I only started Slimming World a few days ago but I am finding it really hard. I am also on the EE plan!!!!!
So far I have made the following changes:
Having said that I am struggling to stick below 15 syns a day. I have decided to say that instead of 15 a day make it 105 a week, but I cant seem to do that.
I have made so many lifestyle changes already and surely that will help somewhat. I know its not going to be a quick process at these changes, but surely its gonna be something?
After all I am not trying to diet, just change a few things in my lifestyle so it will be better for me. Plus there is no time limit for me, just when it happens, so Ive got nothing to aim for, I just want to be a bit lighter.
The thing that gets me down is that Im hearing how everyone is doing so well with their eating, and how easy it seems to be for everyone else to stick within their syn ranges, well for me its not. :cry:Is it such a bad thing? Its more my evening meals, but Im not able to change much as we eat as a family and we are quite happy with what we eat. Last night it was stir fry, tonight its stew, left over stew tomorrow, We have also got Fish, Mash and mushy peas for one night. Its not like we are eating McDonalds/KFC every night. Actually we hardly have take aways at all.
Basically what I want to know is it worth me doing ANYTHING or should I not bother trying if I cant stick to my syn limit?
Thanks
So far I have made the following changes:
- Instead of having sugar on my cereal I either have chopped banana or no cereal, but fruit and a mullerlight.
- My snacks have changed from crisps and biscuits to Apples and raw carrots.
- Instead of my usual drink of areo bubbles hot chocolate, I now drink green tea with no milk or sweetener.
- I am addicted to coca-cola or pepsi, but I have now swapped these drinks to pepsi max.
- I am trying to have syn free lunches (apart from the spread I am using) However I have swapped my spread from Flora buttery to flora lighter than light spread.
- Me and my husband always used to have a few bottles of lager on a sat night (usually about 5/6), but now we have decided not to anymore.
- Im also making more of an effort to eat my veg, something Ive always not enjoyed doing.
- Also one last thing I have taken up running 3 times a week.
