I want to be fitter again
When i joined SW I thought, OK this is the way I am going to eat for life but i was wrong. It made me start wondering what was the cause of people falling off the wagon when we all say SW is easy only having to restart again.
For me I had four reasons
1) I love the social aspect of eating out but get so disheartened when the only thing on the menu I can eat is salad where I can truly know the syn values the rest becomes guess work or worse you order plain pasta and it is dripping in fat
2)I love eating healthily but all my favourite health foods such as smoked mackerel, avocados, nuts, wholemeal granary bread, olive oil, olives, pinenuts and pumpkin seeds or the orange i use in my casserole have to be sinned whereas junk food such as alpen lights/mug shots are free or a healthy extra. I missed those foods so I abandoned ship.
3) my daughter is allergic to tomatoes and so many of the recipes use them
4) Whenever I had more than 7 syns I gained weight
What was your reason for stopping and then restarting
