Well, Ive done slimming world several times with varying degrees of success. Not because it doesnt work but because after a few days I start rebelling at being told what to eat, despite it being me thats doing the telling! But I get the plan, being able to eat loads works for me and I can integrate it into my life quite easily. The family is used to eating SW recipes and Ive really got into some of the tips like cooking with fry lite etc. The different thing Im going to focus on now, is in previous attempts I have chosen to ignore the 1/3 super free recommendation. Im not sure why, it just never seemed important so I glossed over that bit! Perhaps thats why Ive been going wrong? Anyway will make a much greater effort with it!
Im 44, well into the obese category with a BMI of 35.4 and am at the stage where I feel if I dont start to tackle this now, Im going to start really being impacted by my weight. On a positive note Im pretty active and mobile but I already have joint pain, am easily tired and cant do several yoga moves because my belly is in the way!
Ive been concious of the need to pull my finger out but last weekend I organised a horse agility event with the main purpose being to meet new like minded people - and when I saw the photos I was horrified at the double chin and huge belly. This is not the first impression I want to be presenting to new people!
Im successful, smart, confident and in control of my life and I love it. But the one thing I struggle to get on top of is my emotional and boredom eating. So this is it. I love forums for advice and support and I feel I can be pretty honest about my thoughts to 'get them out there' - Im aware of my thoughts and feelings but havent ever written them down before so I think it will be good to have a record to refer back to. So hello, new friends but be warned Im a talker!!!!!!
