Reflections

Last night I went to my first Weight Watchers meeting.(yeah, I know I was going to go on Friday, but stuff happened...) At first I was extremely scared and nervous. First I had to sign in and pay, then stand in the line to be weighed in.

When you weigh in, thats when you get to talk privately with someone about your goals. So I found out how much I weigh (argh!!) and set a 10% of my weight goal. Then as the meeting started I was starting to feel more comfortable. I got so much information it was mind boggling.

After the meeting I had to stay for another meeting, this was a getting started meeting. The getting started meeting was very helpful in explaining what was going on in the actual meeting. Now I pretty much understand the program.

There are two ways to do WW, they have the Flex plan and the Core plan. The flex plan you can eat anything but you only have so many points each day and you have to track everything you eat and pay attention to portions. On the Core plan you have a list of things you can eat and you stop eating when you are satisfied. I'm doing the flex plan. I think I need that structure and accountability.

So right now I am happy I joined and I am hopeful that I will be successful.
