hi and hello.

[Pat.H]

I used to be a member a long while ago,
Since then I've gained a lot more weight,
I now weigh 315pounds,
I'm eating myself to death so I need to find a way out of the hole I have dug for myself.
I spoke to my GP about weight loss surgery but its not an option,so now I need to find my own way to lose weight again.

Hello Pat. I saw my doctor because I too felt I was committing suicide with a knife and fork My husband and I are retired and got into a rut of not exercising and eating all the wrong things. He pointed us towards Slimming World, here in the UK last November. Since then my husband has lost 4 and a half stones (63lbs) and I have lost nearly 3 (40lbs to be exact) It has been our salvation. No quick fix, no enforced exercising, just a life style change. Hope you can find something just right for you. You have taken your first step to a new you by admitting you need help. Good Luck

Thank you for your reply.
I have been a member of slimming world several times and lost weight with the group.
I actually feel too ashamed to go back.
I have regained all the weight I lost and added another couple of stone ☹

Pat love we have people coming back regularly. And we all appreciate what a hard job it is to walk through that door. It takes a lot of courage. Please give it one more try...? Heck you could be slimmer of the week the week after next Anyone can fall off the wagon, most of us do now and again, but it takes someone special to admit they need help and do something about it. Give 'em a ring say how you feel and you'll be welcomed back with open arms.

I'm going to have a think about it,
Have removed all the junk food out of the cupboards and trying to keep a diary of what and why I eat.
I also walked just under 2 miles which was quite good considering I need a knee replacement and currently have plantar fasccitis in my foot.
I am thoroughly exhausted and will probably be even more lame tomorrow but it was worth it.
Its my birthday on Friday and my mums birthday too so most likely I will return to class after that.

Hi, pleased don't be ashamed to go back to sw, its a massive step in the right direction. look at your current weight as a start weight and know that it will only get better from here. positive attitude is the most important thing.
best of luck x x
