A while ago I wrote the post “Realisation.” I was in a bad place and felt like it was only going to get worse unless somebody gave me a short sharp kick up the backside. Along came Thinking Slimmer and their amazing Slimpods. I started of by curing mychocolate addiction and then moved on to the “Lose a Jeans Size” slimpod.

A few weeks ago I wrote a post introducing you to Thinking Slimmer. It has been 21 days since I started my Chocoholics Slimpod which claimed it would cure my chocolate addiction. I will admit I was sceptical. I ate chocolate like it went out of fashion. I would go to a shop and spend roughly £5 a time and eat it in a day, even though sometimes it didn’t get close to satisfying the craving.
About 10 days after starting the Slimpod I realised that I hadn’t eaten any chocolate for a couple of days and that I had a bag of M&M’s in my bedroom that had been there for over 24 hours. It was a bit of a shock so I reached for the M&M’s to calm myself down. After about 2 mouthfuls I sealed the bag and put them in my drawer. I have never not finished chocolate but I just didn’t fancy it. That bag of M&M’s lasted me 5 days.
At around about day 17 my Mum mentioned to me that I had lost a fair bit of weight so I should go and weigh myself. I stepped hesitantly onto the scales and looked down. I nearly fell off them! In 17 days I had lost a whopping 11lb! After I had Spud the weight I had gained did just fall off but with Spike I had remained the same weight that I was the day after he was born. I think the sheer amount of calories I was eating through chocolate were counteracting my bodies natural ability to shed baby weight and now that I am not binge eating every night it has started to get rid of the excess weight I was carrying.
I do still eat chocolate. Yesterday I ate a Yorkie. But I ate one Yorkie not three and I enjoyed it.
I love my Slimpod and I know that I may need to re-listen to it in the future if I start to slip but for now I am able to go to sleep without headphones in and still not binge on chocolate every day.

After I wrote Realisation I spent a few days really down about my body. I used to be really lucky and be able to eat anything without gaining but then age and babies do a lot to you. I was pointed in the direction of Thinking Slimmer. They help you to lose weight naturally without an exercise plan or diet in place, just with a change of attitude and eating habits. It takes ten minutes a day (when you are in bed no less!) and within 21 days most people see the effects.
I decided to give it a go and was contacted to talk about what plan would best suit me. Now I am a chocolate fiend. I could quite happily eat nothing but chocolate even if sometimes it doesn’t satisfy my craving. I will put to kids to bed and then leave the baby monitor with the Hubby so that I can go out and get my fix. If he is at work and I can’t go and get any, I feel extreme disappointment. It’s so bad that sometimes when he has been working I have walked with the boys to the shop before their bedtime, to stock up for my evening! I have noticed recently that I am suffering from the bad side effects of chocolate – the sugar levels peaking and dropping, mood swings and of course weight gain. So it was decided that perhaps I should try the Chocoholics Slimpod to start with and nip that bad habit in the bud.
I received my complimentary Chillpod and immediately gave it a quick listen to see what I was up against. Trevor, the voice of Slimpod, certainly knows how to get you listening. He has one of those voices that you just can’t block out, you just have to listen to every word that it is saying! I started on it at bedtime last night and truly felt myself relaxing which is a huge bonus because I usually get into bed and start thinking. Every worry pops into my head just as I am trying to get to sleep. I will be starting on my Chocoholics Slimpod tonight which I am really torn about! The addict inside me is telling me that I will miss chocolate, that I shouldn’t do it because we NEED chocolate but I am determined that my husband willpower will win and I will put those headphones in and press play when I get into bed!
Wish me luck everyone, here is to the start of my 21 days!
