Weighed in today and during image therapy there were some members that said that they tend to have a blow out on a Thursday and Friday because they know they don't have to weigh in for abohter 5 days. During this conversation it came out that some members would eat 5/6 chocolate bars a full hog at the curry house etc and then get onto plan on Sat/Sun/Mon.
As much as I respect my consultant and can see where she is coming from, I don't agree with her. She stated that instead of the members doing this and not considering how many syns its is or how it will affect them to flexi syn instead. Count what you are eating and how many syns it is and just say im going to give myself 'x' amount. I don't see that as being a lifestyle change, as slimming world is said to be.. I see that as people doing the diet for 5 days and then having 2 off. Surely as we all know slimming world can incorporate all the things that you love like chocolate, wine and curry without you having to have massive flexi syn blow outs every week.
Is this a strange opinion to have or do a lot of people flexi syn? I just feel like it puts added pressure on the rest of the week!
(btw after that conversation it made me more determind to have a 100% week lol)
