Hello!
I haven’t followed a diet for such a long time thanks to the stress of moving 200 miles away from home for university. As a result of too much snacking during studying, of having to cook for myself all the time, of too much alcohol and takeaways during socialising with new friends, I put on a whopping 2 stone in just 4 months!
I am only just starting to notice that my clothes are a bit tight, but other than that my newfound 2 stone hasn’t made any difference in how I look, as far as I can tell. No one has said anything about the weight i’ve put on, and so I haven’t bothered to do anything about it. But now that it’s a new year, new start and all that, I’ve decided to shift the weight again. But this time i’ve got an extra 2 stone to get rid of too :(
Last year I did SlimFast and lost about a stone in 2 months. I enjoyed SlimFast and even got my boyfriend to lose about half a stone on it, but now because I’m a student and not working, I think it’d be too difficult to carry on buying the stupidly expensive SlimFast powders. And it’s awkward in social situations to just be drinking a shake.
So, spurred on by a friend dropping 3 dress sizes in as many months, I’ve decided to give Slimming World a go. The only thing is that I can’t quite afford to go to the weekly meetings, so I’m going it alone with the help of the internet. This doesn’t feel like a diet, this feels like making a permanent change. I’ve never eaten so many vegetables or cooked so much from scratch, and I am absolutely loving it, so lets see how this goes :)
