ahh helen, sory to hear about your health problem, but yes thank god, its benign!! xx yeah it really is mind over matter isnt it and being strong mentally to carry on dieting. Im very impatient when it comes to my weight but this week ive really had to have a chat with myself and say right, u have this condition, u can either give up, eat what u like and just get really fat really quick or you can nip it in the bud now and control it and try to lose the baby weight slowly. Even if it does cme off slowly at least its coming off and not going back on, i think thats the really important thing to remember. i do find myself just thinking oh sod it, im just gonna eat, but now ivegot this condition, its really curbed me to stick to plan thistime as opposed to previous times doing slimming world, there were no scare tactics if u know what i mean to stop me from drifting off it! stick with it helen xxxx mind over matter!!!
