Hi everyone.
I am starting Slimming World (again) in the New Year, I know I dont have what it takes to start now, with Christmas just around the corner, but I am ready to start on January 2nd!
Anyway, I am trying to plan ahead and sort out my food diaries etc but I have a little problem.
When I did Slimming World once before, i only did it for a couple of months and found that I was getting the most awful migranes, when I hadnt suffered from them in years. I came off SW and havent suffered since (touch wood!!) and upon doing some research, I have found that the most likely cause was having too much sugar substitute and too many things with artificial sweetener in, like the muller light yogurts!!!
Now, I have a REALLY sweet tooth and although I know I can use Syns for chocolate, somedays there arent enough Syns left and I know that if I force myself to cut out too much sweet then I wont stick to the diet as I will be miserable!!
I tried fruit as an alternative but dont really enjoy eating it just as it is and if I try to make it into a pudding, the receipe always calls for more SUGAR!!
Please please can anyone give me some ideas as to how I can stick to Slimming World without using artificial sweetener. I really want to make 2011 the year I (finally) lose the weight I need and dont want to get horrible migranes anymore!! (I get the really bad ones where my vision goes blurred and my head screams in pain!! AAARRRGGGHHH!!!)
I hope that aswell as getting some great advice on here, I get to make some great friends too.
Thanks for your advice in advance.
