Day 2 - Meetings - Sharing with 'like minded' people

For me, going to my regular Wednesday night Weight Watchers meeting was an integral part of my success. It was part of my weekly routine and it became as important to me as payday. It was the day where I was in a room with "like minded' people, I had to weigh in and be accountable for my previous weeks eating and exercise.  I was in a room with people who had had similar successes and similar struggles throughout the week. I loved the sharing, support and I met some really inspiring people who became my weight loss buddies. Furthermore, as I lost weight, it was nice to be the person who was inspiring others. It helped to keep me motivated and on track.

Some of you reading this may not be attending Weight Watchers meetings or meetings of other kinds.  What I would say in this instance is, surround yourself with positive and inspiring people. Find a friend who is also on a weight loss journey or who has recently lost weight and together share your successes and struggles. They say, a problem shared is a problem halved. I think if we don't keep ourselves accountable during those times, we may feel alone in a journey that can be filled with difficult times as well as wonderful successes.

Meetings or friends are great for inspiration and motivation. Create a support network around you. Find people who will always support you in both good and bad times. Sharing is caring, so share away and create a routine where you will always be accountable for your weight loss journey. However, big or small.

Today,

I wish you...

lots of support, motivation and inspiration for the coming journey
