Just looking for some help to get back on track with my diet...
I started Slimming World in April 2007 and lost 3 stones in about a year and a half. When the weight stopped coming off and I no longer had a loss every week I started to feel a bit embarrassed about going to class and in the end stopped completely.
Because I was scared about the weight creeping back on, a month later I joined another slimming world group. In six months I had lost and gained and was only 1 pound lighter than I was when I started the second group.
I think I had got used to being 3 stones lighter, being able to buy nicer clothes and feel generally healthier and didnt have the same motivation to lose weight as I had when I first started in 2007.
Again, I started to feel embarrassed about going to class and hearing how everyone had lost amazing amounts of weight and each week I had stayed the same. In the end I decided that it wasnt worth paying each week to go to class when I wasnt actually trying to do the diet so I stopped going.
A few months later I got engaged and a wedding date was set for 20 August 2011. I weighed myself for the first time since I stopped going to the second class and realised I had put a stone and a half on. I decided that it was time to go back to slimming world so joined group number three just before last Christmas.
Group three started well but then Christmas parties, Christmas itself, New Year, going on holiday, going out with friends (and every other excuse I could think of) got in the way and I put the weight I lost at the start of group three back on.
I have now missed going to this group for two weeks, feel embarrassed about going back again and am a bit sad that the group consultant hasnt got in touch with me to ask where I am or see how I am getting on!
In total since April 2007 I have lost one and a half stones.
I desperately need to lose weight for the wedding (ideally about 3-4 stones!) and am now considering joining group four!
I just feel I could go on forever joining groups, not losing weight, feeling embarrassed, moving on until I'd exhausted all the slimming world groups in my area and not being any slimmer for it!
Ultimately I've totally lost my motivation and I know that no-one can help me to lose weight until I am prepared to give 100% to it . I'm depressed because the clothes I'd resigned to the back of the wardrobe are now making another appearance and I feel really unfit. I binge on crisps and chocolate all the time and am struggling to get back on track.
If anyone has any advice at all it would be much appreciated.
Just writing down how I'm feeling has helped....
