Eating More is Hardly a Chore

Mother of two, Laura, was determined to lose weight without dieting. She recalls,

"I gained 10kgs after giving birth to my children. I tried to lose the weight by reducing my food intake, but it only led to exhaustion. And as a Mother of two lively toddlers I needed all the energy I could muster!

"I decided that I wasn't interested in dieting. After all, denial is never going to be a long term solution."

Brisbane resident Laura decided to seek advice from health professionals, and on the recommendation of one of her husband's colleagues she joined the Wesley Weight Management Clinic's three month weight loss program.

12 weeks later Laura had achieved her weight loss goal, losing 12.2kgs and re-gaining her energy. She smiles,

"When I visited the Wesley Weight Management Clinic I was pleased to hear that its weight loss program isn't about dieting - they are about taking positive steps toward long term results."

Laura's Dietitian, Annalie Houston, says,

"Laura only needed to make a couple of minor tweaks to her lifestyle to achieve her weight loss goal. She needed a more structured exercise program and some quick and healthy recipes to prepare while looking after her small children."

Laura was more than happy to incorporate Annalie's suggestions into her lifestyle,

"Before joining the Wesley Weight Management Clinic I didn't eat proper meals: I snacked all day. With small children and a husband that regularly eats with business colleagues, snacking is an easy habit to fall into. Plus I'm not a huge fan of cooking!

"I'm still not a huge fan of cooking, but preparing meals with my favourite foods isn't too difficult.

"And I now struggle to finish my meals - nutritious meals are so much more filling than snacks!"

Having lost 12.2kgs as a result of eating more food, Laura is convinced that dieting isn't the answer to weight loss success,

"You can only maintain changes to your lifestyle when they are enjoyable and improve your health. I now eat tasty food, I never experience hunger and I feel healthier and more energetic. I'm hardly tempted to return to my former habits!"

Laura summarises her time at the Wesley Weight Management Clinic with a smile,

"I learnt to live more healthily at the Clinic: the weight loss was just an added bonus!"
