Opening Up

As I attend meetings I hear a lot about how to handle situations when we don't want to "let on" that we are "on plan", on WW. I get this, it's private, no one else's business.


But... I realise now that I've been conducting a bit of an experiment: I have been confessing, all over the place! And so far it's been a really positive experience:


- A shop keeper today spoke to me about the benefits she knows of WW over other plans.


- A fellow mom fessed-up that she's doing it too but has felt too self-conscious to go to a meeting. We shared some tips, had a laugh about the difficulties, and now she may come along to a meeting.


- Telling makes me feel a bit "accountable" to my own enthusiasm, gotta stick to it now that it's "out there".


- People at work are so very supportive and encouraging and you'd never guess how many are doing it too! Once you mention it it's like a chain reaction: "me too", "so is so-and-so", "I was on and loved it", "have you tried such-and-such recipe"!


I just had to share here that I am LOVING the effect sharing is having on my plan!
