Hi thank you so much for that. I reached my 60lb target 5 years ago and you have just put into words the mindset I have had for 5 yrs cutting back on food before weigh in constantly think about sins. Well done for a great decision.
Denise im glad you feel better. You have done so well 👏 I have no doubt you will continue loosing weight & a break from SW is useful to normalise your eating while keeping it healthy. Best wishes x
Hi Vivien, thank you very much for sharing your experience with me. I feel that I have just touched the tip of the iceberg, so many people have came forward to say very similar things about how it has made them act and feel. We deserve more! Xx
I’m so glad you are feeling better. I left SW for exactly the same reasons. For me it was things like not being able to have seeded bread, trying other foods like you mentioned. You will have a far healthier approach to food now and nothing is restricted. Good luck my darling on the rest of your journey. Xxx
Hi Ladymawa, thank you so much for your comment. I really appreciate your support and sharing of your experiences too with SW. I am really enjoying having more food freedom already, I really do think I have made the best decision for me. Thanks for watching my video and take care! Xx
I welcome SW into my life. 4stones 9 pounds down. Couldn't have done it without my consultant or group. Respect your decision, love your videos and will continue to watch your journey. Wishing you all the very best xx😘
I can totally understand, I lost 20lb in the last 10 weeks to go on holiday, back to target, but went on holiday, after 4 days became very poorly, I introduced naughty food, I was so ill for 6 days, in so much pain in my stomach, I'm now home and only eating what I feel like, the sad thing was mentally I was so happy that I was poorly and not putting on any weight, I couldn't wait to get home and get weighed, and I was still at target, im now taking a step back and giving myself a break, big hugs ❤
Hi Susan, thank you so much for your understanding! Well done on your weight loss before your holiday, it is not an easy task at all. I am so glad that you’ve taken a step back and have given yourself time to heal. I really do wish you the very best and hope that you continue to make good choices and decisions to benefit yourself long term, you are worth it! Sending a huge hug to you! ❤️
Thank you for your truthfulness. I nearly stopped slimming world but decided to do one more countdown. I too looked at the boxes and thought no way £6 per head for chilli con carne that I’m cooking myself. I’ve also questioned why a 400 cal ready meal by anyone other than slimming world can be so high in syns. I’ll continue to watch you and wish you luck.
Hi ValHalla! Thanks so much for your kindness and understanding too. Yes, £6 a head is very expensive. I am feeling much more free, by enjoying more of what I like and can enjoy those other 400kcal meals, it has felt pretty liberating! Thanks so much and I wish you the best with your own weight loss journey. I appreciate that you will continue to watch my videos, I hope you enjoy them! Xx
Hi Kirstine, I haven’t looked at Nutracheck. I am using MyFitnessPal. What difference is Nutracheck to MFP? I have very much enjoyed more food freedom the last few days, it is taking some adjustment but it won’t be overnight fix to change my mindset about the scales or certain aspects of eating! Xx
I can understand how you feel about Slimming World. Hopefully you can enjoy food in a positive way. I worried about food when is hospital too . A and B choices, meals to choose which were Slimming World friendly
Hi Lizart40, thank you for sharing your experience with me. That is why I needed to change, and quick. It isn’t a healthy way to view life or challenging times such as being unwell, we deserve to recover and get better, not worry about the scales! Xx
Just checking in , I hope you are doing well ? Thank you for the reply. It must be 4 years now since starting SW . The principals are definitely ingrained! Stay healthy ❤
Hi Glad you're feeling better. I can see what your saying about the SW mindset and why you need to try another way. I'm staying with SW atm as it's working for me. I'm so glad you're still going to let us know how you're doing on your journey. Take care xx
Hi Cheryl, thanks so much for your kindness. SW does work, no doubt about it. We all have triggers and what works for us, but I did need to make the decision promptly to remain well for myself. I’m so glad that you are doing well on SW! Take care Cheryl ❤️ xx
Hi Denise, I would like to send you the message that I feel your consultant should have sent you. Hello Denise, thank you for your message, you have done so incredibly well since you have joined Slimming World and I am proud to have been part of your journey. Sometimes things change and we have difficult decisions to make. I will always be a message away or if you feel at some point in the future you would like to join us again you will be welcomed with open arms. Take care of yourself and all the best for the future. Kindest regards your Consultant. I totally understand where you are coming from and I know I have spoken about this to you before. We are all individuals and we have to do what we feel is right for ourselves without worry or guilt. I will not stop watching your videos as you and James are a smashing, kind and lovely couple and I think a lot of you both 🥰 Totally agree about the cost of the boxes, I don't think they will be able to sustain that part of their business unless the either reduce the cost or give members some kind of discount. I didn't realise there was a 2 week wait either, that is ridiculous I am happy to check anything out on the app for you in the future. Very sorry you hear have been soon poorly, hope you make a full recovery soon x Big hug lovely lady xxx.
Hi Kim, thank you so much and I really appreciate the response to the text too. I was disappointed as did think it warranted a reply, but it is what it is! We do indeed, need to do what suits us for what we want to achieve and work with in our lives. I am so glad that you are going to continue to watch the videos and support the channel. James and I are both ever so grateful for your kindness and support, as always. The food boxes are very expensive, and I agree with you that I do not think that it is sustainable. Only time will tell! I hope that you enjoy my future videos ❤️ xx
At the start of this video my heart sunk as this is a genuine fear that I have one of my members feeling. As a consultant I know how heartbreaking it can be to get those messages sometimes. Sometimes you don't know what say but I don't think it would be a anything against you. I know deeply care about all my members and always welcome them back with open arms should they want the support from me and group (I am sure your consultant feels the same) I just wanted to clarify: Members do get discounts on hifi bars, magazines and time to time Iceland range which all are also available to the general public (at a higher price). Slimming World isnt meant to be about restricting ever but filling your belly with the things that give you the results you want. Good luck in your future journey and thank you for being so honest.
Hi Frankieloves, thanks for your comment and time to watch the video too! Yes, I have had the discounted rates on bars, magazines and the Iceland range too with membership which was good, but I do think that SW have missed a trick by allowing the general public to buy the boxes and not offer them exclusively to members, especially as the price point is outside of other competitors such as Gousto or Hello Fresh or Musclefood. A whole week of food and snacks from Musclefood costs £70, so when you compare that to the cost of what SW are charging, it is no wonder that members are feeling short changed. Only time will tell how it’ll all work out, but for me, I am enjoying foods that I haven’t eaten in a year and I am eating more healthily now too. My fibre intake is up to over 30g daily and I feel fuller for longer too. Thanks for your comment once again 😊
Hello Denise, lovely to see you back again, you have really been missed. I am so sorry you have been so unwell, what a worry for you both. I do completely understand where you are coming from regarding SW, just an acknowledgement from your consultant is all it would take for her to let you know that you are important and if you want to give it a break that is your decision and one that you haven’t taken lightly. You have done so well and I, for one, look on you as an inspiration and will continue to follow you and, I know, will enjoy whatever content you you decide to share online. Look after yourself my love and stay fit and well xx
Hi Lucy, thank you so much for your kindness, I am glad to be back and really appreciate that you’ve missed me! I have missed you too and look forward to reading your comments too. I am so glad that you understand where I’m coming from, and why I needed to make this change. The last few days have been nice, and I’ve enjoyed lots of things I haven’t eaten in a year which feels a bit strange, actually. I hope you enjoy my new videos, thanks for sticking around ❤️ xx
Oh Denise thank goodness what a revolution i have been there and thank you i thought it was me having the same thouhts like you i was unwell & beat myself up as my appetite went and only wanted to snack the co stant syn checking and scanning at the supermarket became addictive in a strange way I now don go to SW for that reason i lost 3 stone and yes probably have put alot back on but i had been doing since last July and weight was not shifting even when on plan thank you you talk so much sense and look forward to your videos and glad u r feeling better
Hi Brenda, I am so sorry that you have felt the same way as I have, but I am glad that you recognised that within yourself too. I am so glad that I have you behind me, and I hope you’ll enjoy my new videos ❤️ xx
Denise I am so glad you are feeling and I will still follow your videos. Your inspiration has been a great help to me. I have only 2 1/2 Stone to lose and following SW from home. I understand how restricting it can be and I tend to eat the same things as this means losing, and I worry about being entertained or going out I tend to beat myself up about food options. I will stick to SW but also look into calorie counting. Good luck will enjoy your future videos. 😃
Hi Angela! Thanks so much for continuing to support me! It really does mean the world to me. I hope that you will find my future videos helpful, and it may give you some food for thought (sorry for the pun! 😂). I look forward to making the new videos for all of you! Take care xx
Hi another good video. Well done for putting yourself first. SW does work very well however can take over a bit if you let it. We all have to remember to live our life and not turn down going out and making memories because we get worried about syns! You will smash it as always. Looking forward to the continued journey 💞
Thank you for the big hug, Kim. It hasn’t been an easy time lately but working on myself and continuing to care about what I do to myself is something I always need to be aware of! Thank you for always being there for me, and James ❤️ xx
I keep thinking of syn value. I was so fed up last week that I actually put my target weight up as I can’t substain the target I was at. My weight is just creeping up. I’ve felt like giving up on slimming world. My friend packed it in a few weeks ago and she says she feels much better now she is not constantly thinking of food and weight all day long. The only thing is if I pack it in I am afraid I will put my weight all back on again. I feel like I’m trapped Take care Denise ❤from a Geordie subscriber 🇬🇧 xxx
Thanks so much for your comment! I really appreciate your honesty! I am sorry to hear that you’ve been struggling to sustain your lower weight, but we all have our own weight that our body generally can stabilise at. I hope that you can feel free - I hope my future videos can be helpful to you and it may make you feel more happy. Take care of yourself lovely ❤️ xx
