Hi guys & gals
Im Nadine im 27 from Belfast and I am starting Slimming World for the 4th time, as Ive said in some of the forums the reason i didnt stick at it before was because when I got a gain I gave up straight away - instead of staying for image therapy I got weighed, left, came home and comfort ate and didnt go back.
Ive struggled with my weight since being diagnosed with PCOS (poly-cystic ovaries syndrome) my weight crept up and up. I was really unhappy and suffered depression with this. 8 weeks ago I took the bull by the horns and thought surgery was the only option, I was going to have a gastric band put in. I went for the initial consultation and wasnt really happy with the stats they were giving me - plus it was a huge amount of money (here in Northern Ireland we cannot get it on the NHS). After some soul searching I decided that I was going to give SW one more go. I had tried all the slimming clubs & fad diets and the one that suited me was SW.
Last week (3rd of July) I joined with my Dad who needs to lose weight due to blood pressure problems. I had heard of minimins from group and thought - yes, I need as much encouragement as possible!!
So I stuck to the plan (went over my syns one day and had 18 - oops) but I cooked really gorgeous meals, made soups and still had my 'fry' on Sunday.
I went to class this evening and was hoping for 4lbs, I thought - I have been so good etc etc
To my amazement I lost 9 lbs !!!!!!!
For those of you who may read this and are thinking of joining or are looking for encouragement - I failed many many many times - but as the title of my diary states - ENOUGH IS ENOUGH - bring on the weight loss once and for all!!!
