My neighbor does weight watchers, so I choose the meeting she goes to attend, hoping that we could motivate one another. Well, she has a defeatist attitude, and it saddens me. Let me start by saying that I am full aware that I CAN loose weight, I have not made the right decisions to do so. I guess it's easier to point out the mistakes that other people make, and I'm going to do just that, lol.
- She eats all day, then waits until the end of the day to write out her points...
- She talks bad about herself when she eats dessert, or has coffee with cream and sugar, or whatever
- She's been giving weight watchers money, every month, but not getting serious about changing her eating habits
- She blames others for her bad decisions
- I don't think she truly believes that she can loose the weight.
I will not sit here and pretend that I haven't made all of the mistakes above, over and over again. But I don't feel like she's being realistic with herself. If you already have bad eating habits, and you wait until the end of the day to figure out the point values, you are going to make bad decisions. If you made a bad decision early in the day, but you know it was a bad decision, you can eat healthier at the end of the day, to stay within your allotted points for the day.
Weight watchers is not cheap, so if you aren't going to buckle down, and at least try to follow the guidelines, why give them that money every month? I just don't understand it.
But, I am going to do my best to encourage her (as well as myself) to finally make the changes we need to make!!
