Okay, so I have officially been OP for 11 days now, since joining WW on 12/30. I had a 2 lb. loss at my first weigh-in, even though I was not faithful in my journaling, water drinking and such, "with the holidays and all" I told myself.
I know that people usually do best at weight loss when they have supportive folks around them, and it sounds like many of you have that, outside of your meetings and the forums. I have only told 2 people about my new committment to weight loss. I am dreading having anyone else find out--almost like its some dirty little secret or something. Has anyone else ever felt like this?
It dawned on me on my way to my meeting on Monday when a co-worker and I landed at the same intersection at the same time--I was totally worked up about her figuring out where I was going, even though I'm sure she probably didn't even notice my car--how ridiculous is that?
I know I can't do this alone. This is the first time I've ever been on a real program--except for when I was in elementary school and my folks would make copies of their WW journals for me to use. The only thing I can come up with is that I am afraid to fail, and I don't want people watching what I eat and being all or asking me about my progress if it slows to a 's pace.
Sorry this has been long, I feel better for having put it out there.
