Today I went with a friend to Weight Watchers, and we signed up. We have struggled before together to lose weight, and we both are determined to make this work. The right speech of honesty is our starting point, and we trust each other and have lost weight together before. But right speech is sometimes the ability to grumble, and we both need to whine and complain about how short we are and how much effort it takes for us to eat less, and avoid carbs. We're in the same tiny boat together and capsizing is an ever present danger. We are swim buddies in this endeavor.
I liked the guy who signed us up and his straight forwardness as well. No promises made, no platitudes, just how the plan works and the offer to answer any questions that come up. I didn't mind so much this time being weighed and looking at the number. I'm going to try to be an adult about this health problem of mine. I need to lose weight and eat wisely or my diabetes is going to go out of control and my health deteriorate. Simple as that. I'm going to get comfortable with this truth and be mindful of what I stuff myself with. It's about self respect and kindness to myself.
