So I love
food. I know; who doesn’t right? But no, seriously, I L O V E food. Any food,
at any time. I’m one of those people that eat for pleasure and not because I’m
hungry or because I need it. I can eat anybody under the table. I eat big
portions and most of the time I could have seconds if there were so when I
think about diets, I normally shake my head and try to think about something
else.
That said, it’s no
surprise that in the last few years I’ve put on so much weight and I can’t
blame anybody but me. I’ve gone from a size 12 to a size 18 in the last four or
five years and I must say, I’m starting to really dislike myself so I thought
it’s about time to do something about it.
Last week I
came across a Slimming World leaflet. I heard about it before but always
thought that wasn’t for me. ‘Hello, my name is Montse and I’m a fat cow’. The idea of going into a meeting alone and
talk about my weight terrified me.
I did some
research online and talked to a couple of people who still attending to
meetings weekly and they convinced me. They told me it wasn’t anything like I
thought it’d be and OMG they were right.
I was
feeling a little bit sick when I first entered the building but a lovely woman
asked me if I was new and when I said yes she asked me to join another four or
five people that were starting at the same time as me. That calmed my nerves a
little bit. We all sat down and were explained everything about Slimming World;
The Free Food, Healthy Food, Syns, etc.
By the end
of that chat I was 100% in. We then got given our new books, got weighted and
wrote down our target weight. After that we moved on to the actual meeting and
I am so glad I decided to start this journey! It was very relaxed, people
talked about recipes, presents were given to people who’d done really well this
week, etc.
I must say,
if you’re planning on losing weight, do not be afraid of joining a club. I am
so happy I’ve joined Slimming World and I can’t wait to get started!
So, I’m starting my new eating plan today. I will make sure to tell you how I’ve done next week after my second meeting!
Adiós amigas!
