The Slimming World Saga - Second Visit
So, Last week I was inducted into this most practical of cults, by way of the removal of shoes and standing on the Pedastal of Girth.
This week, I repeated the ritual, and found out how much less fat I had. I was a fully fledged member of Slimming World, and there was nothing I could do about it. This was proved by the rather scary text message I received the other day, from the group leader, asking if I was enjoying my first week.
I don't know if 'enjoy' was the right word. I had to completely change my eating and drinking habits, from eating less fatty food such as pizza and fat, and eating more food such as those.. uh.. yellow bendy things that the skin comes off, and those.. green.. round things.. with a stick coming out of the top.
It was tough, but I have come through the first week with flying colours, losing 4 pounds, and I was reliably informed, "You're only 3 pounds away from ringing that bell!" which means I've reached my first milestone in this oddysey that is weight loss classes.
The usual going around the group part happened again, with everyone getting clapped, even those putting on weight, but that was only because the group leader said:
GL "And next, we've got Person A, who since she started, has lost 11 and a half pounds!"
*applause*
GL "But unfortunately has put on 1 pound this week... what happened there?"
PA "I blame the kids! It wasn't me! Honest!"
GL "Haha, we all like to blame the kids, but what was it REALLY?"
PA "I don't know, I've been haywire lately.."
GL "Well let's see an improvement next week, eh?"
Again I thought that she was being harsh, but in looking at the woman, I could tell she liked the cake.
Oh, by the way, I found the place by myself this time, completely knowing that there was no cake involved. How good am I?
As we went around the group I discovered a cheeky way to eat loads of chocolate in the week and not feel guilty about it. What I can do is buy 50 sins worth (however much that amounts to) and put it in a tin, picking at it throughout the week (seeing as I get 150 sins in a week, this could work fine). Initially I thought this was a cop-out, but then I realised it might acutally work, and save me money at the same time!
I left with a grin, and some healthy biscuits.
