Hi Everyone
Sorry if I am posting this in the wrong place, I am just learning to navigate the site!
I am not new to Slimming World, I lost about 2 stone with them about twenty years ago (I was about 16 at the time!) I have also been back, briefly, about three times since!
This time, I really don't want to give up. I am already hugely discouraged, because after working really hard in my first week to stick to it, I lost half a pound. It wouldn't be so bad but there were several others whose first week it was and about four of them lost ha;lf a STONE in week one! I am well chuffed for them but really, grrrr!
I have looked back over the week and realised I underestimated some syns when I had lunch out - good old Wetherspoons, I thought I was safe with a jacket potato but no, their chilli one is 14 syns...lol. I also did the fresh pasta (synned) versus dried (free) thing. So frustrating!
This week I was determined not to give up as a result of a disappointing weigh, but yesterday I totally messed up again - ate out and did really well but then I ended up buying something later, guessing the syns as low and then found out I'd scoffed 16! I feel like I am being totally obsessive and still not getting it right.
I should clarify, my brain is already a tad messed up, as I recently separated from my husband, in a horrible situation which means it involves an ongoing court case in America while I have returned to England and after seven years of marriage, back to living with my parents. I would like my doing SW to be, apart from getting my health back and wearing a sparkly slinky dress next Christmas, something I do for myself to get my own life and self back.
I could do with some support and I will start a food diary on here too to keep me focussed.
