I wanted to start a thread with all the positive points of slimming world.... sometimes when we are down, not having losses or a bad week and even struggling to keep going and wanting some motivation - it sometimes helps for a boost remembering the positive points to slimming world.
So i thought a thread full of people's positive points and nice bits to slimming world might help keep motivation at the time when we need it....
I shall start with some points and feel free to add to it....
1) It clearly works.... so many people loose weight and my weight loss total is 5 Stone 7 Pounds!
2) Free foods..... Yes there are such things that you can eat till you feel satisfied.... and then statisify yourself later as much as you like
3) You have 15 syns per day for anything you like! A Posh sauce, bit of a takeaway or some chocolate!
4) Using free foods and having restrictions, as much as it can be frustrating, it can be fun to come up with new ways of enjoying your food and treats in different ways.... Weetabix muffins with smarties or rolos in them - hell yeah 2 syn treat!
5) You aren't alone.... there are people doing it with you and everyone, when you talk to them, have off days, bad weeks, gains, achievements and successes!
6) I can honestly say nearly 1 and half years in i am still finding new things, new people, new ideas, new recipes - it can have its boring moments but there is a lot to keep you going!
7) There are now convenience frozen ready meals. As much i may have criticised parts of them (in other threads) they are handy to have and pretty decent to say its frozen ready meals - they are pretty much the best going AND ARE SYN FREE!
8) There are groups face to face, twitter feeds and groups - facebook feeds and groups and even on this site there is so much support and ideas. There is so much support for you no matter where you go
9) You can have a fry up (with some sensible substitutes of course) but you can have a fry up!!!!
10) You shouldn't ever deprive yourself or feel really hungry - if you are, you aren't doing it right!!!!
There's a couple of suggestions of the positive points i can think of, i really hope people can use these to remember and keep on when times aren't quite there. I will keep adding to it and encourage everyone to list positives below too....
