This Forum is fantastic. I've been lurking for about a week since I decided to restart SW, but figured I should bite the bullet and post! I lost a couple of stone a few years ago with Slimming World then not so much fell as leaped off the wagon into laziness and a vat of junk food.
I realised that I need to view it as a complete change in habits, not just a means to an end. I also had a slight nudge from my boyfriend. After informing him that I think I would quite like babies in about 2 years, he agreed but looked sheepish. When I pushed the point he said (firstly that he loved me and please don't take this the wrong way but) he thought it would be a good idea for me to lose some weight as he was concerned about problems and complications. He reminded me that I had lost weight before and could do it again and that he would be supportive of me and when we moved back in together in May (We've lived together before but my job forced a move apart) he'd do the slimming world diet with me.
Sorry, bit of a babble but he kind of said it in a rushed way like he expected me to be upset and hit him. Thankfully I understood that in the long run he's just looking out for me. What he didn't know is that I think subconsciously I had already realised I needed to change as I had bought and stashed away the SW Magazine for the New Year.
So I restarted on January 3rd, I live in Birmingham City Centre and struggled to find a group that wasn't a trek so I'm going it alone... hence why I think this forum is fantastic as I think I'm going to need the support until May when I move and can more easily get to a group. I stick to a mixture of EE and Green days as I have never ever ever managed a red day, I'm not a massive meat eater and usually get such a craving for potato or pasta halfway through the day that I end up switching back to EE.
It's a Star week so it maybe wasn't the best planning but we'll see how I've done come tomorrow night. I certainly wasn't going to put it off any longer
Oops, sorry for being a mega rambler but I'm suddenly a little gung ho about my journey and the fact I might not be totally on my own for the first few months as I thought
