Surround yourself with people who will only lift you higher.
-Oprah Winfrey
Last week I had an incident at the Weight Watchers location that I had attending. My son was being chatty, and as a result, my leader told me to take him out. I am very good at removing my children from a situation if they are being disruptive, and I did not even get a chance to take him out of the room before I was yelled at. I am not exaggerating, I was yelled at. At the end of the meeting I went and talked to her and she told me that I was going to have trouble finding a meeting where I would be welcome with my child, but I could keep trying to come to that one. I was utterly humiliated, but I did plan on going back at the time.
After a cooling off period, I decided that I did not need to surround myself with people who would give me dirty looks everytime my son made a peep and so it was time for me to find another place to weigh in. Not going to a meeting is absolutely not an option and so my weigh in has been moved to Friday. I found a new meeting and my new leader is wonderful. She is patient and the other members at the meeting made me feel welcome. I am still a little leary about having a chatty baby with me, but I am going to try this out for a spell.
On a high note, I started taking a multivitamin and I walked three days this week with a tiny bit of running. I miss running so much, and the two things that I regret the most in my life are giving up running and picking up that first cigarette. I should not have done either, but we all learn from our mistakes. The best thing I can do is start all over.
Since today is weigh in day I am sharing a picture. It is not flattering as it is windy out, but I am overweight and I do not feel like I look all that great in any case. I am also sharing a picture of a litte black dress that I want to wear to the Submarine Birthday Ball in April. I want to knock Jeremy's socks off and feel confident once again.
