I finally went back to a WW meeting this morning. I kept postponing it because I didn't want to have a gain posted on my booklet. To me it is like getting a bad grade on your report card. Once it is printed it is official, there is no denying it. I had hoped that I could drop the weight I gained before the weigh-in so that when I did weigh, I could just grin, wipe my forehead and smugly look down on all those holiday gainers. Nope, instead I had to look shame faced at the weigh-in lady and hope, hope, hope it was not going to be as bad as I thought. As she weighed and recorded the weight, I looked at her hoping for some kind of expression. She gave me back my book, smiled and said "welcome back". I silently took the book, found a seat and prepared myself to see the damage. Yep, there it was, a gain of 5.4 pounds. The mental conversations begin: Okay, it could have been worse. This is what you expected. You are at a meeting, maybe this is what you need to stay on track.
It did feel good to attend the meeting. The meeting leader is a dear women named Anne. She is a good speaker and does a good job with whatever the topic of the week is. Today, ha ha , the topic was exercising. A very appropriate subject for me since I am not doing much of it. Now that I have bitten the bullet, it is kind of a relief. I plan to continue attending the meetings and weigh in weekly and hopefully, as in the past, it will help motivate me to stay with the program. I will not allow any more bad grades on my booklet. I just realized, it's kind of funny in ww world a + is bad and a - is good.
Heres to hoping!
