    Maybe a return to slimfast

    Ive bitten the bullet and gone for it. Had powder in the cupboard so had my 1st shake again! You probably will be hungry for the first couple of days but it does get easier as your body adapts. Keep up the fluids, i'll be drinking plenty of water. Especially when my tummy starts rumbling.

    I think the cost could be an issue to be honest. I cant afford to attend meetings, i was just going to get weighed and come home again anyways. Now i weigh myself and write down everything i eat.

    need more boundaries

    Exactly! Hit it on the head chipbutty. If i went over on Discover then i had to up my exercise or watch what i ate for the next couple days. With PP we think everythings available in huge quantites cos of the extra 49. I understand the reasoning behind them but still not suitable for everybody.

  220. Loser85

    amazed by point differences

    I was a wee bit to begin with but you have to remember most people have a lot more daily points on PP to make up for higher values. Personally im chuffed only spending 2p on a roll rather than 4.
  221. Loser85

    need more boundaries

    I cant use PP for the same reason. Its like the 49's a trigger in my brain that tells me to stuff crap but always over the amount im 'allowed'. Need the discipline of old points to keep me on the straight and narrow.

    binge eating and slimfast

    I'm a prolific binge eater and as wobbly tum says i feel it helps a bit as i know what i'm having for 2 out of 3 meals. The only thing i can really suggest is take it a day at a time, that way you're not thinking too far ahead. Good luck to you :)
