I have started to really struggle with SW lately. Mainly its caused by the fact that whilst you're told you can eat what you want, in reality I want to eat mash with my sausages or have more than 28g of mince with my spag bol!
I always knew this was going to be hard for me because I *honestly* didn't eat that unhealthily before joining. My weight was put on through taking IVF medication and immune drugs over the last 3 years.
The only things I do differently on SW is no squash (because I can't stand diet squash), no fruit juice, no more white bread and no more mixing carbs and protein.
I don't eat any more or less fruit and veg because we always ate loads before anyway.
I'm really resenting the fact that SW is pushed as being healthy but I don't see that having say one or two roast potatoes with your roast chicken once a week or fortnight is that unhealthy anyway. It's like they treat carbs as being as unhealthy as sugar and it's starting to annoy me.
I don't like the way on original days peas, sweetcorn and parsnips are seen as unhealthy when they're veg! It's all making me very resentful.
I resent having to eat Muller light yogs for example as a snack because they have aspartme in them which is the worst sweetner ever. Its banned in the US and most other countries because its been found to cause cancer, but when I've run out of fruit in the evenings or syns its really the only sweet thing that's free.
My cupboards look so much more unhealthy now than they did before SW! It's crazy! Diet foods (diet coke, diet yogs) etc aren't good for you. Before SW nothing in the house was unnatural, we didn't eat anything with chemicals in, but now have to, to keep myself sane.
I'd never even cooked chips in the house until SW! We just didn't eat junk food ever. My son is 10 and never eaten chicken nuggets in his life. All our meals were cooked from scratch and healthy.
I'm thinking seriously about switching to another slimming club/plan because I can't see how this is all going to work out for me.
I put 2lbs on last week yet stuck to the plan rigidly as I always do, even my consultant couldn't believe it and she looked at my diet sheet because I was so upset.
I never ate huge portions anyway, so can only attribute the weight loss so far to not eating toast every night and not drinking fruit juice.
Sorry for ranting on but I just don't know what to do. I want to eat main meals how I used to because I don't think/can't believe that having more than 28g of mince (made with organic extra lean mince, tin toms, herbs & mushrooms) with your spag bol is unhealthy!
