Im worried re calorie consumption on slimming world?

[stacey2kl]

Hi there, im 125lb 5'5ft and battled binge eating for the past 4 years!

Getting back on track now thanks to slimming world but i am worried that if i total up my calories they are usually between 1700-2000 a day? i checked this today for the first time!

So far its been 5 days without a binge which is great.!!

I do cycle to work everyday which is a 9 mile trip (4.5 there and back), i walk into town at lunch which is around 20 mins altogether and i gym for 30 mins a day cardio.

Thats a lot of calories isnt it?

Most of these do come from fruit, vegetabl, chicken, pasta etc and very little from foods such as chocolate/biscuits/peanut butter as i tend not to eat them as they are a trigger!!!!

What do you think?

Don't worry about the calories, whatever you do don't try and do SW AND Calorie count, doesn't work and you'll only end up in a constant battle with your brain, one side telling you that you can't eat that much, the other saying its fine. Stick to one or the other. If you are eating until you are satisfied then its fine, the only time you should worry is if you are gaining, then think about cutting something down.
