Starting over
Hi all,
I joined this forum a while ago and though I don't post very much I do read a lot and am very inspired by you all. I went to slimming world a few months ago and lost 81bs then promptly put it all back on and more! I guess I am like a lot of people, I mean well but don't keep at it and lose will power. Then I try again and fail, then I join the 'Sod it' club and carry on as normal. I also feel that like a lot of people I don't sit and eat pizzas and crisps every night and drink gallons of beer and yet I still have weight problems!! I am no saint as I like a bit of cake, but I don't pig out and I eat all the right things eg wholemeal bread and low fat stuff etc. I think my weight problem is more due to not being very active. I need to really get motivated as my health is suffering and my consultant has suggested bariatric surgery. This frightens me to be honest and I have to let him know on Tuesday if I want to go ahead... I told him last time I saw him that I would try to lose weight in the 6 months on my own. Needless to say, I haven't.... Why?? I don't know, I suppose It just hasn't sunk in that I have a serious problem... I have 4 stones to lose and really want to do it. I just don't know what it is that makes me think Oh well, a bowl of weetabix for supper and a milky coffee can't be too bad and a little tiddly choccy bar here and there won't make a difference!! I suppose it's the accumulation of all the little bitty extras that add up rather than 'pig outs' thats stopping me. I am rambling on so will stop now. I have all the SW books, info and support from this group so I am going to try again. I may fail.... but then I may just succeed!!! Thanks for reading folks....
