So I got to group and when I walked in there was only one other person sitting there. I have always said that I was going to be the only person at the table by the end of the 82 weeks, and it almost happened. People eventually came in, but still...
And it was one of those days that I just wanted to strangle the facilitator. She wanted us to make a plan for the next twelve weeks because this is a bad time and people normally gain about 10 pounds during this season. So she wanted us to make a plan so we minimized the gain. When someone said that they were planning on losing she said oh well how are you going to do that? - Huh?
We have spent an entire year learning to plan. We plan our daily meals we plan our special meals, this is what they taught us. This is how they told us we could keep it off. Now she is saying no matter how much planning we have to what plan more? That we are at risk because of the holiday season and we are going to spend the next 12 weeks bingeing? By my count there is thanksgiving, Christmas and Christmas eve. Holiday parties are no different then any other party one goes to over the year. Pick and choose if it is going to be hard at the party, but really people don't pay any attention to what you are or are not eating at the party. And if you are uncomfortable, walk around with a piece of food on your plate. Very few people care if your eating especially in a large group.
Enough with the "most people gain 10 pounds" don't you know we are just looking for an excuse?

I'm with T3 on this one. Let's kidnap the facilitator & take her to Tyr Creek & throw her in the blackberry bushes while wearning only a two piece bathing suit.
ReplyDeleteThe rattlesnake gods will be pleased.
We need to send the facilitator to Dale Carnegie if she survives the "blackberry patch" at Tyr Creek!
