i am wondering though about the comments of 'it is in their intrests to keep you over weight' i am shocked to read that, i thought that sw cons. had a bonus for people at target who stil come to group
One kick up the a** coming up
You can't sleep because... you are stressing about sleeping. I know, it's paradoxical and weird, but you need to stop worrying about it. If you can't sleep, get out of bed and do something, otherwise your brain becomes conditioned to believe that bed is a place where you lay around thinking about sleeping instead of doing it.
Doesn't matter whether you read a book, do the laundry, or watch TV. Obviously try not to disturb your partner or the puppies, as the puppies need routine.
Your low energy is because you are overweight and eat far, far too much. It's a self-replicating cycle. If you ever want to get a good night's sleep and improve your energy levels you MUST start to exercise. And if you can manage a 2-5 hour walk every fortnight, you can manage it every day, believe me. Your body knows how to walk the distance, you just have very serious problems convincing yourself to get up and do it because your energy is all over the place.
Eating all the chocolate and processed foods is also cr*pping all over your energy levels. There's no need to repeat myself: everything you need to know about sugar is here: http://www.minimins.com/strugglers-restarters/122390-hate-sugar.html#post2126993
Stop looking for quick fixes. Weight Watchers can't possibly help you if you eat a Chinese every other night and five wispas in a day. Unless you start letting your stomach shrink you are going to keep on needing vast quantities of food to feel full, and if you always feel hungry you'll never be able to stick to 25 points.
Come on! You've done so well so far. You've lost OVER 25% of the total weight you want to lose! Over a quarter of your target and you've lost it already! Come on, how about you aim to shift another 5% in the next two months? Set yourself a target. 5% is about 7lbs. That's just under a pound a week.
How about it? You ready to lose 7lbs by your first February weigh-in?
I hate it that I get judged as a typical fat person that eats too much and is lazy bcos she just cant be a**ed. If I could manage walking and all the rest daily I would love it, but I am in so much pain all the time and physically shattered it isnt possible.
But you did say:I struggle trying to eat 25 points a day as in i can never eat ENOUGH not I eat too much!!
12 jars of Nutella (in about a week and a half)
20 packs of Butterkist popcorn (the small bags)
about 25 Alpen light bars
and a bag of Asda SP onion rings
I struggle in the winter as all I want to do is pig on snacky foods. Its been so bad that the past 3 weeks I have prob had a chinese every other night
Thats alot for someone who struggles to eat.Eg today I had a chinese (Beef chow mein, pork fried rice, chips and gravy...my partner and I had half of everything each so god knows how many points!!!!!) but i also had FIVE!!!!! wispas today....
This is the perfect time to tackle my weight, the other problems I have are not likely to go any time soon so if i dont tackle it now then i never will.Tobii-Rhea
What annoys me is that people are picking up on the odd few times I have binged and not any of the other time when I lost 5 stone myself.
@Sugar lips, You yourself said in the 2nd post of this thread that you had the same problems as me with sticking to plan and it not working so you have suddenly changed your tune.
You know I cant even be bothered to carry on replying because all I am going to get is cr*p so ill just stay away from Mini's and go it alone
I kinda know where you're coming from, I've lost 19lbs over 2 months and then this month it's gone down to just 2lb.
We've just got to stick it out even when it feels like we're getting nowhere and it feels like we'll never get to target. We women are made of stronger stuff lol!
