I joined SW (for the umptenth time!) in September 2011 weighing 18stone 2lb. I have managed to only lose 2 stone in this time. I do have a busy social life at times and flit between exercise.
My sister joined in March 2012 and is 1/2 lb off her 3 stone award. She is constantly being told how good she looks, no one notices I have lost any!! I am really pleased for her but am so upset and fed up for myself. I stick to plan, I know it inside out. I eat a variety of foods and constantly graze on fruit and veg.
Take this week for eg, going out with my sister last weekend, we both drank a bottle of wine each, ate rich foods and the following day ate a curry. I gained 1/2 lb even tho I got straight back onto plan on Sunday. My sister has posted on facebook this am she has lost 3lb. She averages weight loss of 1 1/2-2lb every week. My pattern is lose one week and then gain the next. I do have problems with my bowl movements which the doc is treating me for ibs but I am pretty certain it isn't this. Any other things I could try maybe?
I am so ready to throw in the towel, I told my consultant on Thursday that I perhaps should give up as I may aswell through my money down the drain with the results I am getting. I have gained 1/2 lb the last 3 weeks despite doing no exercise (I usually gain when I exercise) and only going off plan last weekend. She is bewildered as seeing my food diaries, she cannot understand it either.
My dh is urging me to do the Cambridge diet which I had great results with a few years ago and I am so tempted. I just cannot shrug tho this feeling of jealousy for my sister and feeling so low about my diet and whats the point attitude. I am crying typing this, I feel so low!!
Thanks for reading and if you could reply, I would be grateful!
