Am I alone here? I'd love to go back to a SW class, but cannot abide the weigh ins. I'm not trying to opt out of accountability, but there are several issues that really make it impossible for me to go to a class. But I would like the general support from members.
As a teenager I was humiliated by parents who weighed me publically and commented very negatively....(even though I was actually at the bottom of a good natural weight range for my age around 7 and half stone - yep. They were sick. I know!) This was enough to do serious psychological damage. I won't go into it further. But needless to say, repeating the scenario of weighing in as an adult is very stressful.
Also, I dislike the queue in the class. It reminds me of farmers going to auction and weighing in cattle! Sorry! Must be my rural up-bringing. It just does! Mooo!
I obviously also hate it if I've put weight on. Which sadly is part of the weight loss process from time to time.
I would just love to go back to a group and see people, much as it's great online. But not sure what I can do about this.
