Hi guys and dolls, I’ve already posted briefly in the intro’s section but thought I’d ask a few questions here, as I’m giving some serious thought to starting Slimming World.
I’ve been following Weight Watchers on and off for about 18 months now, and have never managed to stick with it for longer than maybe 4 weeks. I get SO hungry on my 18 points a day, no matter what I eat, how much veg I pad my meals out with I’m always hungry. And the meals are usually ready meals because I can barely boil an egg without putting someone in hospital.
The main reason I chose WW was because it seemed to fit with my lifestyle/social life. I’m one of the lads, my Saturdays are filled with
footie, beer and the inevitable pub grub. Being on WW fit in perfectly with that, I could have beer and a pub lunch as long as I kept within my points or used my activity points.
The things that frighten me the most about Slimming World are:
1. Losing all sense of portion control, overeating and ultimately gaining weight.
2. The expense of buying non convenience products, which leads to…
3. I fear I won’t be able to follow the plan properly as I can’t cook.
4. I don’t like fruit and veg.
5. I fear that I’ll have to give up my Saturdays with my mates, and generally give up what little social life that I have.
So I was wondering, how well does Slimming World fit into a normal life? And just what sacrifices have to be made for the sake of slimdom? (Apart from the obvious/usual)
