You MUST start taking action. Even when you’re terrified. Even when you don’t feel ready.

Stop thinking about all the reasons why you can’t and start acting like the person you want to become.

There is tremendous research that backs this up. It’s called Behavior Activation Therapy and it works.

Want to be healthier? Act like someone who takes their health seriously.

Want to stop feeling so stuck? Start acting like someone who isn’t. Action is key.

Once your brain sees you taking new action it will start to see YOU in a whole new light. Each time you get up right when the alarm buzzes, and high five the mirror, take time for a decent breakfast, do 10 mins of exercise, or - rejoin Slimming World - it’s a win.....another vote for the person you want to become.

With every action your brain believes more and more that you are capable of achieving more and more - because you are! 😉

And you don’t need to do this on your own. If you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed and you want a little help or a push, I'm yer wummin. ❤

🤩🤩🤩

I saw this tonight and it made me pause and ponder.

I often think that if more people knew you could eat cooked breakfasts, bangers & mash, macaroni, spaghetti & meatballs, BBQ chicken, tower burgers, chilli, chicken madras and baked tatties, AND STILL LOSE WEIGHT, more people would definitely join us at Slimming World. An absolute revelation of yummy food, resulting in weightloss and improved health. What's not to love? 🤩

Wee planning meeting in Tesco cafe today with the newest member of our team. 🤩☺️ (and his amazing mummy 😁)

🤩Recipe of the Week 🤩

🍒Bakewell trifles🍒

Did you know that it’s National Bakewell tart day TODAY (11 August)! Why not try these out for some Bakewell flavours.
These pretty two-in-one puds come with a big old dollop of nostalgia! The recipe was taken from Slimming Worldʼs Food for the Soul cookbook – itʼs packed with more than 60 deliciously yummy, spirit-lifting dishes

🍒Ingredients 🍒

⭐️ 2 medium eggs
⭐️ 1 level tsp sweetener granules
⭐️2 level tbsp self-raising flour
⭐️ 1 tsp almond extract
⭐️ 1 level tbsp raspberry jam
⭐️ 10 fresh cherries, halved and stoned, plus
⭐️ 4 whole cherries to decorate (or use raspberries)
⭐️ 11.5g sachet sugar-free raspberry jelly crystals
⭐️ 4 tbsp plain quark
⭐️ 250g low-fat custard
⭐️ 160g pot fat-free no-added sugar cherry yogurt
⭐️ 10g flaked almonds, toasted, to decorate

🍒Method 🍒

⭐️ Get your oven warmed up to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4.

⭐️ Put the eggs and sweetener in a bowl over a pan of boiling water and whisk with an electric hand whisk for 5 minutes or until the eggs have tripled in volume. Take the bowl off the heat and sieve the flour over the top. Using a metal spoon and a figure-of-eight motion, fold the flour and the almond extract into the mixture, then spoon it into a small non-stick loaf tin. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden, then leave to cool in the tin.

⭐️ Halve the sponge lengthways and spread with the jam, then cut the sponge into small cubes and arrange in 4 tall glasses. Divide the halved cherries between the glasses, too.

⭐️ Make up the jelly with 300ml boiling water and put to one side until it’s cooled to room temperature, making sure it doesn’t start to set. Divide between the glasses, then chill for 1 hour or until completely set.

⭐️ When the jelly has set, stir the quark through the custard, spoon the custard over the jelly and top with the yogurt. Add the cherries and evenly scatter over the almonds to serve.
