Melanie, a Re-Shape Programme member, gave herself a goal: “Before Christmas I made the decision that I need to lose weight. I spoke to my doctor, and he referred me to a dietitian at the practice to discuss my options.
We discussed medication change, and she suggested a group called Re-shape. I looked up the course and gave them a call, and they added me on the session on Thursday evening.
This was a big step for me, as meeting new people and in a place I didn’t know, it was a lot for me, as I’ve never done this before.
I went to the face-to-face session and I really enjoyed it. The people there are all from different backgrounds and they all have their own reasons why they are on this course. Since going to the session, I’ve found myself looking at food differently and making better decisions on what I eat.”
Melanie now says she’s catching herself looking at the food labels more, and she’s been using the guide given during our Re-Shape sessions, which she says have really helped “They are pinned on the fridge.”
Each Re-Shape session is different “Discussing topics around nutrition and listening to people in the group talk about their experiences and opinions really helped. I would recommend this group to anyone as it really helped me. Natasha who takes the evening sessions is really good and does not judge anyone.”
