I have been doing Slimming World for 2 days now and seemed to have put on 3lbs.
I am really struggling to eat the food
I find with diets I can stick to them no problem but what usually happens is I lose a couple of pounds the first week, stay the same the 2nd then put on the 2lbs I lost the 1st week and start putting weight on the 4th week.
With slimming world I feel bloated and the scales appear to be going in the wrong direction. It is definitely more food and carbs than i am used to.
FWIW I am vegetarian. I don't like cakes or sweet things in general. The only things I have sweet is sorbet if I go out to eat (about once per month) and once in a blue moon I will eat chocolate. I eat loads of veg and maybe one piece of fruit per day. I try to eat very healthily as I like that sort of food but the weight piles on.
Usually I would eat Quorn fillets cooked in a jar of Italian tomato sauce (apparently about 5 syns for 1/2 jar) but the ready meal sweet potato curry is no syns but is huge and leaves me feeling bloated.
Am I doing something wrong.
