Well hello there fellow dieters!
I have been dieting for over two years now, I am sure that to many that may seem like a short period of time, yet others have already met their goal, so I guess I'm a little in the middle, but hey, we're still all on the same boat! I thought that with all the hassle it is and how hard it can be to start a blog about my current journey (and believe you me, I have been on a few!). Name a diet and I have probably tried it, short term are okay, but I finally agree that you need to be patient and quick fixes don't work :cry:. So over the many I have tried, the one I am most suited to is Slimming World. I started this (again) 4 weeks ago.
Now I would love to tell you all that it has been a breeze and I have lost every week since I started, but alas, no, I gained on my first week, lost the next two weeks and then gained last week. At last weeks WI, I was 1/2lb heavier than when I started 4 weeks ago :sigh:! But I'm still plodding along, taking advice from Nemo's Dory and "just keep swimming". Try each week, and I think this week I have been very good. You see the issue with me is that I'm usually so busy that I miss breakfast, and then lunch, and then by dinner time I am famished, and overeat (not all good food either!)
:17729:
So I have made time to eat, so I am not so hungry, I feel like I have eaten a lot, which is not comfortable for me diet wise as I have had quite a fear of what is correct for me to eat (thanks previous diets for the confusion, how we love the low carbs, no high carbs but wholegrain, no low fat, sorry I meant low calorie - aarrgghh! ), but I will get there, and hopefully you all will have a little trip on my boat, and we can take this journey together! Good luck and love to all!
WI tonight - wish me luck!
