Hi all, I don't post that much but I've been really struggling at the moment. The way SW works for me is to be strict e.g. no alcohol or chocolate, cakes etc. I promised myself I would do it this way until I reached my target and then introduce these things back in. I am an all or nothing girl I cant have just one chocolate bar etc. Where I went wrong was to start allowing myself treats and basically it got out of hand and I've been struggling for a month and a half ish. I even got voted my groups woman of the year but I feel like I should give it back, like I don't deserve it. Its like I've gone on self destruct and I m so scared Ill carry on and put all my weight back on. When I first did SW 3 years ago I lost 2st 9.5lb and I started to think "I can handle a treat" but it got out of hand and I went on self destruct, put all my weight back on and more, taking me to my highest ever.
How do you stop the cycle happening again???
I feel like I've blown everything and I might as well give up now. I feel like Ill never get to my target, it just feels so far away. I put on 4lb a month and a half ago then got back on it for a couple of weeks then started messing around again. I keep saying "one more day to get it out of my system". But I know from experience that one more day is never enough, you have to nip it in the bud now. I keep thinking to myself "how did I get my head into the game ?" "How did I resist the cravings so that they didn't bother me too much?" At the moment the cravings for junk are so big I just keep giving in. Also I just i'm not enjoying the SW food at the moment, everything I make or think of making is just boring. I wanted to switch to WW for a bit but my DH really wants me to stick to SW. I feel abit trapped in SW TBH. My DH wants me to stick to SW because I have messed around dieting for 10yrs and im finally getting somewhere and he is scared if I try something else, it wont work and I definately will put everything back on. I totally understand this I can see where hes coming from but I just cant get it out of my head that I need a change. But I dont know if its such a good idea.
Being strict works for me, I just cant use my syns on treat food. Ill do SW alternatives, but eating the real deal I just cannot do with self control. I want to get back to how I did it to get this far. I need to get strict. Any tips on how I can get my head back in the game? Or do I need to allow myself treats within syns? Have I been too strict taht I've cracked? I just dont know what to do!
Sorry for the long post but I really felt I needed to post as sometimes it's hard to say how you really feel and asking for help is hard as you feel like your a failure. I need help, I need to learn how to not let this happen again!
Thanks in advance
