Hi! If you find talking difficult, you could ask the SW counsellor for your group not to talk to you in group; that way you can still have that incentive of going and getting weighed, of listening to what others are doing, and seeing other people going through the same kinds of things that you are. Its just a thought. I find that the "image therapy" part is the most helpful bit. Well, not so much so in my current group but certainly the first time I went to slimming world, in my first group I don't think I would have stuck to it without the group members supporting each other (and therefore me), and I don't think I'd ha e developed the confidence to support other people meaningfully either.
