Well, went last saturday to hopefully get motivated again (hadn't been for a couple of weeks - stayed the same tho) only to find permanent new leader in situ - well, what a ....... I'm lost for words at her ..... she was almost totally unsympathetic in her approach ..... sat there gobbsmacked at what she was saying - listing her expectations of us - 1 thing that really got to me was that she said she doesn't accept being on holiday as a reason for weight gain - she will expect us still to lose weight when on holiday (or at worst stay the same) - its taken me years to stop beating myself up about holiday weight gain and that was with the help of a WW leader. So as per usual when someone is like that with me and my weight I've spent the last few days pigging out Have decided that's silly and I'm going to change to another meeting (went to this one once when couldn't get to usual meeting and liked the leader) and hopefully get back on track. Keep your fingers crossed for me that the new meeting does the trick! janet x

Lot's of luck and inspiration for your new class, i'm sure you will do really well. Sending {{{HUGS}}} Keren x

I always thought the idea was to give everyone moral support. Seems to me she's in it to make money only!! Is there anyway you could get in touch with someone higher (area leader, etc) to complain to?? Meanwhile don't give up on any hard work you've already done and you've done the right thing to go somewhere else. Fingers and toes crossed this will work out better for you Christine xxx

Don't worry about pigging out, we all do it at times, but once that feeling has gone, if you can at least find your way to the track (if not actually get on it) its all a step in the right direction. Alot easier for me to sit here and tell you than for me to actually do it myself. But i'll encourage you if you encourage me, and you've already done that by sharing your 'problem'. Hugs Teejay xx

My WW leader is lovely and totally understand holiday weight gain and tells us all the weight that goes on quickly comes off quickly, just get back on track when you get back, but most of all enjoy your holiday, part of a weight loss journey is that you will occasionally put on weight. I would definintely change meetings but also put a complaint in about her, that attitude stinks and its helpful to anyone trying to lose weight.

You definitely should make a complaint because she is upsetting people. It is upsetting enough having a weight problem without being treated like a naughty child. Have you thought of joing the WW online e-source? There are forums full of people like us having motivation problems!! LOL Michele xx
