So I've been attending WW consistently since July; now I've been a member for quite a while but starting in July I brought a buddy and more importantly the buddy brings me. I am more likely to weigh in and skip the meeting or more than likely skip the whole thing and say "I'll catch up next week" if I'm left alone. Unfortunately 10 pounds later I have not caught up but gained. And so my cycle goes. Start back; lose sight; quit; rejoin; go great guns; lose sight; quit; ...... you get the idea.
Over ten years ago, I had a buddy. We met at the meeting and went to breakfast afterwards celebrating success or encouraging each other. Weight watchers started the Points Program and we knew exactly how many points in a breakfast biscuit at Whataburger. It was a great way to connect on those Saturdays and I treasure that time with my buddy.
Before long I was in a new town and started WW again. On my own I fell into my -go-, -don't go-, -quit-, -restart-. Old habits are hard to break. I found another buddy and as long as I had a buddy to go with, I was good to go.
Again, we moved! By then WW was online and my membership moved with me. I attended....alone and yep you guessed it. YoYo-ing again. I brought Hubby with me (remember, I need a buddy). It's not always the best to bring a man with you as they tend to lose weight lickety-split and yeah, that's what happened. He lost; got annoyed with a certain woman (not me, promise!) who dominated the meeting, and I was alone again.
I wish I was the type that could do it on my own; the type that could go to a meeting and then go home, but I like the socialization. I WANT to go have breakfast with someone and talk and laugh and have girl time so I am on a buddy system. My buddy is losing at a faster rate, but that is O.K. I have a back-up plan in case I'm alone again.
Shhhhh, he doesn't know it, but I'm pointing at my hubby buddy! After all, he promised "through fat and through thin," right?
