Let’s Talk
12 03 2008You guys rock! Thanks for all the support!
I had an unexpected opportunity to speak with my WW leader at our meeting last night. I think I discovered what I needed to do to get out of this viscious cycle. I needed to talk to someone. It’s one thing to type on here but actually saying the words out loud, “I’m having trouble with binging” made something really click. I don’t talk to WH or family about this type of stuff cause it just freaks them out. They don’t understand- nor do friends who aren’t stuggling with the same issues. My leader could relate and really talked some sense into me. She reiterated how good I was looking and how much harder it is to lose the weight a second time. She reminded me that I know what I need to do and what I have to “lose” if I don’t do “it.” I binged yesterday before that meeting. After talking with her at the meeting I went straight to the gym for the first time in weeks. It felt great. What I needed to do was talk. My whole attitude changed with one short conversation.
My advise to all of you that have been facing similar issues with motivation or finding the wagon to jump back on, talk to someone. There’s just something about sharing your fears and concerns with someone who is compassionate and understands where you’re coming from. Give it a try. I know as much support as WH and others are in my life, they just wouldn’t know how to help. They don’t understand what I’m going through. Talk to your fellow WW members at meetings and your leader. Hopefully it will be just what you need like it was for me!
I love pep talks. They really do work wonders. I am glad you found someone to talk to. Keep up the good work.
Well…i have a perfect solution! Could you just move to the Minneapolis area and we can get together to talk? LOL….ok, you can’t blame a girl for trying!
I hope that talking last night jumpstarts the rest of your week!
Congratulations on actually talking to your leader! I know a lot of people are too intimidated to even do that so I give you kuddos for speaking up AND for going to the gym afterwards. You are absolutely on the right track and being pro-active, that’s really all we can do! Keep it up!
Hey just wanted to say I’m happy for you! I am stuck in the same cycle, to a lesser degree… but w/ the same results. I think I need to find someone new to talk to and partner up with in this journey! Thanks for the thoughts…
