Hi!
I have lost weight on slimming world before, nearly 2 stone! Unfortunately, I piled it all back on last year I didn't have a great year last year and I am very much an emotional eater so I ate my way through it. Then every time I decided I was ready to start losing again, something else rubbish would happen and I would continue eating. I have just got to a point where I feel ready to start slimming world again, and I was hoping for some moral support from other slimming world people as I don't intend to go to group! (Probably really controversial but I lost more weight when I gave up going to groups last time!).
A little about me. I am 5ft tall and I currently weight 11.4 stone, which is only 1 pound off what I was when I started slimming world last time! That puts my BMI at 30. I am so ashamed I let myself get to this point again. I don't let anyone take pictures of me and I avoid looking in the mirror. I have zero self esteem and I really want to make a permanent change. I am in a much better headspace now and I am much better at recognising when I am feeling low so I am not eating as much.
I will be following slimming world. I will be trying to only have carbs once a day as I tend to get really sluggish when I eat too many, and I won't be synning things like full fat mayo or greek yoghurt. I will just be using them instead of the light stuff as I cannot bear the light stuff. I know that's not what you are supposed to do, but I think one of the reasons I gave up was because I hated the thought of living on low-fat stuff for the rest of my life. & I also worry about what ingredients they use in the lighter stuff. I think whatever they are taking out of the full fat stuff, they are replacing with chemicals in the lighter stuff, so this will be my approach.
I have also joined the gym! I already walk loads due to having many, many dogs. So I am just going to move more as I have just started an office job so I really need to make sure I am keeping active, my previous job meant I was on my feet all day so its a big change!
I am hoping to get a few of us on here supporting each other through our weight loss journey!
What are your stories and what are you hoping to achieve? Or what have you already achieved??
