Hi everyone,
I'm new to this part of the forum (hope I'm posting this in the right place) and am looking for your thoughts/advice/accounts of how Slimming World works for you - compared with other plans, is it working better? And why?
I've heard SW is really easy but reading through here it sounds quite complicated and I'm a bit scared that I wouldn't be able to get my head around it, so I suppose I'm looking for encouragement too.
I'm looking for a way to lose weight without going hungry and feeling deprived, and without becoming obsessive. I tried SW when I was 15 (8 years ago) and it didn't work for me - I ate all in sight because "I could" as long as it fell within the guidelines... but now I'm not in that place, I have control and stop eating when full, so wonder if now may be the time to try again. I imagine a lot has changed between then and now, and it is scary thinking about starting something new, as the only diet I've ever really "understood" was Cambridge. But I feel I now need to start a new chapter and leave the old behind...
Sorry this has turned into a long post, but I would really value your thoughts - positive or negative, your advice, etc.
Thanks in advance,
Nxx
