I joined Weight Watchers October 13th to start losing. The WW I go to is a store front. There's a big window in the front but the curtain over it seems out of place and makes you think something suspicious is going on in there because you can just barely see through it. Upon opening the door, I was shocked to see so many people there on a Wednesday morning at 10:30am. After explaining which membership I wanted, I stepped on the dreaded scale and waited for shock to appear on the person behind the counter's face but it never happened (it should be noted there was also no comment like, "You don't look like you weight ###" either). I looked for a seat and listened to this older woman congratulate people with pins and bookmarks while giving advice on our upcoming week.
Since I spend most of my day with my children, it was kind of nice to be in a room of adults and just listen without interruption. How is it that every group of people has certain components? There is always a "Should we put our name at the top?" type of person in every group. They always feel compelled to speak up for no other reason than to hear their own voice. How is it that said type is ALWAYS completely confident that what they're saying is VERY insightful and the whole room must hear it? There's a big heavy man who alerted the whole room on his weight loss "tip" that he read on the internet. "The Chinese drink something warm before eating their meal, been doing it centuries," and then prattled on about the science of digestion and temperature. Later, he received a bookmark for hitting a goal perhaps I need to be more open to suggestion and his really wasn't that wacky.
The meeting ended and I had my Welcome talk with the older leader lady. She gave a great suggestion about Mexican Layered Chicken and reheating it throughout the week for a meal without much preparation. She was right, I liked it. I bet I would've had a great first week if only I didn't go on vacation and gain 2lbs!!
