Hi! I'm new to this website and I am in need of some advice from all you weight loss experts 
I'm an 18 year old girl, I weigh around 170lbs and I'm 5ft5in. I am a bit of a health freak, striving to be the healthiest I can be through clean eating and exercising, however I do have a binge eating disorder, which sets me back a lot. I really want to lose weight and tone up, ideally to 130lbs, however if I weighed more but felt great in my clothes then I wouldn't mind.
I'm contemplating whether to do Slimming World and assessing the pros and cons and how well I can adjust it to my life. In fact, everything seems to fit in apart from one aspect, which I need advice on. I recognize that SW focuses more on low fat foods, which means I will have to cut down on my nut, avocados, 90% dark chocolate etc because I eat them all every day and with SW I know i would only be able to have maybe 1 of the choices. I also eat a lot of syned foods everyday, which are healthy like the ones I just mentioned, plus millet grain bread, homemade peanut butter and sometimes protein powder.
I think SW will be good to manage my BED because I will feel accountable and focused by going to a group each week. I just feel like I need to change, but I feel like I will miss my high fat health foods. What should I do? Can I still lose the weight successfully?
Any help would be great thank you, sorry if this made no sense!
