Hi everyone,
I joined this site back in the summer when I decided (unsuccessfully) to try and lose some weight. Since then I estimate I have put on about 1 stone. I was always around the 9.5 - 10 stone mark back in my early 20s, but for about 4 years have been unable to weigh myself, the very thought makes me feel physically sick! But I wouldn't be surprised to be tipping the scales at around 13.5 now (but really, have NO idea)!
What I do know is that I can't fit into any of my clothes right now, and as I work primarily from home tend to avoid the issue my staying mostly in PJs and dressing gowns (sad, I know... but I can't face going out and buying monstrous clothes and nor can I face trying to squeeze and squish all my disgusting bulk into my old size 12 clothes!
So I contacted a local Cambridge diet counsellor who I am meeting on Wednesday morning, and I am really, really incredible excited. I wonder if any of you can give me an idea of what to expect? Obviously I am trying to mentally prepare myself for stepping on the scales in case she needs me to, but I think I'll be okay as long as I don't have to look and she can just write it down and keep it to herself!
I would really prefer to SS for the first few weeks if possible, as I am rubbish at sticking to diets where I can eat "a sensible meal in the evenings"... I always tend to overdo it so would prefer to have that option taken away from me to begin with whilst I am learning the plan and also hopefully beginning to see some results!
What usually happens at the meetings with counsellors? Will she provide all the food pack things, or do I have to order them separately and wait for them to arrive? Is there anything I should be aware of before hand? I am a strict vegetarian and haven't really tried many diets in the past.
Thanks in advance for any advice
