Hellooooo

Your quite right, serial yo-yoing isn't good for you at all! Firstly i suggest you address the real issue of why you can follow a plan well, but not long term? because without really addressing this issue, so that your able to identify any tell tale signs of when your likley to hit rocky times and quit? .. All diets are meant 'for life' but as youv already said, some are so restrictive.. and that can be difficult. Slimmingworld is a great eating plan to follow, and really is easy. Sure, your not going to wake up a slim jim overnight, but equipped with the right information, a good consultant and group.. and the genuine desire to succeed, you can see those fab results you saw in the magazine.
it's a bit of a learning process.. i discovered my choco-holic side which i wasnt aware of, after years of being a strictly savoury treat-girl.. and that has knocked me back a few times, but its about addressing your weaknesses and working the plan to suit you 100%.. theres so much variety and flexibility, and if you want a treatsized choc, packet of crisps or some extra dip.. you can have it.. all within a dailey syn allowance, which i think is what makes slimmingworld so special, because unlike ww or cd, you wont be running out of points, or your dailey allowance of shakes and bars etc.. because there is just so much 'free food' even after all your syns are spent, and your healthy extras are used.. you can still have massive meals, enjoyable meals that you dont 'count' because thats the joy of free food!
I highly recommened it, if you really want it, you can do it.
