Hi everyone,
I say everyone, I hope at least someone actually reads this, ha! I'm new to minimins, I've just joined after weeks of googling slimming world syn values and this forum always answering my calls for help!
I'm not really sure on how everything works, but I've just googled it (again - google is my crutch!) and I've briefly read that you need to post in order to be able to make a profile?
So here it goes,
As I've mentioned I am doing slimming world, I'm doing it from home at the moment and have the books for the extra easy plan (that I bought off eBay). I've been at it hard for 5 weeks now and have lost 11.5lbs
I've got to grips with the basics of slimming world but the thing I'm struggling with is not feeling guilty for using syns my brain just won't stop telling me that I can't possibly eat the things I crave on a diet and if I do I should be punished by the diet gods! and also snacking - at the moment I'm mainly snacking on fruit and muller light yoghurt (the dark chocolate variety is my absolute favourite) while I love it, it's kinda monotonous and I'd love to find other food to keep me going through the day.
I decided that I need to try to take back control of my life after a year of ill health and being in constant pain I've recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, which is an invisible condition, so it can make it quite hard to explain to people that even though I don't look sick, I am. I'm trying to have a positive outlook on life and start to enjoy it again after a year of basically hating my body and pitying myself. I've started doing yoga (again, just from home...again, eBay to the rescue!) although it's often hard for me to move because of the widespread pain I'm slowly trying to build up my strength and love for exercise again! Over the past year I've put on weight from medication and just not being able to physically move much. It sucked. But I've recently turned 27 and have promised myself that 2015 is going to be a lot better than 2014 was, so here's to a year of positive changes, one step at a time!
I'm after all the help I can get really, slimming world goddess' (and gods) of minimins, I'm at your beck and call.
Looking forward to exploring the sure more and finding good threads to read,
Thanks,
Alison
