The Slimming World Saga - Fourth Visit
Not good...
I got there early this week, so early in fact, that I'd walked in on a granny's bums and tums class... that's worth a hearty shudder in anyones book! Luckily, I'd gone into the wrong room.. (you may wonder how I still get lost... well so do I... There's 2 rooms in the place..)
I payed my fee, and stepped onto the pedastal. This was not to be a repeat of last week's success. "Three on" the weighing woman muttered, somewhat nonchalantly, considering the importance of my task, I thought. Then others started to arrive, going through the same ritual as I did. As they started to file in, I began to realise, that I'd did the worst out of all the people in the group. Not a good week for me.
And so we reach the dialogue section, in which unfortunately, I was the victim.
Group Leader: "So Mike, you've had a loss this week..."
Me: "Yes."
GL: "I take it you know where you went wrong?"
Me: "Yes."
GL: "So you'll do your best to get back on track?"
Me: "Yes."
GL: "So what do you plan to do next week?"
Me: "Yes. Oh.. I mean I'll do everything completely different."
(This is where I attempt a brave yet slightly rewarding tactic: The sympathy vote)
GL: "So do you feel good today?"
Me: "Um... not really..." (slightly sad expression, with a hint of mischief in the eyes)
All of group: "Awwwwwwww!"
(My plan had worked like a charm! All the disappointment deflected, with a simple doe-eyed muttering! I'm a living genius!)
At these classes, I've discovered a new food group. The Hi-Fi bar.
They are sweet and tasty, come in a variety of flavours (toffee and pecan are my favourites) and they are made from a strange substance known as 'Multigrain' so for all I know, I'm eating a bar of health with a smattering of toffee on top! I can't have too many though, they'll make me not able to poo.. and we don't want that.
I'll leave you with this. The group leader has a saying that I only just remembered, otherwise it'd have been in the first blog. Wait a second while I adjust fonts and shit accordingly...
"Go forth and shrink, and I'll see less of you next week!"
