Hello all
I started SW two weeks ago. I lost quite a bit of weight last summer and I become what I and others classed as quite 'slim'. I haven't been 'slim' since late childhood and was so pleased with myself. But due to some severe emotional stress, relationship problems and money troubles I have put back on every single lb and some more!
All problems now on the mend, except financial, so I am ready to shed the pounds! The thing I really struggle with (and I am sure I am not the only one), is that I comfort eat. At the moment I am ok. My main downfall is when times get tough I make Latte's (milky coffees with sugar!). I have to have sugar in the house for my little one's, and the moment I am resisting (very pleased with myself). So there you go I am being honest with myself. Last year I managed to re-educated myself, re-train my brain into learning when I am full and when not to eat for the sake of eating.
So therefore, my goal isn't necessarily to lose a certain amount of pounds (because I don't really weight myself, except twice a month, because if I don't lose or I put on it effects my confidence and therefore I comfort eat), it's to get back to the correct relationship with food.
I did it myself last time, by cutting back food and eating a low-fat/high fibre diet. My mum has been a member of SW for quite a while, so therefore I thought I would give it a try. I can't afford to join online or go to classes. But I use my mum's books and this wonderful site!
Just short a short hello!
