Taking a Step Back

Following the Slimming World diet has made me extremely constipated which has in turn caused the biggest hemorrhoids I have ever had in my entire life.  I am in so much pain it is not even funny and this has been going on for days now.  I'm conflicted because I know that SW is such a healthy way to eat, but I can't keep living with these digestive problems.  I'm taking a little break in hopes of getting better so I can give it another go.  I really think I may have been overdoing it on the rices and pastas.  I hadn't had either thing in over a year and I was so excited to get to eat them again.  I'm backing away from those completely for awhile and will try gradually adding them back in.  I will still post my daily food but it won't be in following with SW for a few days, or until I can sit properly again, lol.  I got on the scale this morning and had gained 3 lb.  I'm sure most of that was water since my fingers were so swollen I couldn't bend them, then I peed all morning long.  Plus, I hadn't really eaten anything all weekend long and I know not getting enough calories can cause a gain as well.  Hopefully it won't take too long at all to get back on track.
