So we are almost done with the product only, and because we don't "share" we don't really know how everyone is doing. I have been assuming that everyone has been staying on product and not straying. That is what J and I are doing, and no one has said that they weren't - no news is good news type of thing, but all this permission to go off product, I am surprised that more haven't.
We were doing a group activity and one of my group members talked about pizza, and I thought that they were talking past tense. But no she was talking about that weekend. I was a little stunned. I mean to cheat with pizza, even KFC said she never had anything but boiled chicken.
But also the doctors are telling the participants that they can have as much product as they want. That is not right either. It just is so loosey goosey. I was told I could have an extra product after swimming if I was light headed. I don't need that extra product, I will be eating again soon enough I want to take full advantage of this jump start as I can. Because that is all it is, a jump start. I have miles to go and I do appreciate the push.
I feel like I am missing out a bit, not finding out how everyone else is doing. I liked listening to what happened to people during the week, how friends and family are reacting to them, how they were feeling about the weight loss. I miss hearing the fears and trepidation that they are facing as we get closer to transition. We haven't discussed transition. We have next week and we are transitioning. They have not talked about it at all. We spent four weeks talking about transition in the first class. This is a big deal. This is when people freak out. I have the benefit of having gone through this before, but some haven't.
They need to get the program together. It feels haphazard and unplanned. The notebooks are thrown together, the material is all over the place, and we spend an hour and fifteen minutes listening to a lecture. Then we are told we don't participate.
Ah well, maybe it will be different in maintenance.

As we've discussed before, you could be one heck of a trainer if you either started your own OR if you worked with them - you know what needs to be done & you're pretty organized (when you want to be). Maybe the next career???
ReplyDeleteI agree with Ted, it sounds like a business start-up with near guaranteed success!! You would be awesome!
