Blaze said:I'm glad I've found this thread. I don't have M.E, I have breast cancer and I'm currently going through chemotherapy. The fatigue is similar, I'm told.
My head hasn't really been in the right place so I've been half-heartedly following the plan over the last few months and telling myself it's ok to eat what I want (loads of syns, basically), but about a week ago, something just 'clicked' in my brain and I've been 100% on plan for the past week.
My consultant said I'm fine to follow SW as it's healthy eating and it's actually good for me as long as I make sure I'm getting everything I need nutrition-wise, which I am.
Hugs to everyone who needs them - we can do this. :gen126:

Sorry to hear that your'e both feeling rough at the moment...this illness is a bloomin pain in the neck..literally
In answer to your question Daisy, i have had M.E. and Fibro since 2005 after a virus and that was that basically, its only in the last few months that ive learnt to accept it because im a stubborn mule who doesnt do well with change and setbacks. I have two children (both boys) and a fab hubby who is a great help (unless football is on!).
I have been going to Slimming World with a good friend who is not to be messed with! She is the most proactive person i have EVER met (not sure if this is a helpful having M.E.??) and really encourages me if im struggling.
As you will both know however, its really hard explaining to other people how its hard to prepare meals and plan efficiently to get the best out of slimming world.
Im back to using a food diary so i know exactly what im eating, and ive decided that if i want this to work, ive got to stop the all or nothing attitude. And if i have had a bad day or a bad week, just pick myself up as quicky as i can and see how i get on from there, i suppose im trying to be realistic and not overwhelmed with it becuase its not easy is it?
I went to weigh in last night and have put 3 pounds on that i have lost so im fired up (for now!) to get back on track and on plan...I really hope we can keep this thread going and support each other im sure it will really help us. Keep posting!
