Hi all, I am totally new to the whole forum thong but having had a read through some of the other posts it seems like a great source of inspiration and also support which is not always easy to find from friends and family.
It has been reassuring to read what some others have to say and to realise that there are lots of others out there who have the same issues/concerns/demons.
This is my third attempt at slimming world, I must say I cannot fault the plan simply because there's no excuse to go hungry and it's easy to incorporate into your everyday lifestyle.
So why have I had three attempts? I guess for me I seem to give up once I get close to my first stone. Having tried various other diets this always seems to be the case. I'm not sure what occurs in my brain but I seem to hit a mental block so this time I am vowing to do things differently and succeed.
I am trying desperately not to be so hard on myself when I fall off the wagon and eat something I perhaps shouldn't have, I am eliminating the idea of a treat after class if I have a loss as I find I often eat even although I'm not that hungry and I'm joining this forum in the hope that there will be bucket load of moral support.
So I started back at class last week an lost 5lbs in my first week. I have quite a bit more to lose so here's hoping that this is the start of my weight loss journey.
I weigh in on a Wednesday and this week has been hard due to eating out twice already and being tempted by friends and wine and garlic bread but we will see how things go on Wednesday.......
