Apart from my 900g loss, I got made over by Trinny and Susannah!!!! For those of you who do not know about them, they are Britain's makeover queens who take women and transform them.
I went after being invited by my Weight Watchers leader and friend Sharon to Tea Tree Plaza to watch the show. Little did I know that they chose people from the audience to partake in the makeovers and I was chosen. As you can see from the before shots, I was wearing nothing special, just my workout gear as I had planned on going for a walk later on in the afternoon and figured I would be more comfortable. I screamed "in need of help" to them and Trinny picked me.
I spoke about my weight loss and I was led away to be transformed. After the transformation I was brought back on stage in front of everyone and I couldn't stop grinning like an idiot. I felt very different! Looking at the photos you can see why:
The biggest highlight for me was appearing on the news and also the article in Adelaide Confidential that came out the next day:
Of course the day wouldn't be complete without $175 in vouchers to go and buy clothes. It was the best feeling and I even got to keep the Trinny & Susannah shapewear that I wore under my dress! I even got phone calls from people and my mum had people ringing her lots about my appearances. So please excuse me while I sit on cloud 9 for a while and bask in the fact that I feel good and that I've been told I'm gorgeous, it took 18 months of sheer hard work to get this way!
I must say though, for those of you still on your journey, this is one way of celebrating some very hard work and showing off to people and having nice comments said does give you a boost of confidence and a spring in your step that you didn't have before. I would never have dared to dress like the photos in a million years, I am not that confident yet!
Congratulations!! You look amazing!