I wonder if you need a diet break after dieting for so long. I don’t mean go off the wagon but just concentrate on maintenance your weight for a few weeks then start at it again after the break. Sometimes this can kick start a weight loss or just as Denise says all our bodies have their ideal weight whether you are 5’3 or 6 ft so don’t compare your ideal weight to someone with the same height or age. Our body is a complex piece of machinery and your mental health is just as important as your physical. I wish you well and hope you don’t remain feeling trapped as you describe as there is always a way out it’s just you giving yourself permission to find it. Good luck
Thank you for your advice. I’m going on holiday today. I think I will try and give my self a break while on my holiday Thanks for your support both of you ❤from 🇬🇧
You are definitely doing the right thing and I have also recently reached the same conclusion! I definitely have disordered eating as I have been dieting for decades. Yesterday we had breakfast out and I sat there looking at the menu & realised that it’s years since I ordered something I wanted instead of whatever has the lowest calories even if I don’t want it! We are in the process of moving house and there is so much stress involved that I feel what I eat is the lowest priority right now! The boxes are way too expensive! I hope you feel better soon ❤
Hi Vanessa, thank you so much. Thank you for also sharing your experience with me, I am shocked at how many people are feeling or thinking the same too. I hope your house move goes smoothly, and wish you the best for your new home too! Thank you for your well wishes and I really appreciate your kindness ❤️ xx
I left because of the reasons you mentioned. ❤❤I pray you are well, and yes glad you left, that doesn't seem healthy. It made me obsess, have so much food anxiety 😢Jessy 😍
Hi Jessy, thank you so much for sharing your experience with me. I am sorry to hear that you had anxiety and obsession with it all. I hope you are doing well now and take care. Best wishes, Denise x
Thank you for being so honest, we all need a break sometimes! I’ve been doing SW for 18 months now and am about 5lbs from target and I must admit this last bit has been the hardest and I’ve been yo-yo-ing for ages, but I’m determined to get there, not only because it’s my target but so I can keep going for free 😂. I agree with you on the kitchen meals, why would you pay those prices when you can buy a fully prepped meal from Iceland for similar prices which you just have to throw in the microwave 🧐 anyway best of luck with your calorie counting, I’ll still be following you to see how you get on. Take care and get well soon xx
Hi Liz! Thank you for watching my video, I really appreciate it. I’m sorry to hear that you’ve had some challenges with the last few pounds, perhaps changing up your food choices or planning a menu may help? Thank you so much for continuing to support me, and I am glad you understand where I am coming from. Take care and I hope you enjoy the future content too! Xxx
Hello,well you have been very unwell,sorry to hear that.I’m with SW have lost three stone and a couple of lbs to target.I’ve been overweight most of my life ,and SW really works for me.Having said that had a couple of false starts due to the consultant,now after changing groups and finding the best consultant ever who talks much more about what’s going on in your head and not focusing too much on what you’re eating.I do blind weigh ins every week so only really know I’ve lost when I get another award (two stone , two half stone) it has really worked for me not knowing what the scales are saying.There are so many other factors related to losing weight and definitely not only what the scales say .We are all very different and weather you are or not doing SW i will still follow you,good luck and just keep being consistent.
Hi Kim, thank you for your well wishes! SW has worked for me, after following it for 52 weeks religiously! I am glad that it works for you and that you’ve found a consultant who cares and who you can relate to, and feel comfortable with too. I am going to be weighing at home, and my husband and I are both going to use MyFitnessPal on a daily basis to track our food/calories and we will both weigh in at home together too. I really appreciate your comment, and kindness too. I hope you enjoy my future videos as well. Take care! Xx
Hi Denise I really felt for you as can see you have been through it lately are you going to stick to calorie counting and healthy food choices from now on then ?
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your kindness and support - I know this decision is the best one for me, glad you understand why ❤️ I will be using MyFitnessPal to track my calories each day.
Hi Danielle, thank you so much. My husband and I are now doing calorie counting on MyFitnessPal together, and we weigh in/check in with each other. We both need accountability, but I do understand how you feel about going to get weighed too. In a previous job, we had a weigh in morning and everyone’s weight was kept confidential, but it did help people stay on track! Xx
Good luck Denise. I will still be watching and supporting you. Hope you’re on the mend now. I know from past experience how SW can mess with your head. You can do it ! ❤
Thank you so much! I am so glad that you will stick around and watch my future content. I am sorry to hear that you’ve had similar past experience too, we are all deserving of the best for what we want to achieve! X
So pleased you are getting better, I tried to do SW but could not do it for the reasons you have highlighted in this vlog, I love cc so much, good luck with your new journey xx
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and experiences. I am glad I’m not alone, and do feel that many people are feeling a similar way to how I have done recently. I hope you enjoy my new videos! Xx
Hi, you have got to do what is right for you, I shall definitely still watch your videos. I love how honest you are, can’t wait for future videos, thanks for still sharing your journey. Hope you’re feeling well now x
I think you’ve made a wise decision. Slimming World works but doesn’t always make sense. I’ll still be watching your videos. Sorry you’ve been so unwell. xx
Hi Jane, thank you so much. I am so glad that you’ll continue to watch my channel and I appreciate your well wishes! I am still not feeling great, I had a few days of feeling better after my antibiotics finished, but feeling a bit bad again today. The fatigue is unreal! Have a lovely week xx
Weight loss is all about the headspace. You have all the skills and knowledge just need to balance your food intake. Focus on what is good for you and managing the portion control. personally my cravings for sugar and the rubbish has gone. I no longer want it as my body has changed and my diet has changed and my body no longer wants it. Calorie awareness works but make what you do eat be calories that nourish and feed you for the good. A day at a time and a lot of days will mount to a great deal.
Hi Helen! Thanks so much. I’m really grateful for your understanding and insight into why I made this decision. I always prioritise protein, and this does help me feel fuller for longer and less likely to snack on sweet things. I am feeling empowered by calorie counting already and enjoying what I am eating! I appreciate your words of support ❤️ thank you xx
Thank you Yolanda! Well done on noticing unhealthy habits, you just can’t underestimate how important that is to recognise within ourselves! I haven’t used Nutracheck before. Is it similar to MyFitnessPal? Xx
I am so glad to see you back I thought you must be ill I admire your courage to leave slimming world for me it’s the account ability if I wasent there there’s nights I would say ah well one Chinese will be ok I’ve now lost 3-11 lbs so o words and upwards take care. 🎉😊
Thank you so much Antonia. You know me, I’ll always bounce back! Well done on your fantastic weight loss, a fantastic achievement ❤️ I hope you enjoy my new videos xx
Hope your feeling better by now I'm glad that you are honest about slimming world I agree with you you can easily become obsessed with what you put in our mouths once slimming world get hold of your head it can poison your mind just enjoy life it does show that it's a money game xx
Hi Rose, thank you so much. I am still not feeling great if I am honest but taking a day at a time. Hoping I will be back to normal (whatever that is 😂) by the beginning of next week. Thank you for your understanding and kindness about my decisions and struggles that I’ve had! Xx
Sorry to hear you've been so unwell! I think it takes so much to move away from what you're used to when you can see that it's creating an unhealthy mindset, I really respect you for that. Unfortunately no matter what form of weight loss you're pursuing there's toxic elements to it, it really takes a lot to keep your head above water and I wish you all the best ❤
So true! Thank you so much, Heather. I am so glad of your kindness and support. I’m grateful for your understanding, and hope that you will enjoy my future video content too xx
Phew Denise i thought u were going for good. So glad you are still going to be on You Tube. I love all of your videos. Oh My God you hablve really been through it bless you. Sending you Big hugs. I totally understand why you are leaving SW. I weigh in Sunday and every Saturday i really deprive myself and it sort of spoils my weekend. Also im in mindset that I cant go above 8 syns!!!! So although Im still loosely doing SW . I am concentrating of fitness. You are one amazing lady you have achieved so much and will continue to. Look forward to your future videos xxx
Hi Sue, thanks so much that you are going to continue to support me. I am sorry that I have been unable to make videos, I still do not feel that good. I’m about 70-80% better today, but hoping I get better in a few days. I am sorry to hear that you are having your own challenges regards Syns and deprivation - you are worth so much more. I hope my future videos will be useful and interesting for you xx
Glad you're on the mend, Denise. I missed your channel as I too have been in hospital having a hip replacement but now on the road to recovery. My husband is looking after me well but it means my food is simply that, nutrition to get me through the day. I will go back to class in about six/eight weeks and the scales will say whatever. I applaud your thinking because if alarm bells start to go off in your head, you must listen to them. I look forward to your new content and definitely won't hold it against you if you don't mention 'syn values'! I agree with you about the SW boxes. I think they've made a huge mistake with this one but only time will tell. Take care and sending you hugs 😘 xx
Hi Karen, I am so sorry that you’ve been in hospital. I hope your recovery is going well at the moment! I’m glad that you have a lovely husband supporting you at home, and I am sure that your nutritional needs will be met very well indeed. I am glad you’re going to stick around with me, and hope you enjoy my future videos! Please take care and rest up xx
So glad you're on the mend Denise. As you say, once you start to feel guilty about enjoying food, it's time for a break. You've done fantastically, having the knowledge to know what works for you and James makes this the best decision for you. I love your videos and will continue to watch and learn from your knowledge. Good luck to you both and enjoy xx
Thank you very much, Susan. I am glad that you are going to continue to support me and watch my channel - that really does mean the world to me. Thank you and I hope you enjoy the new videos! Xx
I am a SlimmingWorlder but I really do feel it creates really unhealthy relationships with food. You have done wonderfully to loose 60lb. So glad you are sticking with CZcams.
