“I can go to bed upstairs now,” Rebecca shares a simple pleasure many take for granted. “I’m much more sociable, and of course I am eating better on a daily basis.”
Perhaps most significantly, Rebecca has returned to work. “The biggest change though was that I was finally able to start working again this year. I’ve been able to get a new job as a midday supervisor at a local primary school. It’s quite active, I have to stand for all my full shift. Cleaning, tidying up after the kids. There was no way I would have been able to do this sort of job before I lost the weight.”
Weight loss has unlocked activities Rebecca thought were lost forever. She had always loved swimming but “it took a back seat before.” Now she visits the leisure centre before or after work and has even completed a course at her local leisure centre.
“I’ve found the programme really good. It’s been so helpful. I’ve recommended it to so many people,” Rebecca says, though she notes that “it’s not that well known.” The user friendly app makes tracking easy, and the comprehensive support system addresses not just weight but overall health and wellbeing.
Rebecca’s story proves that no matter how difficult circumstances become, transformation is possible. From sleeping downstairs and feeling trapped at home to working actively and swimming regularly, her journey shows what comprehensive support can achieve.
As she puts it: “My life was awful, I didn’t go anywhere. I just sat in a chair and stayed home all the time” but that’s no longer her reality. Rebecca’s transformation demonstrates the life-changing potential of the Oviva programme for those ready to take the first step towards better health.
