Weigh****chers?
RNY on 06/11/12
I am a big fan of Weigh****chers. When I lost my job a year ago I had to cancel my membership which made me very sad. I loved my leader and she was so inspiring and so much fun. She keeps in touch with me and I still get her weekly recipe she sends out and invites to various monthly 5K walks they do.
When I got home from having my RNY I sat down and finally sent her e-mail letting her know that I went for the WLS and hoped she wasn't upset with me. I was very shocked and pleased by her response back. She told me she was proud of me for doing what I felt I needed to do for my health. She also told me to not think that I couldn't be a member of WW anymore because I would still have the need for support and reminders on how important it is to make GOOD Choices when deciding what to eat. The meetings are just that. They do not stress what your particular plan is or what your point Plus amount is.. They talk about facing everyday challenges and how to handle them to keep on track of the program and not give into to many temptations to the point where you are out of control.
Eventually I will go back and with good hard work I won't have to pay the monthly membership very long before I reach goal and do not have to pay to maintain. It really is a great support group!!!
