My Year In Pictures
Debbie achieved success – and you could too
The book 'My Year in Pictures' tells how Debbie lost more than 5st in a year. She started charting the fears, pitfalls and successes she experienced, and because she’s dyslexic and she wanted desperately to get her feelings down on paper, drawing pictures each day really helped her to communicate how she was feeling.
As she lost weight, her feelings about the world around her also changed. She found more energy and became more active. She engaged with people differently. She took on challenges and realised how much her weight had been affecting her both physically and emotionally. She found support in many places and a strength she didn’t know she had.
It’s an amazing journey and My Year in Pictures is full of insights and reflections. It’s a story of courage and determination. It’s inspiring and motivating.
If you’ve tried a lot of diets over the years some of Debbie’s story will be familiar to you. Once you see how she approached and overcame each hurdle, you’ll be able to identify with her journey, to help you prepare for what’s ahead.
It wasn’t easy for Debbie at times, but she found an inner confidence, stood her ground and shed the depression and anxiety that she was feeling due to years of being overweight, out of control and obsessed with dieting.
She’s no longer scared of the future – and some of her achievements are pretty awesome!
It’s a great read for anyone embarking on a similar journey. It isn’t a book about dieting – it’s a book about how to change your life!
Debbie successfully shed years of embedded eating habits and through beautiful hand-drawn pictures and her daily blog, shows us that losing weight is only part of the journey. For Debbie, getting off the sofa, becoming more active and involved and engaging fully with her children, with friends and with life were the biggest rewards.
