Need That Weigh In SHOVE!!

  • My plan is to go back this Saturday for weigh in since MAYYYYYYY!!!

    I know it's not going to be good, i am freaking out but know if i get that weekly structure i'm apt to do alot better than thinking i can do it on my own. My leader is the best i've come by in my 10 attempts at ww. I look forward to seeing her. It's the weigh in part that has me so upset, i know that look the girls get when they look at that screen and to go back up about 15 disgusting lbs since May (had stomach surgery and was laid up over a month) i may pass out! I want to go in there saying, don't even tell me, i don't want to know

    Help with walking the plank please!!!!
  • OK, this may sound harsh, but eff the woman who give you "the look." You are doing what you need to do for yourself, and it really doesn't matter what kind of grimace they put on.

    Imagine that if they can't be supportive, they have to go home and eat a headcheese sandwich and drink a glass of spoiled milk.

    Just keep moving forward & be strong!
  • You need to give yourself credit for getting back on your plan after your set back. I too have been down the road of having major surgery and dealing with 6 weeks of inactivity and the weight gain. If you know the weekly structure works for you then look at it as a postive. Maybe you can ask them not to tell you your weight, stand with your back to them so you don't see their expressions! My co-worker did that for the first couple of months as she didn't want to know the number. They just told her if it was a loss or a gain.

    Sending positive vibes your way
  • Get back in there.

    The scale isn't the important thing right now. It's getting back to a support system that helps you!

    I've gone into meetings before, and said "Hi there! Would you be able to do me a favor? Please, don't tell me what the scale says. Neither up nor down. I just need to be here to be accountable this week, and hearing numbers would really bring me down. Thank you so much!" And the women at the centers were more than happy to just say "Okay! Got your weigh-in done." And then they handed me back my booklet and I went on my merry way without checking it out.

    The scale is not a measure of worth. Most of the time it's not even a good measure of success. Don't let it keep you from what you need most. Support. Encouragement. And a meeting with a leader who keeps you stepping forward!
  • I really do need to go Sat. I went for a walk last night and it felt soooo good! Just found out that my hormones are not screwed up and i'm not going through perimenopause so now i'm going to see if i can be weaned off Cymbalta as i think the side effects are really affecting me. I have no energy all the time. I'm going to do that, ask the ladies to kindly record my weight then ditch the booklet lol!!!
