THANK YOU, TAYLOR, FOR MAKING ME A BETTER MUM
START WEIGHT: 19st 9lb WEIGHT NOW: 10st 9lb TOTAL LOST: 9st — weight of TAYLOR SWIFT PENELOPE WYPER, 36, is a Slimming World consultant. She lives in Southampton with partner Gary, 47, a multitrader, and their children Eden, seven, and Darcie, 21 months. She says:
GROWING up in a home where money was tight, meals were cheap, processed food and we’d be encouraged to clear our plates. By 12, i was already overweight.
The turning point was when Gary and i started thinking about a family. i wanted to be the best version of me, not the overweight, anxious version.
when i stood on the scales at Slimming world, i was so disappointed with myself. But, with ironic timing, two weeks later i discovered i was pregnant.
The Slimming world plan is perfectly safe when you’re pregnant. So by the time i’d had Eden, i was 2st 4lb lighter than when i’d conceived.
i’ve learned to eat in moderation, and cook in a healthy way — it’s a good example to set my children. i’m so much fitter and healthier — the mum i wanted to be. The other day i met a friend who hadn’t seen me for a few years and he didn’t recognise me!
now i’m a Slimming world consultant myself. i’ve got 350 members — who knows what glamorous people i’ll help them ‘lose’ along the way?
