First week and very low mood

[Unsure123123]

I'm starting slimming world. Not joining a group till this week but on day 4 of the plan. My mood is dreadful. I already have anxiety issues which I was managing well with anti depressants and life style changes. I've been stable for 3-4 months hence why I'm now in a good position to start getting healthy and lose the weight I've been carrying for years. I have over 7 stone to lose 😥.

I'm not sleeping well since starting. Waking up hungry but it's just adjusting to the change. The last 24 hours I'm anxious and getting anxiety pangs and so fed up/depressed. I've even got the Sunday blues which is silly as I enjoy working and have great colleagues.

Drinking lots of water, forever going to the toilet. I've not banned sugar in fact today I syn'd a freddo bar and had bread (so good). Also I had a good diet before just ate way to much bread and crisps.

Is this normal? Anyone else found this in the early days?

Bumping for morning people.

Hi I’m in my first week and have been incredibly crabby. I think it’s just your body adjusting to eating in a different way. I used food for comfort and feel a bit lost without it to fall back on. I’ve bought loads of chicken flavour mugshots and gherkins- I think finding free things you enjoy works! Also when you start seeing results you might feel better. Good luck

Thanks. I'm actually feeling a bit better today. I also comfort eat so having to watch my diet and feeling rubbish is a difficult balance. I need to find better ways of managing myself.

I don't remember but I was put on the mini pill about 10 weeks before going on SW and it made me rather angry all the time.
