It was like going home... walking in to a WW meeting for the first time for the 7th time. This time, though, I brought back-up - my diabetic, gadget-loving, delicious popcorn making husband. I figured he would benefit from some good ol'WW to help keep track of his sugar levels (something he hasn't gotten a handle on since being Dx'd with Type I diabetes 8 years ago).
He was not really happy about joining WW. He thought he would be the only male at
the meeting. He's picturing a bunch of 40+ fat women sitting around confessing all their eating indiscretions. I kept trying to convince him (and myself) that there are always men at the meetings. Much to my surprise not only were there 2 other men at the meeting, the LEADER was male. Phew! I made it past our first obstacle. He's excited about joining WW online and getting the iPad app.Fortunately (or unfortunately), he has had a lifetime of experience with WW: his mother pretty much follows the ideals and has been his whole life and since we've been together I think I have joined, quit, and thrown out all the materials 4 times. This time, though, it will be different!!
