I'm Doing This For Me, Because I'm Worth It

Not open for further replies.
I am treating me and my family to going to Disneyland on May first and we will be eating at the Pirates of the Caribein and it has always been a dream of mine to eat at that restaurant. We are going to have so much fun. Only us four girls, no boys allowed.
 
I'm taking a prescribed diet pill to help me lose weight. Depending on how much I lose in this month, will matter as to if I continue on it. I'm not sure it is helping. It stops fat from absorbing but I don't eat a lot of high fat stuff. Not sure the gastro effects are worth it if I don't lose weight(or much). Continuing to eat a decent diet. Not perfect, but decent. Still have to get the energy to exercise. Which I may get if I actually exercise. Such a catch 22.
 
Long while since I posted here. Although my weight hasn't gone up, it hasn't dropped either. I know my health is at risk so yesterday I did something I've never done before. I joined Slimming World.

I know the lady who runs the group. So at about 3.00pm yesterday I decided to contact her and went to my first meeting last night. Talk about affirmative action. 2.5 hours between the thought entering my head to walking into the meeting.

I was so nervous, but everyone was so friendly and I knew a couple of members. It was like having coffee with friends.

So I will keep you updated.
 
Our group leader has a closed facebook page just for her members. They are all so supportive of one another and me. I asked a question about meds and weight loss (I rattle as I walk) and they were so open in their replies. A number on citalopram for various reasons although one has PTSD.

Day 2 and going well. I am going to Crafty Caths house on Sunday. I will offer to take soup for lunch so I won't go to far off track although we do like a tipple together. Moderation is the key.
