Inspired by some wonderful people I went and rejoined Slimming World tonight. I haven't been for about a year and to be honest I didn't really enjoy it back then. The consultant was brusque, unprofessional, pushy and never responded to requests for help. Looks like her group has since gone out of business.
Anyway, this new group seems ok. There is one mouthy mad American who I find really amusing :) and the consultant seems like a smart lady.
I weighed in at 12.12st which is about 2lb heavier than this time last year and half way between the heaviest and lightest I have been in the last 5 years. People always expect a big loss in the first week but to be quite honest I think that is unlikely for me. First time around I only lost 1/2 a lb the first week and was gutted. It takes me a while to get into it.
The reason I'm doing it right now is twofold: one it encourages better eaying habits - fresh fruit and veg as well as low gi high protein; and two if I look better I will feel better. Both things work on the positive spiral.
I was pretty nervous going to the group and I got the panic wave half way thru (I feel really hot and like I might throw up) that I sometimes get in training/ group presentations but I stuck it out. Even used a calming breathing excercise I read about! So yay me.
