Many of you know that I have been battling to stop losing weight while on maintenance.
I did not go to group last week as I was not feeling well but when I went last night I lost another 1.5 pounds, and I was truly shocked as I thought I had gained.
I had upped my HEXs, and had far more than 15 syns per day. I ate a lot of things that I don't normally eat, like chocs and crisps, and didn't even count some of the syns I did have, like gravy, fat on meat etc. I even ate things prepacked chicken kievs, and I know they have lots of syns but I counted them as free! And I have not even measured, or always counted my alcohol!
Anyway, I am starting to get awkward looks from people in the group and snide comments. I totally understand how frustrating it is as everyone is trying so hard to lose weight and there I come trying to stop and it isn't happening! I really don't think they believe me!
My consultant has been away for a couple of weeks and the replacement one is lovely so I thought I'd have a word with her.
She suggested I up my HEXs even more to see how I get on this week, and I will try again.
I asked her if I could drop my target again to what I am now but she would rather I talk to my regular consultant as I am heading towards the lower end of the accepted SW weight range.
Members in class suggested I do things like have a blow out all week or have fish and chips a couple of time a week.
I really don't want to get back to my old eating habits so am in a bit of a quandary.
I personally feel that the best would be to re target but I am not sure whether my consultant will agree with that.
What I really don't want to do is to start paying again, when I am not trying to lose, and I will have to do that if I don't put on 1.5 pounds this week! It's not just the money, though that does count, it's the principal.
Anyway, I will see what happens this week but part of me says I should stop going to group as I honestly do feel a fraud and am embarrassed now.
I love going to SW and am scared to give up going as I feel I may go back to square 1 but I really don't know what to do now.
I have really battled to lose weight all my adult life, and my SW journey was really hard to begin with. It's only since I nearly reached target that I can't stop! I have never been in this situation before. Yes, it's fantastic to wear size 8 clothes but it needs to stop!!
Sorry that this is a bit of ramble, but would love to have advise as to what others would do.
Thanks for your patience!
