Slimming World

Fattest I've ever been :(

I went back to slimming world tonight after 6 months, got on the scales and I'm the fattest I've ever been in my whole life. I feel devastated and unattractive and greedy and awful. I didn't stay to group because I felt so embarrassed of that number looking back at me. Just looking for some support and a hand hold please, I'm home alone this evening and feeling really sad :(

Don't be so hard on yourself. I went to Starbucks yesterday and saw a child who clearly was very I'll with I assumed cancer. I sat and thought, I maybe overweight but at least I am not carrying that. Life is for living. It's kindness, health etc that matters not what we look like.

Lily2811 · 28/08/2019 18:58

Bloody hell that's a bit heavy!

Don’t feel bad, i’ll bet everyone else was fixated on their own numbers. Could you use this as a springboard, to make it the heaviest you’ll ever be and won’t be again?

Definitely also don’t shy away from support at slimming world. Everyone’s in the same boat and at different stages and I’m sure would be behind you all the way.

It won’t be an easy journey, but certainly don’t feel bad. You’re on the road to make positive changes. You should be proud.

You’ve taken the first step so well done! I joined myself 4 weeks ago and I’ve lost 11lbs already hoping for the stone next week.

Do a shop tonight for all the food you are allowed, (try the oppo ice cream lollies Madagascan they are to die for and low syns) keep a food diary and next week stay for group and be proud of all the pounds you have lost.

It only gets better from here- good luck x

I joined slimming world back in october. So far lost over a stone and a half but feel my weight creeping back up to what was the same as your the heaviest I have ever been.
Just need to find that motivation again. Staying to group defo does that, but I know how you feel it's so hard to stay and even attend when you know it will be a gain.
You have made the biggest step in the right direction joining.

I'm going tomorrow. I know I am the heaviest I've been since I had my kids.

I feel vile, nothing fits, I have double chins but I need to do something now.

PerfectionistProcrastinator · 28/08/2019 21:16

sorry you feel like that. But you have started on the right path now to get to where you want to be.

I don’t think allowing yourself to feel what you’re feeling is a bad thing. Let yourself feel it for tonight. But tomorrow, start your action plan. Meal planning, shopping, prepping.

I’ve never attended a group so I get support and ideas from Instagram and Facebook. I have a slimmingworld Instagram account and follow others for ideas.

There’s also a really really good Facebook group for people following the slimmingworld plan from home. Thousands of members sharing new finds, recipes, syn values. Honestly, without it I’d be really stuck.

Hope you start feeling more positive soon!

Lily2811 · 28/08/2019 21:20

Thank you, what's the Facebook group called?

Weight gain in pregnancy

Weight gain during pregnancy is one of life's certainties, but studies show that many women don't know how much weight they should be putting on – and could be putting themselves and their baby at risk

PerfectionistProcrastinator · 28/08/2019 21:28

It’s called “SLIMMING WORLD (for us following the plan from home)”.

TaskMistress · 29/08/2019 23:09

Oh God! I went to a new
Group tonight - I need to loose nearly 2 stone to be anywhere near a heathy
Weight!!!

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/08/2019 15:24

You may be the fattest you have ever been

But I bet you are slimmer the many

You’ve started to diet. Good luck

thepinkp · 04/09/2019 13:52

Hey how's your first week going? You may be the fastest you've ever been but you faced the scale and are actually doing something about it! Be proud of that fact x

mustpaintthatwall · 04/09/2019 15:45

How's your first week going? Don't feel bad you've done the first thing to shifting the weight.

I joined 3 weeks ago, weighing in tonight and so far shifted 5lb I'm expecting a gain later as I had a fun weekend. Life's for living though.

Good luck xx

Bumbags · 09/09/2019 22:36

I faced the scales tonight.

14 stone 2lbs.

Not good.

3 stone to lose.

Kahlua4me · 15/09/2019 23:07

I am rejoining this week but dreading walking back in the door actually. I know I need to go but I am so ashamed of how much I have put back on.

I haven’t been for a month or so as busy with kids, summer holidays etc and my eating has been out of control. I feel really unhealthy and now have about 2 stone to lose, most of which is on my stomach ☹️

thepinkp · 16/09/2019 10:52

@Kahlua4me nothing to be ashamed of! Remember we all go for the very same reason to lose weight and feel better about ourselves. Do walk back in that door, do face the scales and draw Aline under the past and move forward with a positive mindset. Best of luck x
