To Meet or Not To Meet?

To give myself a kick up the bum I decided to weigh in early and hopped on the wii fit last night instead of leaving it till today. I've gained 1 and a half lbs ... not a surprise. Back to 11st 3lbs. I really do seem to be having trouble controlling myself. I've had a rubbish week on the diet. I really have. I seem to have no motivation to eat well at all, despite feeling like a big roly poly and becoming increasingly self concious which is unlike me.

There may be a turning point about to happen though. Vix is back off her hols and is planning on joining a weight watchers meeting next week. Now, I would rather not spend the money on meetings quite frankly but something needs to change. I did well last time when Jayne and I went to the meetings (back in 2003 i think?!) and accoring to the website people lose on average three times more going to meetings than doing it alone. I wonder if it was the thought of paying out each week which made me stick to my guns back then? Or the thought of someone else weighing me? Or the good pep talk that you get each week after weigh in? Whatever it was I have discovered is that you can buy a monthly pass for weight watchers now which is £17 per month (cheaper than paying for four meetings individually and more easily manageable for me) with free registration and a free essentials starter pack (which contains a shopping guide, eating out guide and tracker diary thingy). You also get free access to the eSource online service.

I haven't fully made my mind up whether to go yet ... but all the indications seem to suggest that a meeting would be a good move. As long as I can get back from work in time for the 6pm start on Tuesday.
