Hi everyone.
Sorry if this has been covered before but I couldn't find it.
I joined SW on 24th June and I think when I have my weigh in tomorrow I may have lost a stone.
I know I could have done heaps better but I find I struggle a lot of the time as I dont seem to have much info. At the meetings, I think the only time I have spoken to the SW lady is to confirm what I have lost when she goes round the whole group. There seems to be a group of regulars who have been going a long time who tend to hog the meetings and have a comment for everything - everyone else weightloss, exercise, weight gains, whatever - they have something to say.
Then there are a few more who LOVE to be negative. They just lost 4lbs that week? Well, they will still find something to complain about.
The main thing that comes across is that many have really really appalling eating habits and (Sorry if this sounds snobby) but they really don't appear to have very sophisticated, or even adult tastes in food at all. I am really floundering with it but there is no other meeting near me.
I have started to skip meetings so I dont have to spend the 2 hours there listening to it all (I am genuinely depressed when I leave) and I know if I am not planning to go and weigh in, I have choc, wine etc.
The final straw I think was when the password was Basil. And my SW lady admitted she didnt know what it was.
I kind of assumed that the SW leaders would have some kitchen skills, and not be telling us every week how she isnt prepared to cook...
Has anyone else found their meeting like this? Is this what they are all like?
Sorry if this sounds like a rant but I feel really down about it and very alone right now.
