People who get it...




This might seem very obvious ... but how many people don't understand why we want to lose weight?
Nine times out if ten its not a number on the scales... it's being able to throw on a sleeveless dress in the summer and not feel crap about yourself... it's being able to try something on in a shop and not have a complete meltdown... It's about walking out the front door and not having to double and triple check that your lumps and bumps are covered... Even if those close to you don't get it.. you have to surround yourself with those who do... First place you'll find them is in your class... I don't see any of my fellow classmates all week, maybe in the supermarket but we don't hang out together... Yet, every Wednesday we take an hour to ourselves, spend our money on wanting to feel better about ourselves and we can talk about our weight loss journey, the ups and downs... we can calculate Smartpoints in things... ask questions that will get answers and learn tips and tricks that just might be the one thing to give us that little boost that we need and no one ever leaves feeling like they can't do it... I learn something new at my meeting every week... from my leader or from the other members... recipes, new products that are low in SPs, tricks to stretch my points... 

if you don't go to a meeting, there are so many amazing groups you can join, FB, Instagram, twitter, Snapchat.. you can surround yourself with other people doing the same journey and when you feel a bit low you've a world of support at your fingertips... so don't feel like you have to do the journey alone... you don't... if you're loved ones think 'you're lovely the way you are...' but you aren't happy, then find the support somewhere else until they realise that you really mean business!

  2. Yes! This post is spot on. I have found it so helpful to go to weight watcher meetings for the reasons you mentioned in this post. Our leader liked to say: "we need our people."

  4. God I look forward to the day when an outfit for a day out doesn't automatically involve a cardigan x
