I agree, if you have had a really bad week and eaten loads of stuff you shouldn't and not bothered counting syns or anything, then you expect it, so I don't think I would feel quite as bad - although if thats the case you still deserve recognition for turning up to group and staying as thats really not easy.
If you had a good week and gained its a bit of a shock anyway, and I always feel bad when they tell everyone you gained - It would be awful if you were really struggling and say you put on a couple of pounds, if she actually gave the amount of the gain to everyone, I would be embarressed.
Ay my current group we don't do image therapy as its usually done, just because there are too many of us.
She does the awards, which takes a while anyway, as there are usually a few and a lot of chats go on then, while people say how they feel now they have lost enough weight to get that award and then we talk generally and people still have the chance to discuss how they are doing.
I really like it this way I must admit, and it encourages me to stay more if I haven't done that well as I do get embaressed when all the focus is on me when I gained.
