Had 26 in!
But OMG what an awkward evening!
Had one rejoin. This is a lady who has weighed once before in April, and never came back, but has texted me , and phoned me for advice, and sent an excuse every week about why she can't make it.
She turned up, I went through the new member talk with her, and halfway through, another 2 new turned up. I gave them a form to fill out, offered them a tea or coffee, and took the other lady through to rejoin as she couldn't stay,
Got to the pay desk, she had her card, but had left book behind - and said she had no money.
I said "how can I put you through if you can't pay the joining fee?"
"oh, I'll just go and get some from the car!"..............
Went through new member talk again with the other 2 ladies.
In image therapy, had a lady complain her life was too busy to do this. She stayed behind at the end, demanding that I write her down a menu for the week!
I directed her to the interest table, as there was lots of recipes from magazines out, for snacks, and quick easy meals and I'd done a little theme on planning for the week!
She sat on a chair chatting to a couple of people, and then spent 10 mins after my new members had gone, telling me how difficult her life was, how busy, how she nearly hadn't made it, and that's why she wanted me to plan her week for her.
I said,' we're all busy, you have all the tools y'ou need to be able to take a few mins to plan.'
She said she might not come back, and I said, if your weight loss is important to you, then have a think about what you want to do.'
Basically, she could have spent that time, jotting a few ideas down, but she just couldn't be bothered.
Boy, was I fed up and in a bad mood when I got home!
"how did it go tonight, love?" said the old man when I got in.
"Got 26 in, but they do like to ~*%$ me around!" I said.
Just stay out of my way until mum calms down!
Otherwise, a fab night. 2 target awards, a stone and a 2 1/2 stone and silver body magic given out.
The genuinely struggling member, came back having lost weight, ready to plan her week again, and thanked me for helping her. She said I had a
'fabularssss group, young lady! Hard working and inspirational!'
the other lady has only come 3 out of 5 weeks
See, I will do everything I can for those who get to a stumbling block after losing weight and then struggle. But
the other lady has come 3/5 weeks, and not really made an effort to make changes. She expects me to do it for her.
That's not my job. My job is to teach her how to do it for herself!