Hi Lis, thank you so much for your understanding. I feel quite free, but it will take some time to adjust. I am so glad that I have gotten as far as I have, but this last part I need to do mindfully, for my own wellbeing. Thank you so much for supporting me! ❤️
So glad you’ve made the decision to leave slimming world. It sounds like you have a bad relationship with the diet.I myself got to the point where I was taking laxatives to loose weight bad ideas but although I put some weight on I do nutracheck which I find better 29 pounds a year .i will continue to follow your advice and keep up with your journey so sorry to hear that you have been so ill glad your better now wishing you all the best for your future journey take care my dear friend 🎉
Hi Lesley, thanks so much for your support. I have taken laxatives too, and can understand where you are coming from with that too. I haven’t tried Nutracheck as use MyFitnessPal, what is the difference? I am feeling rather rubbish again today, but I am in bed relaxing after a nap earlier this evening. Hope I can shift this virus for good in the very near future! I’m so glad that you’re going to stick around to watch my journey and channel - thank you ever so much! ❤️ xx
Denise i really in joy the video but I am fine sw has helf me but I lost 5 stone and than as I told you I have accident and I have but 3stone on and I have went back but I am upand down and it is really getting to me could you please help me ias the sins are getting to me thank you sending you all my love and hugs ❤❤
Hi Marie, thanks for watching! How can I help? I will be posting my next video as part of using MyFitnessPal. Hopefully this will be of interest and support for you! Take care and thanks for continuing to support me ❤️ xx
Hi Denise Well Done for being so honest - SW is a low fat diet that works but its also can be very unhealthy too. A lot of low syn foods are very over processed & the healthy foods are high in syns🤔 I have learnt so much about nutrition which I 🙏🏽 SW for but i never do their plan. I enjoy a lot of foods they demonise & like to eat as part of my day to day diet. I cook my own food most days have a few meals out but eat plenty of protein fats & veg. I find the Zoe channel & a brill usa lady called Dani Spiers Clean & Delicious really informative & there is also an ex SW consultant called Kieron who does Grow based on SW & Cal Count. Ive seen a few ex consultants quietly quit SW & do different plans to keep control of their weight. So sorry to hear about ur illness & hope ur recovery goes well. I think u should get to ur 6st call target continue with SW as a target member & weigh in for free every few weeks. Use this year to eat how u want to & not gain it back. There is no law that says u can't cal count & go to SW group. The plan is roughly based around 1500-1800 cals. I personally didn't see the point in counting syns & ignoring the nutrition info on the packets. You have worked really hard to get where u are & group support is so important. Glad ur not quitting utube & getting lots of support from ur utube fam🎉😳🙌🏾
Hi Dionne! Thanks for watching and commenting. I want to thank you very much for sharing your insight and experience. I have heard of the Zoe channel and have read up on some of their research which is fantastic. I will look into the others that you’ve mentioned! Thanks for your support and understanding of what I am trying to achieve! Have a lovely evening xx
@@ScottishFoodieLassie Hi Denise sorry to mither again but just binge watching some of ur old vids & shocked u did SW for so long😆🤣😂 Can i ask How often were u doing the to good to go bags? Omg some of the foods looked so delicious as i love bakery stuff. I can see u are a m&s girl which i like to do once a month & taste test with Aldi as where i do my main shop they are next door to each other. The difference with u from a year ago is amazing - it just goes to show the type of foods u eat are so important. The bad stuff taste so good but i have to learn how to navigate the hurdles to also enjoy the foods i love. I didnt realise u were a nurse. Its such a shame that so many of u are paying to do SW the NHS should really have a weight loss programme for their own staff at the very least. From a selfish point of veiw i cant wait to see the types of foods u choose. I have focused on eating my protein since Jan this year & dont snack between meals which is a real bonus. I have never paid attention to how many protein grams I eat but it has made a big difference & i do enjoy it. Im sure after reading the comments u will get tons of support. Good Luck on ur New Journey🙏🏽
@dionnereid1737 hello! I did TGTG for a few months, lots of different offerings and deals. Sadly, it isn’t as easy or cheap to get a TGTG bag now as they changed the format! Most of the food was excellent, some was absolutely the worst ever though. We shop in Tesco, Food Warehouse and M&S as the three shops are in the same retail park. We do also like Aldi, but not ideally close to us and the road set up puts us off driving down that way (20min tailbacks!). Thank you, I don’t work in the NHS any longer, but there does need to be more support and research to support health care professionals in achieving healthier lifestyles for various reasons. I have had a good week of food and I must admit, I have enjoyed my food more and have had more food freedom to enjoy planning and buying food too! I look forward to updating you in my next video ❤️ xx
Hope all is well but I have to say good luck to anyone trying to get ‘therapy’ for eating disorders! I’ll still follow what your doing so look after your own mental health. You have amazing insight.
I do think SW can take over sometimes. It’s like if I have cereal for breakfast and want pitta bread for lunch - but then not have it because I’ve already had my HEB. I like avocados and like you say if you want to pick a 400 calorie meal etc you get put off because of the syn value. That’s really bad. I would be upset too. My friend has taken a break from SW as her mind isn’t in it at the minute , and she let the consultant know and she was very supportive about it. Yes, the SW online box thing does seem expensive. It’ll be cheaper to go and buy the stuff yourself. 😮xxxxx
Hi Claire, thank you for sharing your experience with me. It has surprised me as to how many people have said similar things to you, and feel similar to how I do too! I have been enjoying having a little of what I want and loving it. Breakfast is Pro-Milk protein shake, mid morning is a yakult light, lunch is a frozen SW lunch pot, ringos and a lighter cheese portion, afternoon snack is a special K berry bar and dinner has been whatever I fancy within my calories but aiming for protein +++! I am looking forward to getting into the 14s. That’s my next goal 🥳 thanks for supporting me and sharing my thoughts! Xxx
Thank you! I have been using the free trial and so will consider buying it once I’ve used up my trial to see if I like it! 😊 thanks for watching my video.
You’ve made a decision which is right for you right now. You’ve learnt enough from SW to take bits from that and from when you lost using My Fitness Pal before too. I’ve been doing SW since Feb but I only do it online, I don’t need the extra support as I’m focused enough and have the support from my husband. I know at some point I won’t keep paying as I’ll have learnt enough. I don’t have any interest in their boxes at all. I’m happy when the meals are 3 for £10 at Iceland and if not I’ll make it from scratch, or use my slow cooker on busy days. I think the day you choose to weigh yourself at home matters too. I love doing it on a Monday morning, it’s the start of a new week and makes me more focused, so now you have that choice too to change it up to what suits you best. Hope you continue to feel better and get out and about in your new car. Good luck with this new chapter, you’ll be fine I’m sure of it x
Hi Natalie, thank you so much for your kindness and encouragement. I am still buying the meals from Iceland, just like you. The 3 for £10 deal is good and saves time a few times a week for lunches at work. Takes the hassle away from many things, and I am looking forward to seeing how I feel about which day to weigh in. I think a Saturday does give me a little boost but always, can have a little treat on the weekend then back to it on the Sunday! I am ever so grateful for your kindness and support and encouragement, I really am very lucky! Xx
Hi AnneMarie, I have been through a bit of a rough time with being ill and everything has been put into perspective. I’m so grateful for your support and following! Xx
Thank you so much, lovely. I am quite proud of myself that I was able to recognise it within myself, I never would have done this before. Thank you so much for continuing to support me! X
Hi Lovely, I’m a very new subscriber but I’m not going to unsubscribe simply because you’re no longer doing SW. I respect your decision, only you know how you feel and once you get an inkling of a disordered way of thinking about food it’s time to change because it can happen so quickly. I actually started to feel obsessive about food when I was doing calorie counting, so we’re all different and we have to listen to ourselves. Regarding your consultant, although I think she was being very shortsighted from a business perspective I think you’re probably reading too much into it. I don’t think your comment necessarily warranted a response and I don’t think she was being intentionally rude, but I do get it, you feel like you’ve built up a relationship with someone and it really doesn’t take much to send a little emoji and a best wishes text. Please don’t feel guilty about not trying the food boxes. They don’t look that great and I think they’re extortionate. Good luck with your new journey xx
Hi Ladymeringue! Thank you so much for sticking around - some people have left already, so I do appreciate you staying ❤️ I didn’t want to rush into the decision, but did need to make a prompt decision to regain control and I’m proud of myself for that, and for seeing the issues for myself. I never would have been able to value myself or my feelings like this before! Thank you so much, keep an eye out for the next video ❤️ x
@@ScottishFoodieLassieCan't wait to see where your new journey takes you 💖 and i can relate about salad boxes i have also started calorie counting i can only get so far with sw this time around x
I have now re subscribed back to your channel now that you have left s/w!! I did s/w on and off for years... never got to target...because its too restrictive!! We should be able to eat whatever we want to as long as we are in a calorie deficit... I use nutracheck now and get on much better with it ❤
Hi Alison, welcome back. I am sorry to hear that you unsubscribed. I am enjoying using MyFitnessPal but have downloaded nutracheck to decide on which one I prefer! I’m glad you’re getting on better with your current method for weight management 😊
I’ll still watch your videos Denise even though i attend SW, you have to do what’s best for you ❤ I know where you’re coming from with the eating less before weigh day. I get weighed on a Thursday so starve myself on the Wednesday, always have done. Take care and all the best ❤ Xx
Hi Denise, you must do what is right for you. I do agree that the slimming world food boxes are too expensive and there doesn't seem to be any incentives for paying members. My son also goes to slimming world and he said it's not worth the money for the cook boxes. To be honest I said you're better off just buying the frozen meals because they are already done for you and there is less washing up. I am struggling with losing weight at the moment but I will give slimming world a bit longer because my willpower is awful. I hope you are feeling much better and it's lovely to see you. Take care my lovely kind regards Angeline 😊xx
Hi Sargee - thanks so much for your comment. Yes, the boxes are very expensive and I do think it is a real shame that members aren’t being prioritised or supported with this new venture. I hope that you will enjoy my next video - and I hope that your weight loss journey remains stable. Take care! Xx
Hi Jo! Thank you ever so much. The red flags were alarm bells, and I did need to consider my options, but move quickly as well as I didn’t want my decision making to be skewed. I feel I have made the best decision for me now. Thank you so much for your kindness and understanding too! I hope you enjoy my future videos Xx
Sorry to hear this but you have to do what's good for you I'm staying with SW it works for me I've tried everything else in the past I need the group I've lost nearly 2 stone so far I for one won't be buying the new boxes and I'll carry on watching you so good luck x
Hi Julie, thanks so much for your understanding. The kitchen boxes are very expensive and a real shame that members cannot even save money to try them out, no incentives are available. I’m so glad you’re going to stick around to watch me and support my channel! Thank you! ❤️ xx
Hi Michele, I have left Slimming World for the goodness of my own health and wellbeing. Hopefully you will stick around to watch my progress as I go it alone! Xx
Oh wow. I was sad when when I saw the thumbnail. I even said a prayer for you. I didn't think you would be a person who did clickbait. Good luck on your jouney.
