OK so let's get the numbers out of the way. I started at 16 stone 5lb with a BMI of 31.9 in September. I'm now 12 stone 8lb with a BMI of 24.5. I've lost almost 4 stone and my target is 8lb away.
I had hoped to get to target by January. Then I moved it to February and now it's March. I'm staying the same most weeks, occasionally putting on a pound, occasionally loosing a pound. I've stopped going to class.
I'm not sticking to the plan. I probably do so five days a week and then sod it two days per week.
And I'm find it really tough. I just am absolutely sick and tired of being on a diet. And it feels like a diet. It doesn't feel like a 'healthy eating plan' or a 'way of eating for life' or any of the things that other Slimming World members say. I feel like I could stick to this way of eating ok... and I'm comforted by the fact that if I did then my weight would stay the same. I'm fine sticking to SW five days per week... but I just can't seem to do it seven days per week.
I REALLY want this last 8lb to come off. I know that sounds a little silly given I've lost 4 stone already, but I'm not happy with my body shape yet and I've been so focussed on hitting target that I'll be annoyed with myself if I don't do it.
I know HOW to do it. I know I could have a Success Express day or two, I know I need to introduce more speed foods and I know I need to stick to it all the time rather than keep having a day or two off.
But it seems much more difficult now. I've started seeing someone and that involves meals and bottles of wine and trips to the cinema (yes I know it's Valentine's Day and I shouldn't be posting here, but the new fella has an anti-social job and is away until Monday).
So, here's my question. How do I get this last 8lb off? I'm really looking forward to once it's gone and then I feel I could maintain, but what do I do in the meantime? My weight is now exactly the same as it was a month ago. I don't want to be in the same situation come mid March.
Any advice gratefully received!
