New to Minimins, but an old hand at slimming

[Trinity2500]

So, here I am! Trying to get as much in the way of support as I can, whilst trying not to lose my mind when it comes to losing weight!

I have been on and off both SW and WW over the years, but the only plan that ever worked for me was SW, so I started back on it a while back.

After a family bereavement and my birthday, the excuses are over. They have to be. I will be honest with you all (well, the people that are reading) and say that this is my last chance to have a baby, so if I don't lose it, I will never be a mum. I can't bear the thought, so I have to do it this time. No excuses.

I have a very bad habit of blaming circumstances, others and pretty much anything but myself for my consistent failure to succeed at maintaining any sort of weight loss, but now is the time to start taking responsibility for my own shortcomings.

I hope that this will help, but maybe it is just another thing to do instead of getting up off my wide derriere.... time will tell!!

Hi and welcome to Minis

SW is a great plan as you have already discovered, and taking this step is the first step to the new you

Wishing you every success

Keep motivated , are you doing extra easy? , always great support here if you need it xx

 

[Trinity2500]

I am doing extra easy. I do love it, but I also love Kit Kats, and one a day is just not going to happen!

Thank you for the offer of support! I just may take you up on that! x

A Kit Kat a day is doable if you're happy to eat low-syn meals! Good luck with your journey, sounds like you've got your head in the right place at the moment so I'm sure you'll be flying before long x

I am just so bad with snacking! I haven't even checked the syns on a KitKat, so maybe I could do that and go from there!

I just need to stop buying junk! That is my downfall...

No idea about a chunky or 4 finger, but 2 finger is 5 syns. I know as I also love kit kats and I have two packets in the cupboard!

Is it just chocolate? Highlights or options drinks are quite good, a chocolate hit for 2 syns.
Or is it snacks in general?

I did look it up right after I posted and found the same info. Two fingers are better than none, but I will be buying the smaller packs from now on. It is too tempting to eat all four once it's open!

Unfortunately, it is snacking in general. When I was doing SW before, I found that it took me a little while, but eventually I saw fruit as a good treat rather than chocolate. I just have to change my way of thinking.

I do like the idea of options though. I love a bit of hot chocolate now and again. I shall add it to my grocery list now! xx

It definitely hasn't been a great couple of months, but I know that my Gramma (which is who I lost) would want me to be healthy, so I will do it for her as much as anything else.

So far I have found the site immensely helpful, and everyone has been so welcoming! xxx
