Rebecca, you have such a gift for saying what I often think. I agree about not all consultants having the ability to explain the plan fully. I always think you can tell the consultants that ‘get it’ and ‘share it’ by their size. Not to be rude, but, they’re not all target members! I once went to a group where a dear lady had 15 syns. Yes, but she thought she could have 15 different items that had syns. She gained big in her first week which was sad and embarrassing for her. EE is simple, once we have our heads around it. Writing a food diary is an excellent tool. Variety is good, but that doesn’t mean we have to cook a different cordon bleu meal every night. The cook books are all much of a muchness and I now don’t look to what other members call Slimming World food. There’s no such thing. There’s just food that is compliant with the plan and food which must be synned. Free food is my friend on this plan and syns are my savvy extras, healthy extras give me weight boundaries for my nut milks and cereal choices. It’s not rocket science, but we do need to give it our proper attention and even if we did it years ago, we need to be prepared to be teachable. Loved this video. You always use such good common sense ideas and you’re not afraid to say when you struggle. Loads of love Jane xx
Yes, I do find it easier to view Slimming World food as plenty of Free and Speed food first as a priority and then moderated healthy extras and savvy syns. This really helps to cement the plan in its proper place of in the background while we get on with the business of living our lives. The habits get ingrained. It took me a little while to reingrain those habits but I think I am getting there slowly.
Lovely to see you back, Rebecca. Home schooling is very time consuming & exhausting. Your days at home must be quite stressful. Well done on all your planning. Jane Day mentioned you on Saturday as you & she have the same attitude to food. Please keep blogging.. Sending best wishes to you all
Thanks Bronwen. It took a little while to adjust mentally to my new situation but I do feel better now. In a funny way I have an opportunity now to be a full time mum again but with a much better outlook than when they were tiny so I can enjoy it so much more. I really make sure that I am putting myself first and taking time when I need it and ensuring that I don't get myself caught up in knots about obligations and guilt. Keeping my mental health strong and my outlook positive is very important to me to allow myself to get the most out of the sudden change in circumstances. Thanks again for your kind words. Xxxxxx
Thanks Ann. I do find I need a very strong safety net in order to be successful on Slimming World. It does help me a lot. Hope you have a good week too.Xxxxx
