Always, Alli

I went to my first Weight Watcher’s meeting on Saturday. It was a lot easier since I had a friend there and she basically talked me through the whole meeting. Margaret was really sweet when I showed up and panicked because I didn’t have a checkbook (we don’t have a checkbook!) or cash… so she paid my meeting fee for me. I was able to asked her questions and hear a little bit of her story.

After the meeting the leader, Cindy, met with me and went over the program. Margaret stayed with me then as well, which was nice. She told me later it was kind of like a shot in the arm for her, since she hadn’t been for several weeks.

I weighed in, got my little started kit, and enjoyed the meeting. I really liked the leader, something I fretted over. Since my sister has been doing WW, she has had several leaders and said having a leader you like really makes a difference. Margaret agreed and reassured me Cindy is really sweet and inspiring. Cindy showed me her pictures from her 80 plus pounds of weightloss and just right there I was inspired.

Going to meetings are strongly stressed in the WW program. And I know I was scared to make that commitment. But if I want to make any progress in this lifestyle change, I need to get over myself and admit I need the help. So meetings will be a part of it.
I’m looking forward to going back Saturday, even if I haven’t lost a pound.
