Well... as you can see... im a happy girl!!
I went thinking that I would be the only new starter and I'd feel all odd not knowing what to do etc.... but it wasnt like that at all!
When i got there there were about a dozen other new starters!! some had been years ago but some were totally new like me! So I didnt feel like the new girl at all!!
Then at the begining all the new people had an introduction session where we went through the book and 'how to' was explained! Its all really easy - and i felt like i couldnt wait to get going!
Then after that is was a special night because they were having slimmer of the year award.... so three ladies had been chosen and they all told us how much they have lost so far and how it made them feel, then we got to vote on who should be slimmer of the year!
After that because it was a special night they had a little buffet on, where all the members had brought a small amount of 'slimming food' they told us how they had cooked it, and how many syns there was in it (or not as was mostly the case!) and we got to eat it! :rotfl:
Then the new people had their way in! I was dreading it... wondering if she would gasp at my weight! but..... she didnt! and as i always do i said all embarrassed.... "I have alot to go dont i! im a big girl!" and she just looked at me and said.... I had more to lose - you can do it!
And that was it! I paid my fee, recieved some lovely free fridge magnets with recipies on and went off home!!
Today has been brilliant! Ive eaten LOADS of fruit which is 'free food' and ive had cheese and ryvita and milk, and Ive just put in the oven a lovely smelling dish called Zesty cod parcels - with loads of Veg in the steamer... and the whole of dinner has NO syns in it! You can have ten syns a day, and up to now I have had 3 and a half! (so im sat wondering what I can have for 6 and a half syns!) :rotfl::rotfl:
When I got home last night the first thing i did was log onto the slimming world website (you get a different password each week so you can log in) A VERY clever way of making sure your clients have to pay to use the facility ever week!
Its so nice to hear all of you 'egging' me on and some of you beinig inspired to get healthy yourselves!! Im so glad that i posted my feelings about it! I think that so often weight becoomes a guilty taboo subject - and ther eis just no need for it to be!
Thank you all!!! Next installment soon! I'm off to read up on some new recipe ideas for tomorrow now!! Its a green day tomorrow so something with lots of pasta or rice!! and a little meat too as a healthy extra of course!! With as much veg as i can fit in!!
I have to say its just a little scary.... not knowing anyone there, not knowing if im going to walk into a room full of skinny people, wondering if im going to be the fattest person there! But I AM going to do it!! 
O my goodness!!
