Hi all
So i have finally started Slimming world online. Im not a fan of diets particulary as I had an eating disorder when I was a teenager so did not want to get too muddled psychologically, however I suffer from fibromyalgia and low self esteem and believe this is a good route for me to lose the extra stone or so that I know is not good for me.
The issues I am facing are the following. I am currently on a very highly stressed work project and being an emotional eater I find that whilst I manage to control my syns during the day it is when I come through the door at night that I am having and going well over my syns.
It doesnt even tend to be my meals I prepare but often when I want a chocolate fix and reach for a low syn option (a fudge or a light cadburys mousse) one just is not enough and I end up blowing my whole syn count and then beating myself up.:sigh: I know there is talk of flexisyns and using allowance from the rest of the week but as I am going over 15 more frequently then I am not I am just wondering how I can solve this problem. I feel if I have no chocolate I will syn even more!!
Do many people go over their daily syns or am I alone in this and any emotional eaters like myself do you have any tips?
In need of support (and I cant attend groups due to my working hours by the way)
Thanks everyone
