch that got her through. Caroline says “ I had always been a bit of a yo-yo dieter, I tried anything you can imagine. One day after a beautiful day out with my family I looked back at the photo’s and my weight gain really upset me.
Over the years I have given my everything to take care of my son the result was in that picture.My family is everything to me and I needed to not just lose weight but keep it off so I could continue caring for them the way I really wanted to. Without telling any one I walked into my local Slimming World group.

I was so anxious but I needed to change, I needed to be healthier for my children – it was the best decision I had made. The members were so welcoming and Corinne, the consultant was so friendly.
I walk away from each week in group feeling I can achieve anything. The food is amazing, .
