hi i have been watching this forum for some time now but this time i thought i join in. i know i need to loose weight, i know slimming world off by heart so why can't i do it ? my husband has told me that i need to do it (it doesn't help that he is really fit with a 6 pack) the doctor has told me that i have to (problems with my liver) and my kids have mentioned that i would be happy like their friends mums if i was slim like them. part of me thinks why should i. i am 36yrs old and i should be able to eat and drink what i want but i know that i can't carry on the way i am going. i caught site of myself in a mirror today in a public toilet and i looked pregnant. i am really starting to detest the way i look and if i feel like this goodness knows what my husband thinks. knowing that i feel like this and everyone wanting me to do it why do i keep sabotaging it. i have no will power at all.
i really need some motivation

Possibly your brain is rebelling because other people are telling you what you should/shouldn't be doing. The brain likes to be in control.
Try and ease yourself into it. It will be a bit 1 step forward/2 back for a while but you will find a day comes when everything clicks into place and you flip a switch and away you go.
I just started aiming for one perfect day a week to start with and then just increased the number of perfect days as the weeks went by.

Thanks guys for the replys. I am fine starting the plan and possibly for the next month or so. But then i get board or something comes up. Mostly i am board or on my own alot as hubby works alot of days and nights so then i pick. I used to go the meeting for support but if i am really skint one week I can't justify spending the money on someone telling what i all ready know.
I know I have some mental block when it comes to all of this I just some need to get past it.
That is the hard part.

Some meeting telling you what you already know....I know exactly what you mean. I have spent so long dieting I feel I already know what I need to. But I don't use groups just to learn new stuff. I go to group because I KNOW if I don't I will fall off the wagon, as you say you do. I NEED group or I will slip up, make the same old excuses and fall back into bad habits. I'm simply not at a point on the road where I am ready to go at it alone.
Attending group keeps me on the right track. Perhaps it could for you too?

I find that the group is the opposite of someone telling me anything. Your story sounds like mine. But I've decided that I DESERVE to feel good, healthy and fit. The added bonus being the pride and support of family and friends. I'm only 3 weeks in (and had a bad day today) but I'm definitely going to my meeting next week.