Morning glad you are feeling a bit better, give yourself time, you can't recover overnight as you know. i am looking forward to following your future journey. xxx Lesley xxx
Thank you very much, Lesley! Today is the first day I’ve felt nearly back to my usual self. It has taken longer than expected, if I’m honest! Hoping you are having a good week so far. Take care xx
Hi Denise you look fabulous ❤I have followed you from the beginning and have gained so much inspiration from watching your channel. Thanks for everything and I am glad you are going to continue your channel. You are right to take a break and it was unfortunate your leader did not reply but you know you are making the right decision so well done you 🙂 enjoy your new weight loss journey and looking forward to your next video ❤
Thank you so much, I really am so glad to have people like you behind me. I am so pleased that you are going to follow me as I make this change, and hope that it will be helpful and enjoyable for you to watch! Have a lovely evening xx
Great to see you back and hope you are back to full health soon, you have to do what you feel is best for you regarding your weight loss journey , i am at target and struggling to maintain every week ,i put on a couple of pounds and then lose then back on , i was thinking of trying calorie counting to see if that would help me , good luck on your weight loss journey , i will keep watching your channel , take care ♥
Thank you so much, I do feel like I’ve made the right decision already. I feel happier about food and my choices available to me. I am using the MyFitnessPal app and have also downloaded Nutracheck. I want to see which one I prefer before I decide on it as MyFitnessPal is free but nutracheck has a small fee each month xx
Hopefully slimming world consultant has gotten back to you ? Love your new car. Sorry you have been so ill. Slimming World will always be there when needed. ❤ I have reached my target weight
Hi Lizart40, I still haven’t had a reply from Saturday, unfortunately. I do feel a bit uneasy about it, if I’m honest! It is quite unsettling isn’t it? Expecting more from someone than what is reality. Thank you so much, I haven’t been feeling so well today and I’m in bed resting up. Well done on reaching your target weight, you should be very proud of yourself! Xx
Hi Liz, nice to hear from you. I have been recovering but now feeling back to usual just over the last few days. I have recorded my newest video, but slight delay to upload it. Please keep your eyes peeled for it. I hope you are keeping well! Xx
Hi I've been loads of times at the end of the day your paying their wages so don't feel bad it's your body think everyone get in a rut with it you do what you need to do honey x
Don’t worry, I am not leaving CZcams, but I have left Slimming World. It hasn’t been a decision I’ve taken lightly, but it did need to happen promptly! X
Dearest Denise ♡ I am terribly sorry that you have been so ill! You poor woman! I am sending lots of love, hugsxx & support your way, along with healing prayers for your speedy recovery. I am very happy to hear that you will be doing what is best for your health regarding healthy eating! I have been on a diet of one sort or another for the majority of my life. I even had weight loss surgery 14 years ago now. I have been morbidly obese 3 times. This led me to have disordered eating. I am glad that you are making the necessary changes to avoid becoming like me! I am no longer on a diet. I just can't do it anymore. I am instead going to try a different approach, weight loss & and maintenance. I hope that it what I do next will help me with my very unhealthy relationship with food. I wish you well on your continued journey!
Hi Roe, thank you very much for your support, and for sharing where you are at in your own journey. We need to do what is right for us, and I do hope that you find peace in doing so. Wishing you the best of luck with wellness and enjoying life! Xx
Hi Denise big hugs that would have been a hard vlog to do on many levels, you have been doing some hard soul looking and still have a raspy voice. James awesome for getting you ice cream as much as your head screaming nope how many SYNS....it did you physically good and so soothing but mentally it helped turn the switch. I have worried a couple of times over time I have watched when you have mentioned limiting food pre weigh but as a stranger on Internet did not know how to mention so I am glad you have in your own time and way decided to change things.....had I felt over a consistent time worried I would have found a way. Looking back over the year you have come a long way learnt so much about changing eating and mindset and that it is a life long change not only what you eat but why you eat and now exploring how you use all that has been learnt and apply in a way you can sustain for life and that is fabulous. I am chuffed you fully used all inclusive options for holiday it was well needed. I am still plodding with SW a 1lb a week and heck that is OK as I balance previous knowledge of how I lose weight with SW and although I would love big weekly loss I know my slow but sure way will mean I keep it off but equally I will not feel bad about having a Rock Cake from batch I have just done for my son in law....Baker has to taste product me thinks. I am off to Glasgow on Wednesday and need to find a Greek, Indian and Fish place to eat for my daughter while she goes off for another tattoo where to start lol All before we see Thirty Seconds To Mars..... So big hugs again and wil see you on the next one ❤x
Hi Dormouse, thank you so much for being so kind and understanding! I really do appreciate your support and ability to see it from my perspective too. I really do hope that you have a fantastic time in Glasgow. Glasgow city centre is jam packed of amazing restaurants and I hope that you have a lovely time with your daughter. Please have the best time at 30 Seconds to Mars too! Say hello to them for me 😂❤️ xx
You are better going to marks Spencer for good food and it last well I got the veg bag it was great I made couscous with it very filling sw kitchen box too expensive for most people 🐝🧵🐝
Thanks for the tip! I will keep an eye out for the little bags and things that I can now enjoy more of. Looking forward to enjoying real food and freedom! Xx
Hi thank you so much for that. I reached my 60lb target 5 years ago and you have just put into words the mindset I have had for 5 yrs cutting back on food before weigh in constantly think about sins. Well done for a great decision.
Denise im glad you feel better.
You have done so well 👏
I have no doubt you will continue loosing weight & a break from SW is useful to normalise your eating while keeping it healthy.
Best wishes x
Hi Bridgeen, thank you so much. I am looking forward to the flexibility of eating more foods that I enjoy again, fitting around my life! ❤️ xx
Hi Vivien, thank you very much for sharing your experience with me. I feel that I have just touched the tip of the iceberg, so many people have came forward to say very similar things about how it has made them act and feel. We deserve more! Xx
I’m so glad you are feeling better. I left SW for exactly the same reasons. For me it was things like not being able to have seeded bread, trying other foods like you mentioned.
You will have a far healthier approach to food now and nothing is restricted. Good luck my darling on the rest of your journey. Xxx
Hi Ladymawa, thank you so much for your comment. I really appreciate your support and sharing of your experiences too with SW. I am really enjoying having more food freedom already, I really do think I have made the best decision for me. Thanks for watching my video and take care! Xx
I welcome SW into my life. 4stones 9 pounds down. Couldn't have done it without my consultant or group. Respect your decision, love your videos and will continue to watch your journey. Wishing you all the very best xx😘
Great job, Tina! Well done on your weight loss so far. I am very grateful that you will stick around and I appreciate your support and kindness ❤️ xx
I can totally understand, I lost 20lb in the last 10 weeks to go on holiday, back to target, but went on holiday, after 4 days became very poorly, I introduced naughty food, I was so ill for 6 days, in so much pain in my stomach, I'm now home and only eating what I feel like, the sad thing was mentally I was so happy that I was poorly and not putting on any weight, I couldn't wait to get home and get weighed, and I was still at target, im now taking a step back and giving myself a break, big hugs ❤
Hi Susan, thank you so much for your understanding! Well done on your weight loss before your holiday, it is not an easy task at all.
I am so glad that you’ve taken a step back and have given yourself time to heal. I really do wish you the very best and hope that you continue to make good choices and decisions to benefit yourself long term, you are worth it! Sending a huge hug to you! ❤️
Thank you for your truthfulness. I nearly stopped slimming world but decided to do one more countdown. I too looked at the boxes and thought no way £6 per head for chilli con carne that I’m cooking myself. I’ve also questioned why a 400 cal ready meal by anyone other than slimming world can be so high in syns. I’ll continue to watch you and wish you luck.
