Sticky
I will succeed!!!
Following on from Fern's thread about moaners at group, I thought I'd tell you what happened last night at mine, which nearly made me spit my hi-fi bar out!
So, I mentioned about a woman who always has a reason for not doing the plan. Well, last night I was a couple in front of her in the WI line and said to the WI lady that I wasn't expecting it to be good (I'll explain later why) and was very happy when I STS. As I was putting my shoes back on, the moaner lady said to someone else (under her breath) something along the lines of 'it makes you sick when people who don't need to be here still lose'. I looked up and another lass who'd been behind me was cheering for a 2lb loss.
Anyway, moaner sits facing me each week and she was chatting to the woman beside her and was moaning (again) about SW not working, and how she tries realllly hard. I was amused at that point as I'd seen her in Aldi and she was buying loads of junk (I thought at time it might have been for her family). As she's MOANING about not losing weight, she takes a lunch box from her bag and eats not 1, but 2 little wrapped cakes - the Aldi ones! Our C saw this and asked the syn value, to which she said 'dunno but it's my night off on WI night' (which is fair enough as some people do this). C said 'but [X] you've gained for the last 4 weeks so should you be starting NOW to get back on track?'. They got into a conversation where the C was saying how she feels like [X] is not letting her help anymore and she wanted to know what [X] wanted to do to turn it around and how C and the group could help her.
I tuned out then because she started on and on about it not working and to be honest, it's the same each week. I feel sorry for her because she comes every week without fail and to do that she does want to suceed, but she seems to be hell bent on not losing as she seems not to be trying anymore. This wouldn't bother me, but she's now seeming to be bitter about it and commenting on other members - which is not nice when they're trying to help. I think our C is losing patience too because of this new side to her. Shame really - we're all trying to help but it's like a wall has gone up around her.
How can I help her? I've tried passing on tips but she just back heels them with the excuse she works (?).
Anyway, I STS and to be honest I was happy it wasn't a gain. I've not been following plan 100% this week and found it hard to keep self motivated. I'm not worried because it's not like me to be so 'meh' about the plan, and I'm putting it down to being a bit tired and cranky this week. And I am just counting blessings it wasn't a gain. I wasn't massively bad, but I wasn't te usual me either.
So, this week I am coming back kicking and screaming onto plan. I'm only 0.5lb from my 1.5 total loss (1stone at group) and if I lost 2.5this week I get my club 10 too.
So - I'm doing i big time. Line is drawn under last week and looking forward to a new week and getting self back on track and back to losing.
Woo SW!!!
