Heya all,
Sorry just a little rant. :S
My consultant insists on people setting a weight loss target for the following week. I said no last week, which I was allowed to do because it was only my second meeting but she was quite forceful in her insistance that I will set weekly targets in the future. I don't want to do that though, I have an obsessive personality and if I start setting weekly targets then this whole thing will stop being a sustainable lifestyle change and become an unhealthy weight loss obsession where I start yoyoing between starving myself and binging before quitting altogether.
My consultant thinks because it works for some people it will work for everyone but she doesn't know me or have any clue about how my mind is wired and if she keeps it up,. I know I'm going to end up leaving the group.
I don't want to leave because I like the SW plan and going to the meetings because it's completely changing the way I live. I'm eating vegetables that I've never liked by finding ways of making them palletable just because they're superfree. I've stopped drinking full fat fizzy pop and I don't eat anywhere near as much chocolate all all because of syns. When I go to my fave chinese takeaway I get one of the lower syn options with steam boiled rice instead of my normal sweet and sour chicken balls with fried rice! I get my five a day easily every day... I used to get maybe 5 a week at a push!
I don't want to lose all of that because of a pushy consultant who means well but doesn't get that not everyone can fit the mould. This consultant runs all of the local SW groups and I don't want to switch to another plan.
/End of rant
Anyway, thanks for reading. Any ideas?
