In fairness to the Consultant (not CDCs anymore...ack..must change my details!)
Urgh I know, I'm trying to get used to Consultant and Cambridge Weight Plan now too!
I don't measure weekly, but do weigh weekly. I take it she does too, or did I miss that bit.
Basically it was if I want her to. She was like I don't have to weigh you, you can do it yourself. But I said I wanted her to, so she did.
On the communication front, I do understand that, I guess it's just that I'm comparing her to my Consultant before, and the fact that she was so good at it. And that on the website it says they'll check. But it was just her whole attitude, just seemed very, in, get the money and go. No discussing my targets or anything. Maybe it's just because she knows I did it last year.
Did she realise that you really wanted them, or did she think you were fine with what she gave you.
Yup, I specifically emailed her my order of what I wanted, though this did change to a months worth not a week, but she didn't even have the weeks worth that I said that I wanted. No porridge, 1 orange bar, 2 or 3 choc mints. When I'd wanted 7 of each. And then I'd told her on the Saturday I wanted a months worth but would happily wait if it wasn't all in. And I know that a big part of it is my fault for not turning around and saying that I wasn't happy with the order. I just find it extremely difficult to do that. Especially in that kind of face to face situation with someone I don't know.
BTW, I was never contacted during the week by my WW leader, nor SW, nor RC when I did those diets...but as I say, my clients know where I am if they need me.
No, you're right, I hadn't thought of it like that. But at the same time, I see this as different. This isn't a group diet. It's a one to one thing. But I guess I just expect more than what a person has to do because that's what I had before and assumed it was normal.
So Caroline, did you ask her to get in some other flavours for you and she absolutely refused? Did she measure your waist? Did you tell her that you really needed extra support and she refused that?
She didn't refuse no, but I'd specifically said ones I wanted before, and she didn't have any of that in pretty much. She did measure my waist, but only because I asked whether she was going to take my measurements, and was like oh alright then, I don't often bother. And no, I didn't specifically say I needed extra support. I guess I didn't think I needed to. And maybe part of the situation is my fault, and I should have said, but like I said, I just didn't think I needed to. I'm not sure I even had the chance.
But you have made me look at it slightly differently, and maybe it's not completely her fault in the situation. But I do just feel like there are so many things, and just her attitude towards it all, but maybe that's just me. She said right near the beginning about she hopes that I would become a Consultant at the end, and then when she was doing my form and I said I had done CD before she was like oh, well I wouldn't be sponsoring you then. I'd like to get to a BMI of 25 first! She just seemed very focused on the money and wanting to be able to quit her job.
I don't know, maybe it's just me.
