Hi all,
I have been following SW for four years and I've lost just over 10 stone. I didn't go to group because I had no job at the time. When I got a job I became an online member and I still am today. I have gone from a size 22/24 to a size 8/10, 20stone 6lbs to 10stone and I aim to be 9stone 7lbs. I lost the first 7 stone in the first 18 months while I was not a member, and although it is not always recommended, I have always saved up 3 syns a day for a Saturday treat day and it worked as you can see from my measurements above. I also usually come off plan for the weekend of my birthday every year and for a week at Christmas. I guess different things work for different people.
The thing is recently, probably the last 6 weeks or so I've started to go off the rails. I am good and I follow plan diligently all week, I usually do a mix of EE and Green days. My Saturday treat has turned in to a full on crazed binge where I am just shovelling any old junk food in to my mouth for no reason. Within 15 minutes of being out of bed this morning I had gone about 15 syns over the ones that I had saved for my treat and I'm still picking on food now. I feel so bad when I do it because the last thing I want to do is go backwards. I tell myself every week that I'm not going to do it next Saturday, then I do. I weighed myself this morning and I am now up to 10stone 8lbs, and although this may sound ridiculous to some people, when I was bigger I wouldn't even notice a gain in weight, now I can feel it and almost point out where it has landed so to speak. My mum and I heard the neighbours talking about me after I had gone in the house the other day saying "see I told you she wouldn't keep it all off for long." Which has really hurt me. I have been having a bit of a rough time this year and started to suffer from depression, this also stopped me exercising because I guess I just lost my enthusiasm (I came off my antidepressants because they were making my appetite huge) and I had surgery 3 weeks ago, but that really is no excuse. My confidence is now sinking. My doctor told me the other day that it's just comfort eating, but surely that would be something I would do whenever I feel bad not just one day a week.
If anyone has any advice they can offer on staying on track or new ways to boost my losses so that I keep focused I would be so very grateful.