Hi ValHalla! Thanks so much for your kindness and understanding too. Yes, £6 a head is very expensive. I am feeling much more free, by enjoying more of what I like and can enjoy those other 400kcal meals, it has felt pretty liberating! Thanks so much and I wish you the best with your own weight loss journey. I appreciate that you will continue to watch my videos, I hope you enjoy them! Xx
Well said. Felt like that too on SW, it encourages obsession with food. I do Nutracheck now and am enjoying so much more freedom in food choices. X
Hi Kirstine, I haven’t looked at Nutracheck. I am using MyFitnessPal. What difference is Nutracheck to MFP? I have very much enjoyed more food freedom the last few days, it is taking some adjustment but it won’t be overnight fix to change my mindset about the scales or certain aspects of eating! Xx
I can understand how you feel about Slimming World. Hopefully you can enjoy food in a positive way.
I worried about food when is hospital too . A and B choices, meals to choose which were Slimming World friendly
Hi Lizart40, thank you for sharing your experience with me. That is why I needed to change, and quick. It isn’t a healthy way to view life or challenging times such as being unwell, we deserve to recover and get better, not worry about the scales! Xx
Just checking in , I hope you are doing well ? Thank you for the reply. It must be 4 years now since starting SW . The principals are definitely ingrained! Stay healthy ❤
Hi
Glad you're feeling better. I can see what your saying about the SW mindset and why you need to try another way. I'm staying with SW atm as it's working for me.
I'm so glad you're still going to let us know how you're doing on your journey. Take care xx
Hi Cheryl, thanks so much for your kindness. SW does work, no doubt about it. We all have triggers and what works for us, but I did need to make the decision promptly to remain well for myself. I’m so glad that you are doing well on SW! Take care Cheryl ❤️ xx
Hi Denise, I would like to send you the message that I feel your consultant should have sent you.
Hello Denise, thank you for your message, you have done so incredibly well since you have joined Slimming World and I am proud to have been part of your journey. Sometimes things change and we have difficult decisions to make. I will always be a message away or if you feel at some point in the future you would like to join us again you will be welcomed with open arms. Take care of yourself and all the best for the future. Kindest regards your Consultant.
I totally understand where you are coming from and I know I have spoken about this to you before. We are all individuals and we have to do what we feel is right for ourselves without worry or guilt. I will not stop watching your videos as you and James are a smashing, kind and lovely couple and I think a lot of you both 🥰
Totally agree about the cost of the boxes, I don't think they will be able to sustain that part of their business unless the either reduce the cost or give members some kind of discount. I didn't realise there was a 2 week wait either, that is ridiculous
I am happy to check anything out on the app for you in the future.
Very sorry you hear have been soon poorly, hope you make a full recovery soon x
Big hug lovely lady xxx.
Exactly the reply Denise should have received ❤
Wow!! Fantastic reply xx 😘
Hi Kim, thank you so much and I really appreciate the response to the text too. I was disappointed as did think it warranted a reply, but it is what it is!
We do indeed, need to do what suits us for what we want to achieve and work with in our lives. I am so glad that you are going to continue to watch the videos and support the channel. James and I are both ever so grateful for your kindness and support, as always. The food boxes are very expensive, and I agree with you that I do not think that it is sustainable. Only time will tell! I hope that you enjoy my future videos ❤️ xx
At the start of this video my heart sunk as this is a genuine fear that I have one of my members feeling. As a consultant I know how heartbreaking it can be to get those messages sometimes. Sometimes you don't know what say but I don't think it would be a anything against you. I know deeply care about all my members and always welcome them back with open arms should they want the support from me and group (I am sure your consultant feels the same)
I just wanted to clarify: Members do get discounts on hifi bars, magazines and time to time Iceland range which all are also available to the general public (at a higher price).
Slimming World isnt meant to be about restricting ever but filling your belly with the things that give you the results you want.
Good luck in your future journey and thank you for being so honest.
Hi Frankieloves, thanks for your comment and time to watch the video too!
Yes, I have had the discounted rates on bars, magazines and the Iceland range too with membership which was good, but I do think that SW have missed a trick by allowing the general public to buy the boxes and not offer them exclusively to members, especially as the price point is outside of other competitors such as Gousto or Hello Fresh or Musclefood. A whole week of food and snacks from Musclefood costs £70, so when you compare that to the cost of what SW are charging, it is no wonder that members are feeling short changed. Only time will tell how it’ll all work out, but for me, I am enjoying foods that I haven’t eaten in a year and I am eating more healthily now too. My fibre intake is up to over 30g daily and I feel fuller for longer too. Thanks for your comment once again 😊
Hello Denise, lovely to see you back again, you have really been missed. I am so sorry you have been so unwell, what a worry for you both. I do completely understand where you are coming from regarding SW, just an acknowledgement from your consultant is all it would take for her to let you know that you are important and if you want to give it a break that is your decision and one that you haven’t taken lightly. You have done so well and I, for one, look on you as an inspiration and will continue to follow you and, I know, will enjoy whatever content you you decide to share online. Look after yourself my love and stay fit and well xx
Hi Lucy, thank you so much for your kindness, I am glad to be back and really appreciate that you’ve missed me! I have missed you too and look forward to reading your comments too.
I am so glad that you understand where I’m coming from, and why I needed to make this change. The last few days have been nice, and I’ve enjoyed lots of things I haven’t eaten in a year which feels a bit strange, actually. I hope you enjoy my new videos, thanks for sticking around ❤️ xx
Oh Denise thank goodness what a revolution i have been there and thank you i thought it was me having the same thouhts like you i was unwell & beat myself up as my appetite went and only wanted to snack the co stant syn checking and scanning at the supermarket became addictive in a strange way
I now don go to SW for that reason i lost 3 stone and yes probably have put alot back on but i had been doing since last July and weight was not shifting even when on plan thank you you talk so much sense and look forward to your videos and glad u r feeling better
Hi Brenda, I am so sorry that you have felt the same way as I have, but I am glad that you recognised that within yourself too. I am so glad that I have you behind me, and I hope you’ll enjoy my new videos ❤️ xx
Denise I am so glad you are feeling and I will still follow your videos. Your inspiration has been a great help to me. I have only 2 1/2 Stone to lose and following SW from home. I understand how restricting it can be and I tend to eat the same things as this means losing, and I worry about being entertained or going out I tend to beat myself up about food options. I will stick to SW but also look into calorie counting. Good luck will enjoy your future videos. 😃
Hi Angela! Thanks so much for continuing to support me! It really does mean the world to me. I hope that you will find my future videos helpful, and it may give you some food for thought (sorry for the pun! 😂). I look forward to making the new videos for all of you! Take care xx
Hi another good video. Well done for putting yourself first. SW does work very well however can take over a bit if you let it. We all have to remember to live our life and not turn down going out and making memories because we get worried about syns! You will smash it as always. Looking forward to the continued journey 💞
Hi Lorraine, thank you so much for understanding. I am so glad that you’re going to stick around for my journey! Xx
Oh Denise, I am so sorry to read this headline. I hope you and James are okay. Sending a big hug xxx
Thank you for the big hug, Kim. It hasn’t been an easy time lately but working on myself and continuing to care about what I do to myself is something I always need to be aware of! Thank you for always being there for me, and James ❤️ xx
I keep thinking of syn value. I was so fed up last week that I actually put my target weight up as I can’t substain the target I was at. My weight is just creeping up. I’ve felt like giving up on slimming world. My friend packed it in a few weeks ago and she says she feels much better now she is not constantly thinking of food and weight all day long. The only thing is if I pack it in I am afraid I will put my weight all back on again. I feel like I’m trapped
Take care Denise
❤from a Geordie subscriber 🇬🇧 xxx
Thanks so much for your comment! I really appreciate your honesty! I am sorry to hear that you’ve been struggling to sustain your lower weight, but we all have our own weight that our body generally can stabilise at. I hope that you can feel free - I hope my future videos can be helpful to you and it may make you feel more happy. Take care of yourself lovely ❤️ xx
What a lovely reply. Thank you 🥰
I wonder if you need a diet break after dieting for so long. I don’t mean go off the wagon but just concentrate on maintenance your weight for a few weeks then start at it again after the break. Sometimes this can kick start a weight loss or just as Denise says all our bodies have their ideal weight whether you are 5’3 or 6 ft so don’t compare your ideal weight to someone with the same height or age. Our body is a complex piece of machinery and your mental health is just as important as your physical. I wish you well and hope you don’t remain feeling trapped as you describe as there is always a way out it’s just you giving yourself permission to find it. Good luck
@Summerrose400 great advice! Thank you for sharing such a lovely comment to another person in our community! Xx
Thank you for your advice.
