one thing I do like about my local one is the mix of people. colours, ages, cultures, types... it's really nice. there are some young, some old, and a few incredibly old but still fun loving and friendly.
the only thing that bothers me (besides the slightly crappy consultant) is the recent influx of incredibly thin people who have joined. it makes no sense. one looks like she's already on the low end of a healthy bmi, if not over and into unhealthy. I'm not the only one to think so either. But whatever. I am there to focus on my own weight, not hers
the other thing that bothers me a bit is actually my close friend, L. she joined a week after I did, was geared up and ready to go... but from day one she was following her own plan, not SW's. "I don't like milk or cheese so I'm just going to write down that I had it and just not have it". she got to her WI his week and was surprised to have only lost 1.5lbs, got super upset and went home without even talking about it. I only lost 1.5 lbs too, you didn't see me crying about it cos I knew I'd not been as on track as I could have. I am not lying to myself!
nobody can tell her she's doing it wrong because she just wont listen and it's so frustrating...I want to be supportive, I really do but when there's her going on about how she can't fathom why it was "only" a 1.5lb loss (umm... no exercise, and possibly the pizza and birthday cake you had last saturday and the kebab on tuesday? and the whole not actually following the plan even a little? perhaps? maybe? mmm?) and the fact that our other friend (H) seems to be of the same mindset and is lying to herself and L, means I feel quite alone in group right now. Although the third friend (C or K... can't remember how to spell her name!) is very much like me, following what makes sense, doing exercise etc which is nice.
I am just disheartened by my friends and their attitude.
