Episode 20, Andie Darlington my first transgender guest shares her slimming story as a Slimming World member.
Andie is a Slimming Stories first having won both "Man Of The Year" within her local Slimming World Class and "Woman Of The Year". Andie who works as a journalist felt so at ease within her local Slimming World class that unbeknown to the man that walked through the door several years previous she would be surrounded by an acceptance allowing her to lead an authentic life. Andie describes how she didn't want to be an old man looking back on life wondering what if….. Transitioning in 2020 is received with more acceptance than in years gone by but there are still challenges as Andie talks about hateful messages that she still receives today. Andie’s episode will be published amidst the Coronavirus pandemic during a time when people started to reach out to one another with a pause from their laptops and iPhones. Andie didn't expect the warmth and acceptance she received at her local slimming class but this is exactly what happened. Andie talks about lifelong friendships in a heartwarming story in a time when we are all in need of a virtual hug.
