Meet Suzette Gross, (54) from Centurion. For years, she didn’t really care about what she ate or drank. She indulged in wine, made unhealthy choices, and always thought, “I’ll start eating healthy on Monday”. But, as we all know, Monday never came.
Then, everything changed on Christmas Day 2023 when she saw photos of herself. Shocked with what she saw, she found it was her wake-up call. She knew she needed to take action, but wasn’t sure where to start. That’s when she discovered Slender Wonder through social media, seeing real people achieve real results. Inspired, she took the plunge.
While she felt starting the program was intimidating, and worried about feeling constantly hungry and giving up too soon, she was determined to push through, and to her surprise, the support from Supreme Aesthetics Centurion made all the difference.
“One of the biggest advantages was the simplicity of the meal plans. There was no need for fancy or exotic ingredients—just everyday, nutritious food in the right portions. The golden rule? If it’s not in the booklet, don’t eat it.
My lifestyle as a housewife made it easier to plan and prepare my meals. Even when I had errands to run, I made sure to bring along my approved snacks and scheduled my meals accordingly.”
After two weeks, she stepped on the scale and saw she had already lost 5 kg. That’s when she knew: “I’m fully committed to this journey”.
After six months, she had lost a total of 23 kg—”I went from a size 14 to a size 8. More importantly, I finally felt comfortable in my own skin again”.
But the changes weren’t just physical. “My self-confidence skyrocketed. Before, I was embarrassed about how I looked, avoided social situations, and even refused to go to the beach with my husband. I even avoided intimacy because I felt ashamed of my body. But now? I feel strong, beautiful, and empowered”. The best part she says, “I finally have energy again. I no longer dread getting dressed in the morning or worried about what others think. I walk with confidence, knowing I have taken back control over my health”. For the first time in years, she walked on the beach in December, feeling strong and proud of her body. “I will never go back to the way I was before.”
One of the biggest challenges was social gatherings. It was tough watching friends enjoy snacks and drinks while she stuck to her plan. But she reminded herself of her bigger goal—”Every small sacrifice was a step toward my dream body and a healthier future”.
With the right mindset, she kept going. “Seeing my clothes become too big and hearing compliments from my family gave me an extra push. My husband’s unwavering support and words of encouragement were a game-changer. Today, I no longer just eat—I make conscious, healthy choices. My fridge is always stocked with fresh fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. I prepare my meals with care, ensuring portion sizes are correct. Even when dining out, I opt for healthier alternatives.”
Beyond food, she has also embraced an active lifestyle. Suzette now walks four times a week for 30 minutes, something she never would have imagined before starting this journey. “I also hold myself accountable. I weigh myself once a week to stay on track and have purged my closet of all my “big” clothes—there’s no going back!”
One of the most valuable aspects of her journey was the support from the Slender Wonder team at Supreme Aesthetics Centurion which made her feel like she had a cheerleading squad behind her. Every time she walked through their doors, they encouraged her and made her feel proud of her progress. “Knowing that someone was tracking my progress held me accountable and made me even more determined to stay consistent. After all, what’s the point of losing all this weight just to fall back into old habits?”
Suzette says—“If you’re reading this and hesitating to start, my advice is simple: Slender Wonder is not a quick fix—it’s a lifestyle change. If you’re serious about losing weight and keeping it off, this program works. And most importantly: Do it for yourself, not for anyone else.”
Suzette has maintained her goal weight for seven months, and she plans to keep it that way. Her approach is simple:
– Continue eating the way I do now.
– Stay active and committed to my health.
– Never allow myself to fall into the same unhealthy patterns again.
If you’re thinking about starting Slender Wonder, Suzette says she wants you to know—”It’s absolutely worth it. The journey has ups and downs, but every kilogram you lose, every boost of energy you feel, and every moment of regained confidence makes it worthwhile”.
Your transformation starts today—trust the process, commit to yourself, and enjoy the journey. 💪✨
