So I have been to Slimming World before - twice in fact. Both times I left group because I felt that I just wasn't sticking to the plan as well as I should have been and that 80% of the people in group must have been doing the same... because they were all getting similar results. But everyone would make out as though they'd been 100% on plan all week and blamed the plan each time.
I found out in November that I am pregnant - now am 17 weeks (due in July) - and I feel like since early December my diet has just been shocking. I work at McDonalds too and so every break time I will have a meal...and often dessert...and sometimes in the morning I'll buy a sausage and egg muffin meal too. This started because I had terrible morning sickness from 6 weeks til 16 weeks and so first thing in the morning I had to have something bready before I could drink anything or start my day. Otherwise the nausea would strike, or even worse the sickness, and it would linger all day. I still feel as though I need this in a morning but if I don't I don't get sickness so much - just nausea.
I have been really missing Slimming World lately as I've started to feel like my bready diet is starting to make me feel ill and I know it is not good for the baby. So I am going to give Slimming World a go again - this time from home. I know the plan well and just might need to check up some of the syns. While I am currently over 17 stone (ouch) and have a BMI which makes me classed as Obese I don't have a weight loss goal. I don't intend to lose weight through my pregnancy, just eat healthier. And if I do find that my weight begins to go down dramatically then I think I'll just make some subtle changes (like healthy extras/syns) to ensure the baby is still getting everything it needs.
So I start from now - lunchtime. I am having some leftover spaghetti from tea last night which has chicken, peppers, sweetcorn, mushrooms, onion and passata in - and I've microwaved that with my healthy extra of cheese on top. Yum! I also have a pack of seafood sticks on standby in the fridge in case I get peckish before teatime. I tend to be bad and pick when I'm at home all day...
Wish me luck!!
