Weightwatchers leader praised for service
“I was always overweight and had tried every diet under the sun. Everyone has what I would call ‘a last straw’ moment that makes them make the decision to do something important. My ‘last straw’ moment was at a New Year’s Eve party.
“While sitting at the table at the party one man made the comment; ‘Bernie has got her man now she doesn’t care what she looks like’. He said it in a joke and of course what did I do but laugh along with everyone else.

“I started eating breakfast, I started snacking on fruit, I made, and I mean made, myself eat vegetables and yogurts. I was delighted to discover that I could still have my treats and that I did not need to starve myself to lose weight. I also started walking.
“I lost five stone; went from a stretched size 18 to a size 8 and when I reached my goal weight I was asked to become a leader.
“I took on the challenge and have not looked back since. I celebrated 25 years of being a leader this year and to cap it all was voted Leader of the Year in Northern Ireland.”
