I’ve just lost my mojo with SW. I live alone and suffer from depression and M.E. I struggle with making meals, I just can’t be bothered cooking for one or I just can’t think what to make for my dinner at night. I have good food in the house but I usually end up eating apples and yoghurts (1/2 syn each). I’ve also started having treats which I know I shouldn’t but I’m an emotional eater. Sorry for the moan. Good luck this week at weigh in. Take care Cher
@clairemariehowardАй бұрын
It’s so difficult when you lose your mojo 😕 I do feel you that has absolutely been me recently and I too am an emotional eater I eat when I’m happy , sad , annoyed you name the emotion I’ll eat it 🤦🏻♀️ I get home cooking for one if I wasn’t cooking for the others there are a lot of fights I wouldn’t bother but actually in other ways it would make my life so much easier 😂 just putting some ideas there sir fry would be my go to , jacket potato’s , make a Spag Bol or lasagne and freeze 3 of the 4 portions so it starts to cut down the amount of nights you have to cook going forward , also have you tried the slimming world meals at Iceland I think they really are good enough to have as a satisfying evening meal, plus take the thinking out of it you just have to choose and ping x hope you have a good week C x

Yes it's hard when you have lost your mojo we've been like that for a few weeks if you want a moan you have one we all go through it but I'm the same least little thing throws me off it but we've been getting them SW frozen meals and we've been enjoying them but if you feel you want a natter I will be here for you take care xxxx🤗🤗🤗

Hi Claire I really love your videos there are so true to life I have been doing slimming world for must of my life get to goal then put it all back on 😢 I’m trying something new at moment still SW and still go to group but iv down loaded the nutra check app and checking my calories intake a day to keep it under . I think when SW say free food there not such a thing and feel but doing both maybe will get me a better result might be worth a try

Hey Joanne thank you ☺️ yeah it’s always good to try new things isn’t it? Free food by nature is lower in calories and fat but yes I know what you mean be interesting to see if your sw day and calorie counting days work out much different x

I really admire how transparent you are about how your journeys going, I find it so refreshing. Even now that I'm trying to lose a tiny bit more (getting to 10st would be nice but I don't think I've been that since I was about 15) but mostly maintaining I'm loading up my plate with pickles almost every meal, I started doing 7 days of meals TikToks and one of them I realised I'd had pickles almost every day 😂 I don't know whether to be embarrassed about that or not, I hope your week goes great x

Hey Heather absolutely don’t be embarrassed I love a pickle too 😂 what’s your TikTok id love to follow x so nice when you get near your target I sometimes aim for 11/11.5 but in reality between 11.5/under 12 I’m happy the lower of the two would be my pre 20s weight too 😂

I’ve lost my mojo too. I think we all do. I got into drinking wine every night so that needs to change. It’s so easy to just do. It looks like you had a fab holiday 😊❤ the sweet freedom syrups too. I have the chocolate one at the minute. I’ve got the slimming world magazine too. I need to try some more recipes. That lasagne looks delicious 😋 I really like our group, such a lovely bunch of people. I have to have a dressing too. I also love sweet chilli sauce. Meat is so expensive now. It’s ridiculous. Asda used to be cheap too but not anymore. Xxxxx

I’m really noticing the cost of food now I didn’t so much but now I’m constantly like that use to cost x and now it’s xxx the difference is massive! I think you are an extremely lucky focused individual if your journey is just straight there without losing your mojo or having an off week and also a rarity most of us have the ups and downs in with what life throws at us 🤷🏻♀️ Holiday was amazing it’s getting back into normal life I’m struggling with 🤣 have a good one xxxx

Hello Claire. Do hope you get your mojo back this week, it’s so frustrating when you can’t get your head in the game. I make my rice pudding in the slow cooker, using 85g rice to 300ml of diet cream soda, then when it’s cooked I stir through flavoured yoghurt, that’s optional it’s nice without too. No need to use hea., You might like to try it x Have a good week x
