Anyone in the 9s want to be in the 8's ??

[donna88]

My other half thinks I may be bordering on anorexic cos I can't see now thin I am. O honestly think I'm massive.


I can't honestly say i have not been 100% today lol x

My family used to be like that, my mum really used to get on at me, but she's started slimming world now...well not properly she just has healthy meals and she has two HEB as she doesn't want to loose weight.

I really worried about her when she started it as she was counting all her syns, but she's very thin anyway and she runs marathons, but now she's relaxed and she eats whatever syns she wants and has the two HEB's, she's 8 stone 3 and says she doesn't want to loose any more but doesn't want to gain any either as last time she did a run she felt so much better then she has for a while running! But she still has people telling her she looks too thin, which she doesn't, she really doesn't want to loose anymore but she doesn't look too thin.

Nikki you look so slim and gorgeous, but I totally understand where you're coming from. I get comments all the time from family telling me I'm starting to look ill and not to lose any more weight - but often when I look in the mirror I still see fat and blubber! I now try to pick parts of me that I like and focus on those - for instance my arms are quite muscular and I like my bum now too

No body is perfect and I don't believe there is anyone that is completely happy with the way they look. It's all about embracing what we have and being happy - though we all know too well that it's easier said that done! X

That's so true, my mum is only just happy with her body because she feels good running, but she still has issues with it and I'd kill to have a body like hers

Aww thanks hun that's made me smile

I think im more dissapointed in myself for letting me gain 10lbs BUT I know I can lose them just as quickly. My mum was saying last night that she wishes she could lose weight as quick as me (when I stick to plan!!!) and my sister who usually says I'm looking to thin etc was actually supporting me and saying she knows I can lose it. So this morning I'm feeling positive!

Xx

It's really nice when you get the support from your family isn't it. When I was trying to get down to 9 stone it seemed everyone was against me saying I'd look too thin and that I should stay at 9 stone 7, I wasn't happy at 9 stone 7 but it felt like I was constantly struggling against everyone! Luckily most people have changed now and support me and say I look nice, I think my mum would have something to say if I told her I wanted to go to 8 stone 7 but she was fine when I said 8 stone 12. I have my mum and my boyfriend on side now and that's what matters to me.

My family all think I'm at target there's only my oh that knows I want to loose more. In my immediate family I am the thinnest by far but still not thin. They all see me as too thin and don't want me to loose anymore so it's hard. My mum is really big and so is one of my sisters when I was back there the other week I tried to get them to eat healthy and suggest we go on walks n stuff but they weren't interested which is probably why I gained 5lbs while I was at my mum's!!!

I keep trying to get my sister to go to SW. She was a size 12 at her school prom 4 years ago but then she started working at maccy D's and rapidly put weight on. Even though she has not been there for nearly a year now she still hasn't lost the weight..., size 18-20 now. She is absolutely gorgeous and she hates taking about her weight to anyone apart from me. Just want to help her :-(

I think with me off the pill now and back on SW I'm going to start walking and jogging as I've cancelled my gym membership and have 7 weeks until the race for life!!! X

Speaking of family, as i was making my oats for brekkie i got the syrup out and had my mother making a comment of "oooh syrup? That's not very good for the diet is it?"with a massive smirk on her face. I keep getting comments like these because they don't understand that it is basically everything in moderation, they only see a diet as constant plain salads and fasting... Siigh

Its so frustating to want to go out and do exercise but no one else is there for support and you even feel guilty for suggesting it. At least thats how i feel back home sometimes...

my mum was a bit like that but rather then thinking i was going offplan it was constant random questions like "are you allowed this?" i got fed up of having to say "you can have whatever you want just some things in moderation as you have to syn them"

Yeah i get the same thing, thing is i've explained the whole plan to her loads of times but she either just takes the piss out of it or i get the spanish inquisition about all the "bad" things im having.

Yet she still keeps saying to have thai green curry, which is made with a whole can of coconut milk and gets funny when i say i don't want it because of the syns. 39 for a can!

Feeling soooo sleepy today and have a bit of a wine head. 1hr left at work and then home for bed!

Aww it makes me sad that you beautiful thin ladies see yourself as fat :-( Nikki and vicky you are both very slender and toned. People would kill for a body like that

I wish you could see what everyone else can see.

I think we will always see imperfections that noone else can see and that no matter how thin we get we will always find faults that exist to noone else.

I truely believe that they will never go away, of course we can get to a target weight that we will be relatively happy with but we will never view our bodies as perfect, very very few people ever do.

That's kind of where the scale towards eating disorders exists- it goes from the normal
Insecurities that pretty much everyone has right up to the extreme and sadly even death. It's so sad to see a friend or family member go on that slippery slope - starving themselves or making themselves sick to attain this unrealistic "perfect" body when they are already so thin and beautiful.

I just think its important to realise that you never will be happy with every part of your body and learn to love it as all the thoughts in your mind can lead down very dangerous unhealthy paths! x

wow thats shocking, we make thai green curry with philli so its 1 hea each and a syn for the paste we have (think it might be half a syn actually but i count a syn to be safe) sometimes other half adds a splash of milk as well. its lovely. although we did used to have a syn free powder but havent seen it since

People who don't follow swimming world really don't understand it!

I suppose its a lot more complicated then you think, unless you've read the books and had a new member talk then you cant get your head arouns it. in the end i ended up printing my mums partner off all the important pages and talking her through it as i was fed up of all the questions... still get them but its more how many syns are these? rather then can i have this?

hope work goes quickly for you, nothing worse then being tired at work




cant get to the bottom of your quote on my phone but just wanted to say i completely agree. but its always easier to see how good other people look rather then how gpod we look ourselves

Thanks Laura its so hard to see it in yourself but everyone else always sees it.

I have such a bad habit of comparing myself to others and I know I'm the one to blame when it comes to not being toned or having put a few lbs on.

I just don't want to slip back into bad habits and end up back at 12 st 5, like the first time I did slimming world 5 years ago! And this where I'm convinced I have body Dismorphia because that's all I see in my head. Must find my fat picture and compare the 2 when I get home x

That's a brilliant idea, I find looking back at old pictures of myself and comparing them to newer ones is a great when I'm feeling fat. It never works long term, but as long as you can look back again then I don't see a problem. I was looking back at some pictures to post on here and I can't believe how big I was at times :/
What really shocks me is at times I feel worse about my body now then in the past.... only at times though, I could never let myself get back to what I was, next time I have a baby I'm going to be so careful when I'm pregnant
