'I knew I had to make a change for the sake of my disabled daughter'

Sara Matthewson is a full-time carer for her daughter Sophie Reporter A mum has shared how she made a big life change for the sake of her disabled daughter. ‌ Sara Matthewson is a full-time carer for her daughter, Sophie, and began to realise that she had neglected her own health. ‌ The 51-year-old, from Northfield, had piled on the pounds over the years and weighed in at just over 21st 8lbs. ‌ She decided to join Slimming World in an effort to improve her health and went on to lose a whopping six-and-a-half stone.

But like many carers, she admits she spent years putting everyone else's needs ahead of her own. "I realised that if I wanted to continue being the best mum and carer I could be for Sophie, I needed to look after my own health too," she said. ‌ Time for change The mum joined a local Slimming World group in Cotteridge run by Nikkie. Week by week, the weight began to come off and today, Sara has lost an astonishing six-and-a-half stone. However, she says that the benefits go far beyond the number on the scales. ‌ Sara added: "I feel healthier, happier and more confident than I have in years. "I have more energy, more confidence and I know I'm investing in my future and in being here for Sophie." Sara, who now weighs 15st 1lb, credits the support she received in group as a crucial part of her success. ‌ "Group gave me accountability, encouragement and belief in myself. Even when life was difficult, there was always someone cheering me on. "Thank you, Nickie and everyone at the group." ‌ Sara added: "However busy life becomes, don't forget to look after yourself too." Her story is an inspiring reminder that carers, who spend so much of their lives looking after others, deserve care and support themselves. Message from Slimming World consultant Slimming World consultant Nickie said that Sara's achievements had inspired everyone around her. ‌ "Sara's achievement is absolutely incredible," she said. "She shows amazing commitment every day as a full-time carer and is an inspiration to our whole group. We are so proud of her." Nickie hopes Sara's success will encourage others who feel they are too busy caring for family members to prioritise their own health.
