Hi
I'm Lyndsay and completely new to this site and to Slimming World.
I have to admit that after nearly 16 years of battling with bulimia and my weight rising and dropping through the floor within weeks of eachother, I have decided to take the bull by the horns and lose weight properly using a healthy diet and exercise.
I went to my first class last night and the idea of the amount I can and am supposed to eat is filling me with fear and anxiety as it is a complete change of thinking and I do not have a great relationship with food.
I am eating breakfast for the first time since my teens and a proper lunch, dinner and fruit in between but I seem to be hungrier than I ever have been, is this normal?
I am also really thirsty and drinking loads of water something else that I never did before unless it was with a forced meal so I could carry out my usual practices afterwards.
Any help on how to use this site and friendly support would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
