| I am doing SW at home and I did last year as well. I have had mixed success. This time my head is firmly in dieting zone. These are tips which I have found useful;
1. Even though you are weighing on your own scales, choose a WI day and stick to it, dont get on the scales intermittently because your weight will fluctuate. SW Consultants only weight you once a week so adopt that approach at home.
2. Measure everything it is amazing if you have never done this, to see how big/small certain portions are.
3. Use all the resources you can, Minis is great for syn values, recipes, tips and tricks.
4. Write your food diary as you would if you went to class and count your syns properly. This time I am, last time when I did SW at home as I felt I could "get away" with it and this plagued my success. There is a forum on here for SW food diaries and you will find others doing SW will help and advice if needed.
5. SW is a change of lifestyle. you need to plan plan plan. Plan your meals, ensure yur home is packed with SW friendly food. Batch cook SW friendly meals for you and your family so you can defrost one and cook one like you would a convience meal etc..
6. Have a goal and focus on that. We are coming up to the hardest time of the year so keeping that goal is important to keep focus.
I believe that if your head is there then you can follow any diet any where. All you can do is try to see whether SW at home is an approach you can maintain.
Best of luck xx |
