Not sure what to do

Cacoethes · 09-01-2017, 09:04 PM

I've been going to slimming world for quite a while now and overall, I've done very well.
I've had some significant losses and of course some gains too.
I've become rather emotionally fragile over the last week for some reason and the thought of going to slimming world and having a gain makes me want to burst into tears and I'm really really down about my weight, which I normally am but it's been more intense this week.
I'm tempted to just not go until I feel a bit mentally stronger and I can just brush of gains as a blip, which I don't believe I have the ability to do right now.
But I don't know whether not going and not having that motivation to eat well will make things worse.
I'm really not sure what to do. Any advice would be appreciated!

can you still go for talking to them and feeling motivated around everyone still, but just not weigh yourself this time?

I do slimming world but the online version. When I'm not strong enough to deal with the gains or losses I don't weigh myself and that means don't have to enter it on the app. Try continuing with eating healthy and watching your syns. But it's ok not to feel like it. You don't have to feel like it every week and having a week of to just relax and eat whatever you want is acceptable. Just as long as you don't snack to much. But it's okay and from what you've posted in the past you've lost a lot of weight and sometimes weight plateaus a bit and you just need to keep going. Chin up. You can do this! I know you can!!

I think sometimes it's ok not to weigh yourself, but just go by how well you feel you've been eating and how healthy you feel. I'm sure they will understand that. Take care of yourself and do what's right for your own well being and mood.

Thank you so much everyone for your replies :)

EMH, that's a good idea. I hadn't thought about just going for the group support.

Thank you R, that's reassuring :)

Thanks Lorraine, they should understand, they are a very supportive group. I'll see how I feel.
