My connection to my Weight Watchers meeting throughout
the years has been really big for me. I
often describe it as my “home” and it is what centers me and keeps me
grounded. I’ve been feeling in limbo for
a few months now. I think partly it has
to do with my most recent leader Donna officially retiring. I am also on a day shift schedule with
weekends off, which is very rare, and has thrown off my usual meeting
time/day/location. For whatever reason
through, I’ve been feeling like I’m flailing around similar to a fish out of
water and I so desperately need to get back into water. My survival depends on it!
On top of feeling like I don’t have a WW home, I have
been playing a lot of scale games. Since
I wanted to start doing my WI on Saturday, before I knew it, I was avoiding
Saturday WI because of how my Friday would go.
I had a pep talk with myself and decided I needed to get to a meeting
ASAP and I would go Monday morning, regardless of what the scale said. Of course I was expecting the worst and I
avoided my home scale just so I wouldn’t talk myself out of going to the
meeting.
Much to my surprise, I had a 1 pound loss. I have not seen a loss in six weeks. It felt very good and very motivating!
As I was doing my WI, the gal weighing me in, Susan, is
our territory manager and leader on Tuesday nights in Meridian. She knows me and commented that I was
confusing her by attending a meeting that wasn’t my usual. I almost started crying when I told her I was
struggling to find a meeting that fit me, a leader that I meshed with, and
meeting members I could click with. (I
do love my Monday night meeting members, I’m just not crazy about the
leader). Susan highly recommended the
leader, Rebecca, which I met at the Friday morning meeting a few weeks ago in
Meridian. I did like her and I really
liked the meeting members in Nampa on Monday morning. They are quite a bit older than me but I
chatted with a few after the meeting.
I think I’ve found my new home. Having a Monday WI day will hopefully keep me
accountable to not letting my weekends go crazy. You know I love to enjoy weekend activities
but I also want to continue to be successful to my WW program and my weight
loss journey.
After the meeting I went to Crunch Fitness and walked
on the treadmill for 1.5 miles. It felt
good to be back at it.
