Hi everyone. i would really appreciate some advice as im really not sure what the best thing to do is.
I have been doing ss for about 5 weeks but this last week i did an SS+ week as ive been feeling really low and have been really struggling to keep focused. I have had a much better week because of doing SS+ but i still dont know how much longer i can go on without going off the rails and ruining all my hard work.:sigh:
I am currently 10 lbs away from goal which would be my BMI 25 (although its WI in the morning so im not sure what i'll have lost by then). Anyway, my CDC says that once i reach BMI 25 i can start moving up the plans and doing Maintenance. The thing is, i am really in danger of just finishing early (like i did last time) and not doing re-feeding and things properly.
And so, what i was thinking of doing is asking her if i can start going up the plans now (as i know it takes a number of weeks) and hopefully getting to goal that way (albeit a bit slower)
then, i was going to go back to Slimming World to lose maybe another half a stone or so. The thing about slimming world is that the plan really suits me and i can lose weight (slowly) but also the continued group motivation will really help me in the long run as i will still go to group and stay on the plan even when i do get to my target.
i hope this all makes sense. i know that CD is fantastic and gives quick results but i dont want to blow things by just giving up now (and im really feeling that way). i want to do the whole maintence thing early and go to SW to finish off the last few pounds. its not like i have loads left to lose and im not being dillusional thinking i can lose x-amount of stone on my own (cos i know i cant).
i really really hope that im making sense!
so, do you think it would be wise to start maintenance early or risk falling off the wagon alltogether?
what a dilemma!!
(and many thanks for any suggestions. they are most welcome)
