Slimming World

So, One took the plunge and joined Slimming World, Of course i was running late, as i rushed along the high street trying to make it to class without looking like a windswept state in the process, i managed to hit every blast of wind and of course it began to rain! You know that fine rain that soaks you through! (God love Peter Kay!).

So i finally arrive and everyones in class, everyone knows each other and me walking in turns into a scene from to O.K corral!!! Everyone turns round looks, goes silent, I try to look casual whilst straightening my hair and clothes! I casually saunter through the group of women to arrive at the weighing station, where a beautifully slim woman nods me onto the scales....*Insert theme music from the O.K Corral!* I had promised myself i wasn't going to look.....but of course i did! WOAH! How is that possible? 10lbs in 2 months! What have i been eating!

As i was running late i had to wait until the end of the class for the Leader to sit and go through the diet with me, since when can you eat so much and lose weight? There are three plans on the diet and you can mix and match throughout the week as much as you like. Optimising Option, Green Option and the Red Option. A lot of what the leader was saying turned into an incessant ramble about being able to eat as much as you like and lose weight.

The green option stood out to me, as much potatoes, Pasta and fruit as veg as you like! The Irish in me loved this! I could hear my mother echoing in my ear...."We had a potato famine you know!"

The Leader spent at least 5 minutes mentioning lots of different foods and making a very irritating "Nom Nom' sound after every food she mentioned. Major biting of the lip going on.....Maybe she thought i was hungry? Little did she know what was really going through my mind!

I wasn't totally miffed off when i left, i was actually very impressed with the diet, seems like you can eat as much as you like as long as its in moderation and the right foods, you'd think i would have caught on to that one a long time ago wouldn't you?

So off i go on my Slimming World challenge, Thursdays are weigh in days wish me luck!!
