Slimming World, Better Eating Update

Its been a tough year full stop, but it has been a tough year with Slimming World in our house full stop.

We have struggled with Slimming World since the beginning of lockdown the first time to be honest.

We never really got on with doing Slimming World via zoom and then attempted to do it online, and we didn’t really get on with that.

We have definitely gained weight throughout these lockdowns, but we haven’t really gained anything since then since we have been doing it online, but we haven’t also lost anything.

We have just kind of stopped.

And we aren’t enjoying it and spending more of our time saying we will be back on it again tomorrow, lets just have today, lets get organised tomorrow.

It isn’t happening.

We need something to change.

We are in a complete rut I think and actually not showing a good relationship with our food for us or the boys.

We need to rein it in and go back to the basics.

We are spending so much time on eating the wrong things, snacking, and just going for the crap food and explaining it by getting back on it tomorrow.

It doesn’t work.

Instead we need to look at how we eat as a family as a whole.

We need to ditch the convenience and get rid of the crap and watch what we eat inbetween.

We need to fill our plates with good food, have a good mix of all the good stuff and find some healthy snack options for inbetween our meals.

We need to be able to have the things we fancy and enjoy and learn about the art of everything in moderation.

We are not a family that like fancy foods, or different foods we don’t do sweet potatoes in chocolate brownies I have tried it all before it doesn’t work.

But we are a family that likes more traditional food.

We need to eat better at meals times and less in between.

We all need to drink more, especially water.

We need to sleep better.

We need to exercise more.

And we need to be eating better.

So for this month we are going to try it.

I don’t know if it will be a good thing or a bad thing.

But I am hoping we wont pile on the pounds I hope that we will all feel a bit better from this.

And I hope even Boo will start to eat a bit better and we will get a bit more on top of these issues with our food!

I am going to go on a hunt and find some people to follow on instagram and find some posts on Pinterest for ideas to get out of this rut, ideas for healthier but nice meal options and for healthier snack ideas.

It is going to be a month of learning and planning and seeing how we feel at the end of this and we will decide then if we will continue this way or maybe go back on the Slimming World route or think of another way.

But we definitely need this as a bit of a reboot, refresh and a restart!
