New To Slimming World

[Going To Be Slim]

Hello

I am new, and I am trying to do Slimming world on my own, I have about 2st to lose.
I need all the help I can get, I am ok in the day when I am at work, but it's when I get home in the evening that I struggle.
I am hoping that I can get some help from here.

Welcome to Minimins and Slimming world!! Everyone on here is so friendly and helpful.

I am exactly the same, fine at work during the day, then as soon as I get home (and on the weekends) I just want to raid the cupboards eat all sorts of bad things. It gets easier to resist once you have been on plan for a while, but I have to admit the first couple of weeks were quite challenging. All worth it though and I'm sure you will see those pounds melt away in no time

Good luck on your weightloss journey hun xx

Hi and welcome to Minimins and SW.
Everyone here is great
I did SW at home on my own, lost 32lbs in 16 weeks ( 2st 4lbs) The 1st weeks are the hardest, with withdrawal symptoms from any of your previous foods ( for me i had major sugar withdrawal) Get some good recipes and and make substantial meals ( lunch and dinner) so you have filled up on healthy food, then you can use your syns on some treats.
I have found that going cold turkey on sugar and chocolate has worked the best. Because when i have had days where i have allowed myself, say chocolate, the craving for it comes back and its hard to get off all over again. There are lots of SW friendly puddings to satisfy a sweet tooth

Good luck

Thank you all, you all seem very friendly. I hope that I can stick to the plan, but I always seems to give it at night and then I just think "oh stuff it" and when the next morning comes I try again I feel that I am just going round in circles. Hopefully by joing minmins I will be able to be able to finally lose my weight.
I have manged to be good for a day now, one day at a time.

Try to find something to do in the evenings which involves using your hands - knitting, typing, sewing, whatever. Something that means you won't have time to go and eat something.
