Hello Everyone,
So after the last 11/12 years of trying every diet/fad going I joined Slimming World last night. Seriously I have tried them all, slimfast, atkins, cambridge, weight watchers, i've skipped meals, only ate at certain times.... i'd lose weight but then put it right back on.
Over the last couple of years my weight pattern would go like this:
- Jan - Heavy due to christmas excess
- Feb - Aug - Lose weight and get down to my prefered weight
- Sep - All inclusive luxuary holiday where I would eat and drink whatever I wanted
- Oct - Cry as i'd put 1.5 stone on
- Nov - Dec - carry on eating whatever as i'm already big and will only put more weight on over christmas.
and repeat and repeat and repeat...
So i'm a 33 year old man and i've had enough. You'd think being vegan would mean i'm always eating fruits and vegetables - but there are a suprising number of rubbish vegan foods (Oreos any one?!).
So I decided to join Slimming World as some friends from work have had a great journey and kept the weight off . I need to sort my relationship with food. I know I eat when i'm low/upset so hopefully going to group will help with that.
I thought some people might be interested/have questions about what a vegan Slimming World journey looks like so thought i'd do some updates here?
Look forward to chatting!
