Meetings

I don't know how most of you feel about meetings, but when my friend and I first started, we didn't think we were going to be staying for the meetings. We planned on just weighing in, staying for that first meeting, and then only weighing in after that. But we absolutely LOVED our leader, and we've stayed for all the meetings since then. Last Monday our leader was on vacation and the leader that filled in...well, I don't mean to be a downer, but she sucked. All we talked about for the whole meeting was how many points different restaurants were. I know the point she was trying to make was that what you might think is the best choice really isn't. Like you think you're being healthy because you pick the chicken sandwich, but then you find out it actually had more points than the double cheeseburger you really wanted in the first place. I told my friend I felt like the motto of that meeting was "just eat the double cheeseburger" and that wasn't what I needed after my weekend of splurging. We left feeling not very motivated. And I can honestly say I feel like it made a difference in how my week went. I didn't feel encouraged or inspired like I do from my normal leader. I guess there wasn't really a point to this message, just that I miss my leader and want him to hurry up and come back. And that I didn't realize how important a good leader is in my weight loss journey.