I’m going on holiday today. I think I will try and give my self a break while on my holiday
Thanks for your support both of you
❤from 🇬🇧
You are definitely doing the right thing and I have also recently reached the same conclusion! I definitely have disordered eating as I have been dieting for decades. Yesterday we had breakfast out and I sat there looking at the menu & realised that it’s years since I ordered something I wanted instead of whatever has the lowest calories even if I don’t want it! We are in the process of moving house and there is so much stress involved that I feel what I eat is the lowest priority right now! The boxes are way too expensive! I hope you feel better soon ❤
Hi Vanessa, thank you so much. Thank you for also sharing your experience with me, I am shocked at how many people are feeling or thinking the same too. I hope your house move goes smoothly, and wish you the best for your new home too! Thank you for your well wishes and I really appreciate your kindness ❤️ xx
I left because of the reasons you mentioned. ❤❤I pray you are well, and yes glad you left, that doesn't seem healthy. It made me obsess, have so much food anxiety 😢Jessy 😍
Hi Jessy, thank you so much for sharing your experience with me. I am sorry to hear that you had anxiety and obsession with it all. I hope you are doing well now and take care. Best wishes, Denise x
@@ScottishFoodieLassie thank you so much iam much better with calorie counting. But must still choose wisely what I eat 😘
Thank you for being so honest, we all need a break sometimes! I’ve been doing SW for 18 months now and am about 5lbs from target and I must admit this last bit has been the hardest and I’ve been yo-yo-ing for ages, but I’m determined to get there, not only because it’s my target but so I can keep going for free 😂. I agree with you on the kitchen meals, why would you pay those prices when you can buy a fully prepped meal from Iceland for similar prices which you just have to throw in the microwave 🧐 anyway best of luck with your calorie counting, I’ll still be following you to see how you get on. Take care and get well soon xx
Hi Liz! Thank you for watching my video, I really appreciate it. I’m sorry to hear that you’ve had some challenges with the last few pounds, perhaps changing up your food choices or planning a menu may help?
Thank you so much for continuing to support me, and I am glad you understand where I am coming from. Take care and I hope you enjoy the future content too! Xxx
Hello,well you have been very unwell,sorry to hear that.I’m with SW have lost three stone and a couple of lbs to target.I’ve been overweight most of my life ,and SW really works for me.Having said that had a couple of false starts due to the consultant,now after changing groups and finding the best consultant ever who talks much more about what’s going on in your head and not focusing too much on what you’re eating.I do blind weigh ins every week so only really know I’ve lost when I get another award (two stone , two half stone) it has really worked for me not knowing what the scales are saying.There are so many other factors related to losing weight and definitely not only what the scales say .We are all very different and weather you are or not doing SW i will still follow you,good luck and just keep being consistent.
Hi Kim, thank you for your well wishes! SW has worked for me, after following it for 52 weeks religiously! I am glad that it works for you and that you’ve found a consultant who cares and who you can relate to, and feel comfortable with too. I am going to be weighing at home, and my husband and I are both going to use MyFitnessPal on a daily basis to track our food/calories and we will both weigh in at home together too. I really appreciate your comment, and kindness too. I hope you enjoy my future videos as well. Take care! Xx
Hi Denise I really felt for you as can see you have been through it lately are you going to stick to calorie counting and healthy food choices from now on then ?
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your kindness and support - I know this decision is the best one for me, glad you understand why ❤️ I will be using MyFitnessPal to track my calories each day.
I feel the same way at the moment but i do need to be accountable to someone x
Hi Danielle, thank you so much. My husband and I are now doing calorie counting on MyFitnessPal together, and we weigh in/check in with each other. We both need accountability, but I do understand how you feel about going to get weighed too. In a previous job, we had a weigh in morning and everyone’s weight was kept confidential, but it did help people stay on track! Xx
Good luck Denise. I will still be watching and supporting you. Hope you’re on the mend now. I know from past experience how SW can mess with your head. You can do it ! ❤
Thank you so much! I am so glad that you will stick around and watch my future content. I am sorry to hear that you’ve had similar past experience too, we are all deserving of the best for what we want to achieve! X
So pleased you are getting better, I tried to do SW but could not do it for the reasons you have highlighted in this vlog, I love cc so much, good luck with your new journey xx
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and experiences. I am glad I’m not alone, and do feel that many people are feeling a similar way to how I have done recently. I hope you enjoy my new videos! Xx
Hi, you have got to do what is right for you, I shall definitely still watch your videos. I love how honest you are, can’t wait for future videos, thanks for still sharing your journey. Hope you’re feeling well now x
Thank you so much. I really do appreciate that you’re going to still watch my videos and, share my journey too. Thanks for your understanding ❤️
I think you’ve made a wise decision. Slimming World works but doesn’t always make sense. I’ll still be watching your videos. Sorry you’ve been so unwell. xx
Hi Jane, thank you so much. I am so glad that you’ll continue to watch my channel and I appreciate your well wishes! I am still not feeling great, I had a few days of feeling better after my antibiotics finished, but feeling a bit bad again today. The fatigue is unreal! Have a lovely week xx
Weight loss is all about the headspace. You have all the skills and knowledge just need to balance your food intake. Focus on what is good for you and managing the portion control. personally my cravings for sugar and the rubbish has gone. I no longer want it as my body has changed and my diet has changed and my body no longer wants it. Calorie awareness works but make what you do eat be calories that nourish and feed you for the good. A day at a time and a lot of days will mount to a great deal.
Hi Helen! Thanks so much. I’m really grateful for your understanding and insight into why I made this decision. I always prioritise protein, and this does help me feel fuller for longer and less likely to snack on sweet things. I am feeling empowered by calorie counting already and enjoying what I am eating! I appreciate your words of support ❤️ thank you xx
I feel exactly the same- I’ve have switched over to calories using Nutra check because I noice some unhealthy habits beginning to form.
Thank you Yolanda! Well done on noticing unhealthy habits, you just can’t underestimate how important that is to recognise within ourselves! I haven’t used Nutracheck before. Is it similar to MyFitnessPal? Xx
I am so glad to see you back I thought you must be ill I admire your courage to leave slimming world for me it’s the account ability if I wasent there there’s nights I would say ah well one Chinese will be ok I’ve now lost 3-11 lbs so o words and upwards take care. 🎉😊
Thank you so much Antonia. You know me, I’ll always bounce back! Well done on your fantastic weight loss, a fantastic achievement ❤️ I hope you enjoy my new videos xx
@@ScottishFoodieLassie I’m sure I will x
Hope your feeling better by now I'm glad that you are honest about slimming world I agree with you you can easily become obsessed with what you put in our mouths once slimming world get hold of your head it can poison your mind just enjoy life it does show that it's a money game xx
Hi Rose, thank you so much. I am still not feeling great if I am honest but taking a day at a time. Hoping I will be back to normal (whatever that is 😂) by the beginning of next week. Thank you for your understanding and kindness about my decisions and struggles that I’ve had! Xx
Sorry to hear you've been so unwell! I think it takes so much to move away from what you're used to when you can see that it's creating an unhealthy mindset, I really respect you for that. Unfortunately no matter what form of weight loss you're pursuing there's toxic elements to it, it really takes a lot to keep your head above water and I wish you all the best ❤
So true! Thank you so much, Heather. I am so glad of your kindness and support. I’m grateful for your understanding, and hope that you will enjoy my future video content too xx
Best of luck Denise I’ll continue watching you’re great
Thank you so much ❤️ I am very grateful for your continued support xx
You make so much sense in what you are saying you are doing the right thing sometimes it is good to step back and try something new all the best 👍🏻
Thank you so much, Lesley! Looking forward to food freedom ❤️ xx
Phew Denise i thought u were going for good. So glad you are still going to be on You Tube. I love all of your videos. Oh My God you hablve really been through it bless you. Sending you Big hugs. I totally understand why you are leaving SW. I weigh in Sunday and every Saturday i really deprive myself and it sort of spoils my weekend. Also im in mindset that I cant go above 8 syns!!!! So although Im still loosely doing SW . I am concentrating of fitness. You are one amazing lady you have achieved so much and will continue to. Look forward to your future videos xxx
Hi Sue, thanks so much that you are going to continue to support me. I am sorry that I have been unable to make videos, I still do not feel that good. I’m about 70-80% better today, but hoping I get better in a few days. I am sorry to hear that you are having your own challenges regards Syns and deprivation - you are worth so much more. I hope my future videos will be useful and interesting for you xx
Glad your feeling better ❤.
I will keep watching you.
Thank you so much! I am glad you’re going to stick around to support me. I really do appreciate it ❤️
Glad you're on the mend, Denise. I missed your channel as I too have been in hospital having a hip replacement but now on the road to recovery. My husband is looking after me well but it means my food is simply that, nutrition to get me through the day. I will go back to class in about six/eight weeks and the scales will say whatever. I applaud your thinking because if alarm bells start to go off in your head, you must listen to them. I look forward to your new content and definitely won't hold it against you if you don't mention 'syn values'! I agree with you about the SW boxes. I think they've made a huge mistake with this one but only time will tell. Take care and sending you hugs 😘 xx
Hi Karen, I am so sorry that you’ve been in hospital. I hope your recovery is going well at the moment! I’m glad that you have a lovely husband supporting you at home, and I am sure that your nutritional needs will be met very well indeed. I am glad you’re going to stick around with me, and hope you enjoy my future videos! Please take care and rest up xx
@@ScottishFoodieLassie ❤
So glad you're on the mend Denise. As you say, once you start to feel guilty about enjoying food, it's time for a break. You've done fantastically, having the knowledge to know what works for you and James makes this the best decision for you. I love your videos and will continue to watch and learn from your knowledge. Good luck to you both and enjoy xx
Thank you very much, Susan. I am glad that you are going to continue to support me and watch my channel - that really does mean the world to me. Thank you and I hope you enjoy the new videos! Xx
Glad you are starting to feeling better. Good luck with what ever you do. I will still be watching your journey xx
Thank you so much! I am so grateful for your kindness and support, Fiona. I hope you enjoy my future videos too xx
I am a SlimmingWorlder but I really do feel it creates really unhealthy relationships with food. You have done wonderfully to loose 60lb. So glad you are sticking with CZcams.
