Welcome to my new blog
It’s time for me to spill the beans on my latest adventure: reigniting my weight loss journey! As a Slimming World consultants best friend. I’ve already said farewell to a whopping 4 stone and 7 pounds. My journey started when I tipped the scales at a mighty 17 stone and 12 pounds and then halted. But hold on, there’s a bit of a twist!
With my return to the Slimming World group, alongside my friend who’s an absolute Slimming World aficionado, I restarted my journey. I also agreed to help her with her own group. This shared commitment gave me the opportunity to reignite my weight loss journey and strive towards achieving my ultimate goal. Agreeing to join the social team, solidified my dedication to her and my goal. Over the course of the past ten months, my weight had stealthily crept up by half a stone, serving as a motivating factor in my re-entry into the world of Slimming World.
OK, I admit it: I’m a tad peeved, maybe a little devastated and disappointed in myself. Truth be told, I haven’t been quite the poster child for the Slimming World plan in the last few months. Life’s been a whirlwind, and I’ve been all over the place with work, family and just, well life.
Excuses, I have them even as a Slimming World Consultant Friend
Excuses? I’ve got a few up my sleeve, from keeping up with my business, creating websites and various other reasons I could throw into the mix to justify my slip-ups. However, if I am honest, I have made a few bad choices and know it. The beauty of Slimming World is that all eating decisions are down to you. What you eat and the results you get.
My fear was that I have been advocating the importance of creating new weight-loss habits. And here I was, putting on weight. I think some of my new habits may have fallen by the wayside. So, have I really practiced what I preach? To some extent, yes! I’ve managed to incorporate some fantastic habits into my life. For instance, I’ve become a breakfast enthusiast, mastered the art of sitting down to eat every day, and amped up my fruit intake while ditching those sneaky liquid calories.
But some old habits from my pre-Slimming World days have crept back. The sneakiest culprits? chocolate and biscuits, of course! It’s like I’ve entered a race to finish the entire packet, and then, astonishingly, I’ll reach for more even when I’m stuffed. I even caught myself polishing off a bag of crisps just because I’d opened the packet. A habit I thought I had replaced!
After giving myself a stern talking-to (yes, I can be pretty persuasive), I decided it was high time to re-join Slimming World. With my friends as my consultant and coach I know there will some ups and down. Some fun and a few tears. For the next six weeks, I’ve set my sights on shedding those 10 pounds in weight, and I’m bringing you along for the ride with this blog to track my progress.
