Had a long hard think this morning about whether to continue to go to SW group or not. I got my 2 stone award today and my sticker is on my chart on my kitchen cupboard with the rest. I've decided that I will stop going to the group now as I am so motivated with my terrific family support (the kids are motivated by the rewards every time I lose another half a stone!). The kids have been exercising more (esp. on the new dance mat) and are happy to eat more healthily. My hubbie is doing the same. As I mentioned in another thread I am getting very little out of going to group meetings so, for me, doing it at home with my family will work. I think I probably only have to lose another 6 lbs so I wouldn't even get another sticker by staying at group. I would also like to say that all the "well dones" I received after my announcement on this site that I had got my 2 stone sticker meant alot.
I'd like to ask those who are going to a SW group if they have made any friends whom they see outside of the meetings? I was very disappointed that I couldn't connect in that way with anyone in either group I attended. I thought that strange as I am a very friendly person and was even asked by the consultant if I had thought of becoming a consultant. (In case you're wondering I do have friends but would have appreciated a SW friend for mutual support). Perhaps it is the area I live in or that people have enough friends anyway?
