Evening Wren!
You have the right attitude. YOU lost the weight, and no one can take credit for the hard work you put in to it. You will do just fine with maintenance. Marg is truely an expert in the maintenance department. I applaud her for staying within 5 lbs of goal 1 year out. And I'll be right here applauding YOU too! So listen to Marg and Susan and Mel and you will be A-OK! Of course, I'm good for a song or two if nothing else! And I do take requests. Most requests are to stop, however!
As you can see I'm a bit silly tonight! Keep smiling :)
Jacqui
thanks
Jacqui,
At my center it seems the revolving door has stopped, at least for now. There's just 4 there. None of them WOW me, but they do allow me to hop on the scale in front of them... that's all I ask at this point! The counselor mentioned last week that I was low on lites. I just smiled and told her I was expecting to be within a few pounds of goal at the beginning of October by eating them. She didn't respond. This one is the young, rather shy one. She's definitely not a sales person. I had to be nice. Besides, they don't realize I still have a cupboard full!
Have a great night, Wren!

YOU are lucky to have the ones who don't push the sales
I get that feeling from the one counselor, Tiffany, that she's making sure every little thing she feels hampered my progress is noted. I'll make the Lite Chocolate Shake with ice, water, instant coffee, and 1 packet of Splenda. I log it as a "Lite Mocha". I know what it means, and it's 100% on plan. However she said, "Well, it's obvious to me why you're not losing. Do you know how many calories are in a Mocha Shake???" I responded by saying, "You tell me, it's LA Lites? What is it, 80 calories? They're lower than the bars!" "Oh!" and she starts scribbling in my chart. Errrrrrrr..... Anyhow, I've brought it up to my hubby and he said that I've lost more weight than I could have alone, and I'm happier than I have since my mom got sick last year. He said he would've paid double to see me this way. He said to forget about the refund, and just take care of myself. He always seems to have such a better attitude when it comes to that kind of stuff. He's way too understanding. That's why opposites attract, huh?
Wren, don't let them get to you. You will be done with the center in no time, you'll move on, you'll have your FAMILY, your HEALTH, your SELF PRIDE. All the center will have is another person to sell the lites to. You are in a much better place, don't forget that!!!
Oh, and being a little looney is what makes us all interesting! Who else measures their veggies and buys lemons by the 6-pack? :)
