Hi all,
I was just wondering....
I've been at Slimming World just over two years now and in the first year and a bit I lost over five stones.
Problem is, in the last 12 months around three have crept back on and I really cannot seem to find the motivation or inspiration to get back there.
It didn't help that early last year some medication I was prescribed affected my appetite (big increase), my resistance plummeted and over 21 lbs added themselves to my frame in just six weeks. However that was nearly a year ago and another stone and a half has appeared which I can't blame on the meds.
I'm really fed up and wondering where the hell my 'Mojo' went.
The thing is, I don't feel I really "connect" with my group any more.Lots of my friends have left and there are a few characters that have appeared that really irritate me. We've also had a change of consultant and she doesn't seem to be as encouraging as the last - in fact, her primary focus seems to be the money. I'm not alone in this sentiment as other fellow group members have commented on this, too.
I don't want to blame my lack of motivation on this but do wonder if this contributes to it.
Problem is, the weight gain has had a knock-on effect on my confidence which makes it even harder to get going again.
I'm wondering if maybe two years with S/World is enough and I need to try something else.
Thoughts and/or encouragement please???
