yep...that's so true....and good for you on the exercise...i just don't...no point in lying....i just don't! lol. i know it would help...but i aint committing to anything...cos i know it wouldn't happen hehe (maybe one day tho??)
i've had comments in the last week or 2 which has been good
but i've been there before...lost a ton of weight then gradually over the years it's gone back on.
there's not a "diet" i've not tried....i lost 2 stone on ww then spent a year doing it, starving all the time and paying money to end up gaining every 2nd week!
it was great at first cos it let me eat the foods i usually ate...but then as i lost weight and my points went down, i was still eating the food, pointing in my goodies but then starving the rest of the time cos i just wouldn't go over my allowance!
when i joined sw (a few weeks after leaving ww) i was almost a stone heavier than i had been at the beginning of that year...what a waste of money paying every week lol!
i think the reason i've been able to be 100% on this is cos i don't feel like i've missed out. i've just been clever about what i have (ie sw ferrero rochers instead of something else etc) and to be honest, going from some sh1tty ww ding meal for dinner to burger, sw chips etc has been fab!
my OH is loving it too lol.
i've only told a few people i'm doing it...at first i didn't say cos i wasn't sure if i'd manage to stay on it so didn't want to end up being like...awww, i'm off that now...and no one's really asked! the few that have i've been like yeah, i cancelled my ww and lost a stone and a half lol. but i'm not lying when i say i've stopped eating processed foods and that i'm cooking from scratch....cos i am!
for me, planning is definitely my key cos if i didnt plan and cook in advance, i think that's when it would go wrong...god knows what i'd eat cos you definitely need to be ahead of the game otherwise you'd plough through syns big time eh! x
I never thought I'd get into exercise, and certainly never thought I'd become one of those people who misses it on rest days, but it has finally happened to me! Again something just clicked and I'm not really sure what, although the thought of getting in a bikini in Ibiza in July is certainly a motivator!
I'm the same with not really telling many people about going to SW - my close friends know, especially as a few of them are fellow SW-ers, but I don't really shout about it, as I put enough pressure on myself to succeed (and am harsh enough on myself when I fail), so I don't need anyone else compounding that! Plus, SW is just healthy eating rather than a diet, so nobody needs to know - I've just moved desks and the lady next to me is fascinated by the variety in my daily fruit box but doesn't see me as being on a diet I feel so much better for steering clear of the processed foods, the only things I have on hand are Pasta n Sauces for those evenings when I get home too late to cook, or just really haven't got the energy for it for whatever reason, but I couldn't eat them too often, I'd get very bored! I love cooking so a new SW recipe book feels like a treat, I love creating new things too
Planning's definitely key, it's time for me to sit down and plan this week's menu actually so I can get my food shop done in the morning, although can't buy in too much as need to keep my fridge empty in preparation for the baby shower I'm hosting on Sunday!! Which will really be a challenge to stay on plan through! I'm allowing myself one slice of cake, but will be steering clear of all other naughties!! x
