Slimming World | A step in the right direction!
The fact that I'm almost always on some sort of diet/healthy eating kick/doing something to try and make myself happier about my weight and body is almost a bore I mention it that much. That's not going to change! At the start of March (ish) I decided to join Slimming World (again).
I did set myself a goal of posting something monthly about how I was doing but as usual that didn't happen. I started a first post and didn't even end up finishing writing that!
So let's try that all again. I've been a member for nearly four months. I've not lost what I would have liked to in that amount of time however I cannot complain as currently I am over a stone lighter than when I began. I've not missed out on events and meals out and I'm trying not to treat it all as seriously as some people. Not because I don't want to lose the weight - just because there's more to life and I'd rather lose the weight slowly and make this a part of my life.
I've had a few gains, mostly small ones...but eating out and socialising with my friends over food is a big part of my life and what I do so to me that's not a surprise and nothing I'll ever lose sleep over.
I am hoping in the next few weeks I can push on a bit and would like my 1.5 stone award, my club 10 (10% of your body weight) and my 2 stone award before my birthday. This isn't unreasonable in my eyes I just need to have some really good weeks and I'm sure stepping foot in the gym wouldn't exactly do me any harm too!
Some of the best things about my journey so far has been being able to buy some smaller clothes. Nothing is hanging off me yet - but to be fair I was pushing it with what sizes I was wearing before I began this - but I have tried on a few things from when I was smaller. I wouldn't say they fit me yet but it's definitely getting closer and so it's nice to know I'm well on the way to fitting back into some of the clothes I love from pre uni.
I would definitely recommend slimming world to anyone that wants to shift some weight as it really is something that works and allows for treats too.
