Community Nutrition

Have you noticed any continued or new benefits to your health or confidence since attending Shape Up and Shape Up Support? My energy levels have increased and I’m definitely stronger and more flexible overall. My moods have lifted and I’m more confident meeting new people. I think I’m enjoying my life more in general and am kinder to myself – not thinking of myself as a fat person. I feel such a massive sense of achievement and pride in reaching my goals. Now I enjoy buying clothes instead of dreading it and am considering putting up a full-length mirror in the house (I’ve never been able to face having one before).

Would you recommend Shape Up to others across Brighton & Hove? Why? Definitely. It helps educate, inform and support anyone to change their own life for the better. Plus it’s FREE!

What words would you use to summarise your experience of Shape Up? Positive, supportive, informative, fun, sociable and committed. w w w . b h f o o d . o r g . u k 27
