New To Slimming World

[Miss_W]

Hi - I'm new to slimming world and pretty much new to being healthy.

I'm 26 and have always been a big girl to say the least. After battling depression and coming off my medication my dress size has slowly been creeping up and up and enough is enough. I went to my first group meeting last night and I was horrified by how much weight I'd piled on over the past 2 years.

So now, I'm giving the slimming world diet a go. The group I went to last night was excellent, the group leader was friendly and approachable and ever so helpful - there was no need for the nerves I was feeling. I've armed myself with a slimming world magazine and have had my nose in the starter pack for pretty much the whole day. This website has some cracking ideas for meals- I love cooking and can't wait to try some of the recipes.

I'm hoping that keeping a diary on here will help me keep on track with my diet. Eventually I am hoping to get into doing some sort of exercise - I'm uber lazy and don't like sweating. Even my part time job is one where I sit on my arse all day. :/

Hopefully, the thin person inside will be able to get out haha.

DAY ONE

Breakfast:
2 slices of bacon, 1/2 tin baked beans, 2 mushrooms, 2 scrambled egg

Lunch:
Banana, Shape Choc Desert (5.5 Syns)

Dinner:
SW Smoked Haddock Pie (2 Syns)with plenty of broccoli and carrots

Snacks:
Small bowl of cous cous, 3 cherry tomatoes, spring onion.

HEA - Milk for tea throughout the day
HEB - None - attempting to stay away from bread for the time being.


I've felt like I've done nothing but eat and eat and eat all day. The only thing I have missed is crisps. I could eat bags and bags of them some days. I think it's the fact that I can't just go and grab a bag or three that's tormenting me. Haha. Will definitely have to find something to help me get over my cravings for crunch.

Cous cous with bacon and chicken; peppers, onions, lettuce, tomatoes and garlic. Shape Choc Desert (5.5 Syns)

SW Diet Coke Chicken with rice; peppers, mange tout, baby corn, onions and celery. SW fluffy choc mousse (1/2 syn)

Snacks:
SW Homemade crisps, banana

Day 2 done. Now that I have found a replacement for crisps (SW syn Free home made crisps) I should be fine. Could have murdered a brew and a piece of cake at bingo though. LOL

Work will be the struggle at the weekend - where I work it is common practice to eat all day out of boredom. I am planning to arm myself with lots of grapes and apples. Just hope no customers bring me anything to tempt me lol.

Feeling pretty good today. I've not really missed having chips or the dinners I am used to. It's pretty similar stuff just cooked in a much healthier way. I do miss having sandwiches though, and wotsits, and chocolate. Before this week I tended to have only one meal and loads of little unhealthy snacks. I'm hoping to build myself up to having 3 full meals a day and hopefully this will help me to erase the memories of constant snacking lol. I still find myself going to the fridge when I am bored though - need to get out of that habit - even if I'm only looking now and not scoffing.

Hello,

Well done on being so good! Youre doing really well!
I don't want to ruin things for you but speak to your consultant about the crisps - theyre known as a tweak and we have told must be syned as its not as intended same with smash cakes/pastry/dumplings etc lots of people argue about it so totally depends on how you feel.

I have the baked star crisps which I think are 4.5syns, or space raiders are 3.5, others have hoops and crosses which I think are 5, or quavers are around 5 too.

Again Im sorry but thought I should warn you please don't be mad at me.
Maybe you could make a salsa to have with them then youre getting a 1/3 superfree?

Also what is SW fluffy choc mousse for only 1/2 a syn?!!! sounds lush!!xx
