Topics: Weddings and Weight Watchers..........
Well here are some pictures of the wedding, and me in the bridesmaid's dress...duh duh duhhhhhh. It actually was a nice dress, it was just built for people with curves and that's not me so it makes by but and belly look bigger b/c I don't fill out the hips so it poofed. But it was pretty at least.
Here is me cracking up at something while we are getting ready
Here is me before the ceremony with the Bride (my bestie)
And here is me during the ceremony (I am the first girl in line)
And here is a slightly less flattering pic of me walking back down the aisle with the best man
The other thing I wanted to write about was I went to my first ever WW meeting yesterday after work. I have mixed feelings. I like the idea of having a meeting to go to for support, even though I do get that (and more) here on FS. I think it will help mainly because I am very competitive and weighing in each week with others kind of turns this into a game I can win at, lol.
The meeting also felt like school though. Don't get me wrong, I love school, but I am a good two-shoe about respecting the teacher and not being disruptive and nothing bothers me more than adults that act like children, which I encountered to an extent. I think I can deal with that though.
My other hesitation comes from the leader's responses to my questions. I tried to explain to her afterwards my concern about not eating enough and how with my allowed points, I will only be getting 1000-1200 calories a day (I know bc I tried following points and rules just by online research) and her response was just we don;t go by calories, just stick to the plan and it will work. I have no doubt that it will work but my concern is that it's too little food and it's unhealthy! I was eating 1000-1200 a day and look at me now, I've plateaued. So I don't think she was actually listening to me which was frustrating because isn't this supposed to be for support? I'm going to go to a different meeting time that's more convenient and see if I can actually get some counseling with someone different.
Another thing that really bothered me was she kept saying how "we are all not here because we over ate fruit or veggies" implying it was because of sweets or some other vice and I felt like that was very condescending and annoying because I am here bc of anti-depressants! Not over eating. So I am skeptical if this is for me, but I am going to stick with it for at least 3 or 4 weeks and see what happens. I did get some good ideas. I am going to try the points plan at first and then try to move into core as my habits naturally get healthier. And maybe another counting system to check myself will be helpful. I do feel good bc according their chart I am in a healthy weight range so the rest of this journey for me is flab to fit!
