Went back to weight watchers

And I was a little disappointed. I went back to the first meeting I attended, but the leader was different and the meeting was much smaller, and not at all motivating. I'm not really sure what to do. I know that when I do attend meetings, I'm more inspired to stick to the program, yet the meetings I've tried don't seem to have the right vibe. There is a meeting near my work that I haven't tried before, I guess I could try that one, and hope for the best. I wonder if Weight watchers ever thought to check the member demographic before assigning members to that area?

Maybe I am just being a snob, but I hoped that I would be able to rekindle the loosing spark by going back to my original meeting. Now I just feel a bit flat about it. I will, however, go back next week, and see how it goes. I'm only a couple of kgs outside my goal anyway, so it's not like I have to pay a whole lot, or even go to weekly meetings for that long, but still...

On the upside, I get all new books, and the new recipes each week which is great. Tonight I made the Lamb and Fetta burgers out of the latest weight watcher mag. Very impressive - even my boy enjoyed it (although he did mention that add sauce, egg and bacon and it might just be perfect!).

Needless to say, I tracked today. I'm on 19 points and I'm still hungry. I know this will pass after the first couple of days when I get into the swing of things, but tonight I feel crap. I'm tired and grumpy and I'm desperately wanting some chocolate or something sweet. I can't wait till breakfast.

Might update again when I feel a bit more positive. Ciao.

Damn, sorry to hear about the sucky meeting. I've been to the City meeting in the Dymocks Building and they seem to be A LOT better than what we've both experienced elsewhere. The weekly material is definitely something to get excited about so glad that it motivated you to cook something new! Sounds yummo :-) I hope you're feeling better today...

Hope you find a better meeting. I haven't ever actually been to a WW meeting, but if I did pay for one I would expect a motivating experience.

Good that you can get all the latest books though. The new mag has some very yummy-looking recipes.

Good luck with counting points again.

I just started going to a meeting in the Dymocks Building. I'm not sure about the vibe just yet as people go in their lunch breaks and seem to be just dropping by, getting weighed and collecting their bits of paper. I'll confirm what I feel about it in the next couple of weeks I guess.
I was definitely feeling hungry last night after tracking all day, so I know how you're feeling! Keep at it though, I hope you find a good meeting soon :)