Hi Lis, thank you so much for your understanding. I feel quite free, but it will take some time to adjust. I am so glad that I have gotten as far as I have, but this last part I need to do mindfully, for my own wellbeing. Thank you so much for supporting me! ❤️
So glad you’ve made the decision to leave slimming world. It sounds like you have a bad relationship with the diet.I myself got to the point where I was taking laxatives to loose weight bad ideas but although I put some weight on I do nutracheck which I find better 29 pounds a year .i will continue to follow your advice and keep up with your journey so sorry to hear that you have been so ill glad your better now wishing you all the best for your future journey take care my dear friend 🎉
Hi Lesley, thanks so much for your support. I have taken laxatives too, and can understand where you are coming from with that too. I haven’t tried Nutracheck as use MyFitnessPal, what is the difference? I am feeling rather rubbish again today, but I am in bed relaxing after a nap earlier this evening. Hope I can shift this virus for good in the very near future! I’m so glad that you’re going to stick around to watch my journey and channel - thank you ever so much! ❤️ xx
Denise i really in joy the video but I am fine sw has helf me but I lost 5 stone and than as I told you I have accident and I have but 3stone on and I have went back but I am upand down and it is really getting to me could you please help me ias the sins are getting to me thank you sending you all my love and hugs ❤❤
Hi Marie, thanks for watching! How can I help? I will be posting my next video as part of using MyFitnessPal. Hopefully this will be of interest and support for you! Take care and thanks for continuing to support me ❤️ xx
Hi Denise
Well Done for being so honest - SW is a low fat diet that works but its also can be very unhealthy too. A lot of low syn foods are very over processed & the healthy foods are high in syns🤔
I have learnt so much about nutrition which I 🙏🏽 SW for but i never do their plan. I enjoy a lot of foods they demonise & like to eat as part of my day to day diet.
I cook my own food most days have a few meals out but eat plenty of protein fats & veg.
I find the Zoe channel & a brill usa lady called Dani Spiers Clean & Delicious really informative & there is also an ex SW consultant called Kieron who does Grow based on SW & Cal Count. Ive seen a few ex consultants quietly quit SW & do different plans to keep control of their weight.
So sorry to hear about ur illness & hope ur recovery goes well.
I think u should get to ur 6st call target continue with SW as a target member & weigh in for free every few weeks. Use this year to eat how u want to & not gain it back. There is no law that says u can't cal count & go to SW group. The plan is roughly based around 1500-1800 cals. I personally didn't see the point in counting syns & ignoring the nutrition info on the packets.
You have worked really hard to get where u are & group support is so important.
Glad ur not quitting utube & getting lots of support from ur utube fam🎉😳🙌🏾
Hi Dionne! Thanks for watching and commenting. I want to thank you very much for sharing your insight and experience. I have heard of the Zoe channel and have read up on some of their research which is fantastic. I will look into the others that you’ve mentioned! Thanks for your support and understanding of what I am trying to achieve! Have a lovely evening xx
@@ScottishFoodieLassie Hi Denise sorry to mither again but just binge watching some of ur old vids & shocked u did SW for so long😆🤣😂
Can i ask How often were u doing the to good to go bags? Omg some of the foods looked so delicious as i love bakery stuff.
I can see u are a m&s girl which i like to do once a month & taste test with Aldi as where i do my main shop they are next door to each other.
The difference with u from a year ago is amazing - it just goes to show the type of foods u eat are so important. The bad stuff taste so good but i have to learn how to navigate the hurdles to also enjoy the foods i love.
I didnt realise u were a nurse. Its such a shame that so many of u are paying to do SW the NHS should really have a weight loss programme for their own staff at the very least.
From a selfish point of veiw i cant wait to see the types of foods u choose. I have focused on eating my protein since Jan this year & dont snack between meals which is a real bonus. I have never paid attention to how many protein grams I eat but it has made a big difference & i do enjoy it.
Im sure after reading the comments u will get tons of support.
Good Luck on ur New Journey🙏🏽
@dionnereid1737 hello!
I did TGTG for a few months, lots of different offerings and deals. Sadly, it isn’t as easy or cheap to get a TGTG bag now as they changed the format! Most of the food was excellent, some was absolutely the worst ever though.
We shop in Tesco, Food Warehouse and M&S as the three shops are in the same retail park. We do also like Aldi, but not ideally close to us and the road set up puts us off driving down that way (20min tailbacks!).
Thank you, I don’t work in the NHS any longer, but there does need to be more support and research to support health care professionals in achieving healthier lifestyles for various reasons.
I have had a good week of food and I must admit, I have enjoyed my food more and have had more food freedom to enjoy planning and buying food too!
I look forward to updating you in my next video ❤️ xx
Hope all is well but I have to say good luck to anyone trying to get ‘therapy’ for eating disorders! I’ll still follow what your doing so look after your own mental health. You have amazing insight.
Thank you so much, Linda. I am so glad I have you behind me! Xx
I do think SW can take over sometimes. It’s like if I have cereal for breakfast and want pitta bread for lunch - but then not have it because I’ve already had my HEB. I like avocados and like you say if you want to pick a 400 calorie meal etc you get put off because of the syn value. That’s really bad. I would be upset too. My friend has taken a break from SW as her mind isn’t in it at the minute , and she let the consultant know and she was very supportive about it. Yes, the SW online box thing does seem expensive. It’ll be cheaper to go and buy the stuff yourself. 😮xxxxx
Hi Claire, thank you for sharing your experience with me.
It has surprised me as to how many people have said similar things to you, and feel similar to how I do too! I have been enjoying having a little of what I want and loving it. Breakfast is Pro-Milk protein shake, mid morning is a yakult light, lunch is a frozen SW lunch pot, ringos and a lighter cheese portion, afternoon snack is a special K berry bar and dinner has been whatever I fancy within my calories but aiming for protein +++!
I am looking forward to getting into the 14s. That’s my next goal 🥳 thanks for supporting me and sharing my thoughts! Xxx
Highly recommend nutracheck if you’re calorie counting, much better than mfp and only costs about £25 per year.
Thank you! I have been using the free trial and so will consider buying it once I’ve used up my trial to see if I like it! 😊 thanks for watching my video.
You’ve made a decision which is right for you right now. You’ve learnt enough from SW to take bits from that and from when you lost using My Fitness Pal before too. I’ve been doing SW since Feb but I only do it online, I don’t need the extra support as I’m focused enough and have the support from my husband. I know at some point I won’t keep paying as I’ll have learnt enough. I don’t have any interest in their boxes at all. I’m happy when the meals are 3 for £10 at Iceland and if not I’ll make it from scratch, or use my slow cooker on busy days. I think the day you choose to weigh yourself at home matters too. I love doing it on a Monday morning, it’s the start of a new week and makes me more focused, so now you have that choice too to change it up to what suits you best.
Hope you continue to feel better and get out and about in your new car.
Good luck with this new chapter, you’ll be fine I’m sure of it x
Hi Natalie, thank you so much for your kindness and encouragement. I am still buying the meals from Iceland, just like you. The 3 for £10 deal is good and saves time a few times a week for lunches at work. Takes the hassle away from many things, and I am looking forward to seeing how I feel about which day to weigh in. I think a Saturday does give me a little boost but always, can have a little treat on the weekend then back to it on the Sunday! I am ever so grateful for your kindness and support and encouragement, I really am very lucky! Xx
Oh no I hope you are ok your Channel is wonderful xxx
Hi AnneMarie, I have been through a bit of a rough time with being ill and everything has been put into perspective. I’m so grateful for your support and following! Xx
Can you please do a review of my fitness pal, how it helps with weight loss and staying on track etc. Many thanks 👍
My next video will be live in the next day or two. It will include some information that may be helpful to you! Stay tuned ❤️
I applaud you and your decision. Not only discovering your unhealthy mindset but you’ve done something about it in a positive way.
Thank you so much, lovely. I am quite proud of myself that I was able to recognise it within myself, I never would have done this before. Thank you so much for continuing to support me! X
Hi Lovely, I’m a very new subscriber but I’m not going to unsubscribe simply because you’re no longer doing SW.
I respect your decision, only you know how you feel and once you get an inkling of a disordered way of thinking about food it’s time to change because it can happen so quickly. I actually started to feel obsessive about food when I was doing calorie counting, so we’re all different and we have to listen to ourselves.
Regarding your consultant, although I think she was being very shortsighted from a business perspective I think you’re probably reading too much into it. I don’t think your comment necessarily warranted a response and I don’t think she was being intentionally rude, but I do get it, you feel like you’ve built up a relationship with someone and it really doesn’t take much to send a little emoji and a best wishes text.
Please don’t feel guilty about not trying the food boxes. They don’t look that great and I think they’re extortionate.
Good luck with your new journey xx
Hi Ladymeringue! Thank you so much for sticking around - some people have left already, so I do appreciate you staying ❤️ I didn’t want to rush into the decision, but did need to make a prompt decision to regain control and I’m proud of myself for that, and for seeing the issues for myself. I never would have been able to value myself or my feelings like this before! Thank you so much, keep an eye out for the next video ❤️ x
I needed this thank you ❤
You’re welcome Rose. Thank YOU for watching and supporting me. I really appreciate it x
@@ScottishFoodieLassieCan't wait to see where your new journey takes you 💖 and i can relate about salad boxes i have also started calorie counting i can only get so far with sw this time around x
I have now re subscribed back to your channel now that you have left s/w!!
I did s/w on and off for years... never got to target...because its too restrictive!!
We should be able to eat whatever we want to as long as we are in a calorie deficit... I use nutracheck now and get on much better with it ❤
Hi Alison, welcome back. I am sorry to hear that you unsubscribed.
