Hello everyone!
I have previously done slimming world (and weight watchers, and the 'make-you-feel-ill' shake only diet from the chemist).... what feel like MANY times before.
I have SO much weight to lose - and every time I try I ALWAYS fail. I just never keep going and end up back at square 1!
I probably have about 14 stones to lose - not entirely sure as the weighing scales currently are 'battery-less'!
Slimming World has been the only 'diet' that has ever worked - but I have only ever 'lasted' a maximum of a couple of months...
I am just currently recovering from an illness that has really got me down... my blood pressure is through the roof and I am off work.
I am hitting that time in my life where I feel that if I don't decide to do something about this extra weight - then it will rule my life forever. I struggle to do my job properly, NEVER feel sexy/pretty/good about myself, get out of breath easily, am ALWAYS boiling hot and having hot flushes, sweaty, embarassed about being so big and generally making me unhappy.
My (younger!) sister has just had baby and it's really made me re-evaluate things... do I want a baby? I've not had a period for 3 years because of my weight.... I'm getting to the point where it would be too late for me to have children - I'm not saying I definitely do, but I don't want to regret it if I don't decide until it's too late.
I'm newly married to a fabulous man who I adore... who is also very overweight. I get embarassed when we're out together - particularly in restaurants/cinemas/etc... He loves me for who I am - but loves his food. He is supportive if I want to lose weight - but we rely on food emotionally too much. If we feel down or even if we feel happy we celebrate or commiserate with food! He is extremely head strong - and VERY addicted to food (who am I kidding - that's me too!)
Both of our health is suffering... and I know we need to do something about it....
I work long hours and can't really tie myself to a 'group meeting' every week...
I know I would need support - someone hounding me and keeping me on track - I am VERY easily led... normally down the wrong path! I just feel that the journey I would have to make to become healthy is just too huge...
I was wondering if anyone does the 'slimming world online' - and if it is really worth the money? (Its between £60 and £80 depending on the subscription, for 3 months)
Thanks for any advice... I want to find my 'happy' and I don't think being 'big and beautiful' is it...!
