Okay, so I'm new to this website and will be new to slimming world. I didn't know where to post this so i apologise in advance!
I am going to be joining a slimming world club this week. I keep telling myself that I might not, but I have to! I'm not sure how I feel about it. I just have a feeling that most people will be bigger than me, but kinda hope thats not the case I don't want some weird looks!!
I'm currently 23. When i was 12 i weighed in at 11stone and I looked like a rather large blob of a child. I absolutely hated myself. In the space of three months with determination from myself and my mother I managed to lose 2 stone with no club support. Rather quick loss - but i cut out crisps, chocolate and cake...!
Now, I am generally around about 10 st / 10 st and a half and its bugging me. I'm about 5 ft 5 so i dont exactly look huge and my BMI is just in the healthy weight range (or so i believe) but its the fact that I was once 9 st (and did go below) yet in the last couple of years I've just grown. Its confidence I lack. I go on the scales everytime I go to the bathroom which I know is really bad, really obsessive, but I can't help myself - If my weight has gone up I get miserable and vice versa.
A friend of mine is starting weight watchers but I've heard that you literally starve on a WW diet. I LOVE food. Lol. Hence why I'm joining slimming world where I hope I can eat enough
What I'm trying to ask is - Does anyone have any advice... and am I going to look stupid walking into a slimming world club when some people would probably wish for my figure? I wouldnt be doing this if i thought i could maintain my own weight but it seems ever increasing...

(P.S. I do have a flabby bum, fat thighs and a horrible wobbly belly....!)