I am enjoying using MyFitnessPal but have downloaded nutracheck to decide on which one I prefer! I’m glad you’re getting on better with your current method for weight management 😊
I’ll still watch your videos Denise even though i attend SW, you have to do what’s best for you ❤ I know where you’re coming from with the eating less before weigh day. I get weighed on a Thursday so starve myself on the Wednesday, always have done. Take care and all the best ❤ Xx
Thank you so much for sticking with me! I really appreciate your lovely words of support ❤️
Hi Denise, you must do what is right for you. I do agree that the slimming world food boxes are too expensive and there doesn't seem to be any incentives for paying members. My son also goes to slimming world and he said it's not worth the money for the cook boxes. To be honest I said you're better off just buying the frozen meals because they are already done for you and there is less washing up. I am struggling with losing weight at the moment but I will give slimming world a bit longer because my willpower is awful. I hope you are feeling much better and it's lovely to see you. Take care my lovely kind regards Angeline 😊xx
Hi Sargee - thanks so much for your comment. Yes, the boxes are very expensive and I do think it is a real shame that members aren’t being prioritised or supported with this new venture. I hope that you will enjoy my next video - and I hope that your weight loss journey remains stable. Take care! Xx
You have made the very best decision - well done for acknowledging those red flags - even though I don’t know you, I’m proud of you for that! x
Hi Jo! Thank you ever so much. The red flags were alarm bells, and I did need to consider my options, but move quickly as well as I didn’t want my decision making to be skewed. I feel I have made the best decision for me now. Thank you so much for your kindness and understanding too! I hope you enjoy my future videos Xx
Hope you are ok and still recovering x
Thank you Deborah! I am feeling OK - hoping to keep riding the wave of feeling good. My next video will be going live soon 😊 xx
Sorry to hear this but you have to do what's good for you I'm staying with SW it works for me I've tried everything else in the past I need the group I've lost nearly 2 stone so far I for one won't be buying the new boxes and I'll carry on watching you so good luck x
Hi Julie, thanks so much for your understanding. The kitchen boxes are very expensive and a real shame that members cannot even save money to try them out, no incentives are available. I’m so glad you’re going to stick around to watch me and support my channel! Thank you! ❤️ xx
Why Ithis has really upset me hope all is ok
Hi Michele, I have left Slimming World for the goodness of my own health and wellbeing. Hopefully you will stick around to watch my progress as I go it alone! Xx
Good luck with your new journey ❤ will see you in your next video xx
Thank you! I am so grateful. See you on the next video ❤️xx
Oh wow. I was sad when when I saw the thumbnail. I even said a prayer for you. I didn't think you would be a person who did clickbait. Good luck on your jouney.
Hi Katie, thank you very much for your support!
It's your decision Denise hope everything goes well. Look forward to your next weigh in.x
Thank you so much, Doreen! I’m looking forward to my weigh in at home too xx
Morning glad you are feeling a bit better, give yourself time, you can't recover overnight as you know. i am looking forward to following your future journey. xxx Lesley xxx
Thank you very much, Lesley! Today is the first day I’ve felt nearly back to my usual self. It has taken longer than expected, if I’m honest! Hoping you are having a good week so far. Take care xx
Hi Denise you look fabulous ❤I have followed you from the beginning and have gained so much inspiration from watching your channel. Thanks for everything and I am glad you are going to continue your channel. You are right to take a break and it was unfortunate your leader did not reply but you know you are making the right decision so well done you 🙂 enjoy your new weight loss journey and looking forward to your next video ❤
Thank you so much, I really am so glad to have people like you behind me. I am so pleased that you are going to follow me as I make this change, and hope that it will be helpful and enjoyable for you to watch! Have a lovely evening xx
Great to see you back and hope you are back to full health soon, you have to do what you feel is best for you regarding your weight loss journey , i am at target and struggling to maintain every week ,i put on a couple of pounds and then lose then back on , i was thinking of trying calorie counting to see if that would help me , good luck on your weight loss journey , i will keep watching your channel , take care ♥
Thank you so much, I do feel like I’ve made the right decision already. I feel happier about food and my choices available to me. I am using the MyFitnessPal app and have also downloaded Nutracheck. I want to see which one I prefer before I decide on it as MyFitnessPal is free but nutracheck has a small fee each month xx
Hopefully slimming world consultant has gotten back to you ? Love your new car. Sorry you have been so ill.
Slimming World will always be there when needed. ❤ I have reached my target weight
Hi Lizart40, I still haven’t had a reply from Saturday, unfortunately. I do feel a bit uneasy about it, if I’m honest! It is quite unsettling isn’t it? Expecting more from someone than what is reality. Thank you so much, I haven’t been feeling so well today and I’m in bed resting up. Well done on reaching your target weight, you should be very proud of yourself! Xx
Smashing I got a wee fright there lol as I just found your channel yesterday and subscribed. Xx
Hi Angela! Thanks so much for subscribing, sorry to give you a wee fright! I hope you are doing well and thank you for supporting me ❤️ xx
How you doing? I hope your health has improved? Thinking of you
Hi Liz, nice to hear from you. I have been recovering but now feeling back to usual just over the last few days. I have recorded my newest video, but slight delay to upload it. Please keep your eyes peeled for it. I hope you are keeping well! Xx
Glad your feeling better, do what best for you, I still watch your viedos, i weigh every morning and everytime I eat
I appreciate that, Chanel. Weighing every morning and every time you eat sounds concerning. I hope you are OK x
@@ScottishFoodieLassie yer I am thank you, have a lovley day
I could go on and on about slimming worls. All I'll say is you are better off counting calories and you've made the right move.
Hi Dennis, thanks so much for your encouraging words. I feel free already!
would you ever do a too good to go bag again?
Possibly! They are more options available to me, now that I’m doing calorie counting on my fitness pal xx
Hi I've been loads of times at the end of the day your paying their wages so don't feel bad it's your body think everyone get in a rut with it you do what you need to do honey x
Catherine, I am so grateful for your support. I’m glad that you understand, and hope that you will continue to watch my content moving forward! Xx
Denise, do what is right for you - you have no obligation to anyone else, it is your body. Just keep posting here when you can!
Hi GH! Thanks so much, I really do appreciate your kindness and understanding. I hope you will stick around for my next part of my journey! X
Noooo!!!
Don’t worry, I am not leaving CZcams, but I have left Slimming World. It hasn’t been a decision I’ve taken lightly, but it did need to happen promptly! X
❤❤
Dearest Denise ♡ I am terribly sorry that you have been so ill! You poor woman! I am sending lots of love, hugsxx & support your way, along with healing prayers for your speedy recovery. I am very happy to hear that you will be doing what is best for your health regarding healthy eating! I have been on a diet of one sort or another for the majority of my life. I even had weight loss surgery 14 years ago now. I have been morbidly obese 3 times. This led me to have disordered eating. I am glad that you are making the necessary changes to avoid becoming like me! I am no longer on a diet. I just can't do it anymore. I am instead going to try a different approach, weight loss & and maintenance. I hope that it what I do next will help me with my very unhealthy relationship with food. I wish you well on your continued journey!
Loving your channel rebrand Roe! Great channel name!
@SFLJames hi James! How are you and thanks very much for your support! Xx
Hi Roe, thank you very much for your support, and for sharing where you are at in your own journey. We need to do what is right for us, and I do hope that you find peace in doing so. Wishing you the best of luck with wellness and enjoying life! Xx
Hi Denise big hugs that would have been a hard vlog to do on many levels, you have been doing some hard soul looking and still have a raspy voice.
James awesome for getting you ice cream as much as your head screaming nope how many SYNS....it did you physically good and so soothing but mentally it helped turn the switch.
I have worried a couple of times over time I have watched when you have mentioned limiting food pre weigh but as a stranger on Internet did not know how to mention so I am glad you have in your own time and way decided to change things.....had I felt over a consistent time worried I would have found a way.
Looking back over the year you have come a long way learnt so much about changing eating and mindset and that it is a life long change not only what you eat but why you eat and now exploring how you use all that has been learnt and apply in a way you can sustain for life and that is fabulous.
I am chuffed you fully used all inclusive options for holiday it was well needed.
I am still plodding with SW a 1lb a week and heck that is OK as I balance previous knowledge of how I lose weight with SW and although I would love big weekly loss I know my slow but sure way will mean I keep it off but equally I will not feel bad about having a Rock Cake from batch I have just done for my son in law....Baker has to taste product me thinks.
I am off to Glasgow on Wednesday and need to find a Greek, Indian and Fish place to eat for my daughter while she goes off for another tattoo where to start lol
All before we see
Thirty Seconds To Mars.....
So big hugs again and wil see you on the next one ❤x
Hi Dormouse 👋🏻 we had awesome Greek food at a restaurant called Halloumi recently!
@@SFLJames
TQ so much James it is always great if somewhere is recommended and that will be a happy daughter 😋😊
Hi Dormouse, thank you so much for being so kind and understanding! I really do appreciate your support and ability to see it from my perspective too. I really do hope that you have a fantastic time in Glasgow. Glasgow city centre is jam packed of amazing restaurants and I hope that you have a lovely time with your daughter. Please have the best time at 30 Seconds to Mars too! Say hello to them for me 😂❤️ xx
Wow spots AND stripes am I tripping 😂
Thanks for watching 😊
You are better going to marks Spencer for good food and it last well I got the veg bag it was great I made couscous with it very filling sw kitchen box too expensive for most people 🐝🧵🐝
Thanks for the tip! I will keep an eye out for the little bags and things that I can now enjoy more of. Looking forward to enjoying real food and freedom! Xx
