Losing weight with ME (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) HELP!!!

Hello there fellow brides-to-be!!

I've recently been diagnosed with ME (also knows as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) which means I can't avoid carbs, I need plenty of protein, I can't excercise too much (it will knacker me RIGHT out and cause me serious discomfort) and I have to eat 4 or 5 times a day to keep my energy levels up. I get married at the end of August 2013, so I have almost a year to drop two dress sizes. I'm currently a size 18 and I'd like to be a size 14 for my big day ?

All the usual diets are a no-go, INCLUDING Slimming World (which I love and I previously swore by) I'm at a loss as to what to do!! Does anyone have any tips or advice?

Lots of love

Abigail x

    Hi sweetie! Thanks for your message Smiley smile

    I'm currently on a waiting list to see a specialist about my diet and excercise, I've no idea how long I'll be waiting! My current activity level is quite low, I have a little dog that I walk once a day for about 15 minutes. I do a little tidying and walk to my local shops most days. That's about it. I eat relatively healthily, lots of pulses, grains, fresh fruit and veggies, chicken and fish. My problem is that I have a pretty big appetite. And I've noticed since being poorly, that I have to snack between meals to keep my energy up. I only drink on weekends as it makes me quite tired. I don't currently attend any support groups but I've found a couple of forums online that offer quite a lot of advice and support Smiley smile

    Any help &/or information would be FAB! Thanks again for your message and I look forward to your response.
