So I am a serial WW and whilst it was great at first (lost 3.5 stone the first time really easily), subsequent attempts have become harder and harder. Over the years I have become obsessed with points and turned into an emtional (and "mindless") eater.
So I want to try Slimming world (well I have tried it before - never lasted very long and always seem to count still). But I am so bothered about the lack of portion control (lets face it, I have weighed everything for the last 10 years), very bothered about breakfasts ( I am used to a big (50g) bowl of porridge every day as I have to have it at 6am and am not one for cooked brekkie at this time) and am basically scared that it won't work.
I want to get back into eating when I am hungry and eating healthily (which for years I did until I suffered depression and more recently anxiety/stress) and am thinking that SW is the way to go.
I want to lose 2.5 stone and I want to go on holiday in september having lost it - am I being unreasonable?
I see so many people do so well, but have no faith in my ability to lose weight anymore - am hoping that by doing something which isn't counting points, it may give my body a shake up.
Sorry, have gone on abit - thanks for any wise words / encouragement.
