Hi everyone, I have been looking at the SW site for weeks & seriously toying with the idea of joining. I tried it years ago but didn't enjoy Red/Green days.
The EE sounds too good to be true and I am rather sceptical. I am a bit of a binge eater & most diets don't come near to filling me up.
I sat in at a class last week but the leader who although was friendly enough, was bigger than me!! I left without joining as I thought if the plan was that easy to follow why wasn't the leader doing it? She admitted she had food issues & her weight is up & down but I need major support & didn't feel inspired (is that unfair of me)?
I also have a very sweet tooth & do not like mullerlight yogs (don't like sweetners - leave a nasty after taste).
Basically, is it as easy as it seems without making your head hurt thinking about it??
Sample of what I think I could eat:-
Breakfast - 2 slices of w/meal toast (400g) bacon, scrambled egg, toms, quorn or joes sausages, beans.
Lunch - Jacket Pot, Low Fat cottage cheese, salad eith dressing (0.5 syns) & salmon + fruit
Dinner - Sheperds Pie (made with colmans packet 2 syns per portion) with loads of extra veg
Snacks - low fat choc bar, or dessert?
I think I may be OK with savoury stuff it is finding lovely dessert ideas that do not include loads of quark or yogurt!!
I am going away in 3 weeks and know I am going to be so upset with the way I look so if I joined a SW group tomorrow, I could be a good 9lbs lighter if I was very good.
My Hubby & I had a chat last night & although he hasn't said anything, when I asked him he said he could tell I was putting weight on.
I have had a weight problem for nearly 20years on & off & at 38, I want to lose weight for good & live a normal, happy,healthy life.
I am at my heaviest weight ever & feel utterly miserable. I need to lose 5 stone to be where I would like to be but 4 would be fab!!
Please give me your EE experiences & weight losses please with any good dessert ideas.
Thank you so much for listening tome going on!!!!
