Tom at High Lane Conservative Club

Hi! I’ve always struggled with my weight, including awkward childhood check-ups with the school nurse to “keep an eye on things”… truly mortifying! As an adult, it took real courage (and a friend) to walk into a Slimming World group. I was sure I’d stand out, that everyone would watch me walk in, that I’d instantly say or do the wrong thing. None of that happened. Instead, I found kindness, laughter and people who just got it - no spotlight, no pressure. Food Optimising is generous and flexible, with no calorie counting, no banned foods and no judgement. Now 5.5 stone lighter, I run fun, welcoming (award-winning) groups where real life happens and you’re met with kindness. If you love food (like me!), I promise you’ll feel right at home!
