I know this sounds really strange, but hear me out and tell me what you think?
I did lose 3 stone last year on my own and with the help of this site by calorie counting and exercise. Since then a lot has happened in my life and I have been unwell and have not been very active so I am heaping the weight back on:cry: I know I can lose the weight again, but I am a bit of a competitive person and need a really good competition to lose the weight, last year I did it so well as I was competing with a pal. This time I don't have anyone to compete with, the need to lose weight is not enough for me to do it, sad as that sounds, its just how my mind works.
My plan is to go to SW classes to get weighed and stay to class, but follow my own weight loss programme, which consists of cc. By going to be weighed publicly I know I will stay on track, as I certainly won't want to be the one standing there with no weight loss. I do take a bit of advice from SW and I do follow some of the recipes, but for me personally, SW is not good for me as it allows me to eat too much free food, which doesn't retrain my mind about the relationship I have with food. The only other weight loss class in my area in WW and the class is huge.
Do you think I am being really bad going to SW for the weigh in and support but not following the SW plan? Should I be honest with the SW consultant and let her know I won't be strictly following the plan, but more adapting it into my cc?
Thanks xx
