Who does SS+ and who does SS?

[YumyMumy]

At the moment Im SSing, Im to scared to eat food!! Was just wondering how people coped eating a small meal every night? Do you find it harder than SS at all? thanks

I've been told I'm not allowed to do SS until my bmi is below 30.

who told you that? that seems odd...i started on SS 6 weeks ago and i was BMI 48!!! xxx

I think you can only start on SS if your BMI is below a certain point, if your doc has not signed the forms..

Anyway, I do SS, but if I really struggle on any particular day I'll have an extra pack or a meal from AAM, it's just a coping mechanism and as I get more used to it I'm doing more SS but it's nice to know if you're struggling you can have something rather than blowing it completely..

I do a mixture of ss and ss+ as and when it suits my lifestyle - school days I usually ss+ but weekends ss - but not rigid to the days.
I find being able to eat a little meal helps socially - for example we go out for lunch every friday - I order a chicken and mango salad - no mango, no crutons with balsamic dressing - and give my friend the tomatoes an peppers - leaving me with a legal meal!!!!
Also because my job is reasonably active I get exhausted some days and being able to have a tiny amount of chicken and veg makes it easier.
I have to watch portion sizes though as they can creep up x

I tend to mix to suit as well so I work 10 hours on Mondays which is hell in itself, i like to get home bath, black coffee, tv and peanut bar chopped up, i feel like im having a treat, so i do tend to be really hungry during the day so i will go to the canteen order a small side salad, bit of chicken lettace and cucumber eat that and feel a lot better usually i try to ss x

I didn't think you could SS with a BMI above 40? Or is that you need a GP's sig with a BMI above 40.... All these rules, gets bloody confusing at times. lol

i had to get doc's signature as i was BMI 48 x i think the rule is signature over 40.
