So I was all fired up, went to my very first ever WW meeting this morning and I hated it. I cried all the way home.
I don't know if my expectations were unrealistic? But honestly, I felt like the daggy new kid at school... no-one talked to me... it seemed to me that the leader ran through the spiel quite mechanically, with a very cursory "any question, oh none?" at the end. I felt overwhelmed by the pile of leaflets and the oh go do the quiz, work out your points then look up the foods. It doesn't help that I have a lot of dietary restrictions so can't follow the menu plan straight up. Then she told a story to the group about how when she joined with her 6 m.o. son it didn't work so she got hubby to help & went on Saturdays instead... seemed a bit pointed at me with my nearly 5 m.o. son? Or am I being paranoid? but if she was trying to make a point, I guess I felt there were nicer ways she could have done it.
But I'm just so discouraged, I'm feeling so sad & upset which is not like me. Dunno hormonal, overtired or whatever... but I don't know what to do. Do I try find a different meeting? Try doing it online? I can't do anything that involves "shakes, bars, pre-prepared food"... so I thought the points thingo would be good. But I don't have heaps of time atm... so the thought of sitting down on my own & plowing through it all trying to work out what I should eat is a bit daunting. Arrrggh
