Goodness Gracious!

  • I'm going to my first WW meething tomorrow night and I'm rather nervous.
    I'm really excited about being OP and getting healthy and feeling like I'm living up to my potential. However, I'm going alone and I already feel shy.
    Who'll be standing around while I get weighed? Do I have to introduce myself? If not, should I introduce myself to the leader, just to get acquainted? I really am excited, but it's going to be a HUGE change for me.
    My darling boyfriend and I went to my parents' house last night and he cooked a sumptuous meal. Spinach salad, chilled spaghetti with tomato, basil and LOTS of olive oil, a casserole of three kinds of potato, onions, tomatoes, carrots and LOTS of olive oil, baked polenta with gruyere and crimini mushrooms and for dessert we had grapes, Fuji apples, blood oranges and three kinds of gourment cheese: Stilton, Roquefort (the texture was exactly like butter!) and another kind that was delicious but stinky. Oh, and a bottle of champagne along with an entire loaf of French bread. I had to lie down. I felt pretty gross. But I had already offered to do the dishes so I was forced to get up again. If I had it my way I would've parked on the couch with the remote control until sleep overcame me.
    So I'm bloated and still not hungry (fourteen hours later) but I'm ready to go to WW!
    Can anyone help me with the meeting questions above?
    Thank you, thank you, thank you.
  • hi slinko,
    how did your meeting go? sorry not to have replied but i'm only just back from easter hols today.
    i went to my first meeting alone as well. i had to fill out a form then join a line to pay and then another one to weigh in. and that was my biggest shock, i had no idea how much weight i'd put on and how much in denial i'd been till then! you get asked what you want your goal weight to be. i didn't have a clue, so they suggested one for me (and i almost laughed when i heard it because i hadn't weighed that since i was about 10!). and then i stayed for a meeting where the leader chatted about WW, other people talked about their problems or success and swapped stories and advice, and i got told how to use my points finder and so on. i also remember that one girl got to goal that day and it really stuck in my mind that maybe one day that would be me. but i couldn't quite believe it would happen...until it did!
    anyhow. hope your meeting went well and good luck with WW!
