“If we judge people we have no time to love them”. Mother Teresa
I am a long-term gold member of weight watchers and attend the obligatory 5 meetings a year to keep my membership active.
At my last meeting the Leader was talking about WW headquarters and how some of the girls that work there can’t reach or stay at their target weights. Perfectly acceptable I thought. Other members of my group clearly didn’t think so.
Numerous comments were made insinuating that weight watchers shouldn’t employ staff that haven’t got their weight under control.
It’s crazy that people think like that. No-one is infallible. I was so tempted to stand up and say “my name’s Louise, I’m a nutritional therapist and I ate too much cake’.
Yes I may know, in theory, the perfect diet, but when I developed a chronic health condition several years ago, I, as many others do, turned to food for comfort.
Of course it didn’t take long for me to accept my new, unhealthy diet was exacerbating my already high levels of pain which far outweighed any temporary high sugar was giving me.
Getting back to the wholesome, clean food I was used to and removing any excess weight from my already inflamed joints was such a relief.
But my point is we are all human. People generally put enough pressure on themselves without others offering judgements. If we didn’t slip up we would never learn, grow and inadvertently create new opportunities in this crazy life of ours. Nobody is perfect and I for one am glad.
