Episode 242 Melanie Douglas A passion to share her incredible intermittent fasting lifestyle that has been life changing.
My name is Melanie Douglas. I live in Bangor, a seaside town in Northern Ireland. I’m 63 and married to John. Between us, we have 5 grown-up children and are expecting our 10th grandchild! I worked as a nurse for 35 years, before changing direction, becoming a Lay Pastor in our local church, before I retired last year! Since retiring, I have had the privilege of being a funeral celebrant …
What an honour.. My battle, my torment with my weight, started like so many in my early teenage years…my mum was
an amazing cook, and food was central to our family…huge portions, followed by ( IF we cleared our plates) sumptuous desserts…she would tell me when I was tired or grumpy, “ you need to eat”.. whipping out a packet of sweets, to pick me up…thus I learned the lie that sugar was my friend, my comfort, my go-to when life was hard…a deeply- ingrained belief that has sabotaged every diet I have ever tried…and I have tried them all..even becoming a Consultant for Slimming World ( akin to weight watchers) ..which showed me that calorie restriction does not work…I was in despair…true despair…I loved to be slim, longed to be free from the mental torment &
