Mal- I could start my own club, but I would have to figure out how to go about it to get it school-sponsored, and I'd probably have to get a falculty sponsor.
Bmohearn- I know! Today I'm going to send her an e-mail telling her that I quit and thanks, but no thanks. You'd think that when a student who is obese comes to something wanting help losing weight she'd be a bit more nicer!
I'm extremely disappointed that this program didn't turn out like I thought it would...I was so hopeful that it would be a bit of a savior for me and give me the here at home support I really need and I want, but I was proven wrong. It's rare when I hope and actually believe that things will work out for the best...I have such little faith in people and my expectations are so low for things and for people to be good. After it and this morning as I write the email, I have been close to crying over it...but that's okay, I've done this alone here at home for over a year, and I have great support here.
In some bad news....at That Thing, because it is simply not good enough to have the Biggest Loser name attached to it, the scale said 297...that cannot be right, but okay, since it was a digital scale and I trust those more than the doctor-like ones I have trouble reading, I'm going to move my ticker back there. This weekend I'm going home so I can get a better read and maybe steal that one...I know my mom barely uses it.
I think I need to higher my calories...I've busted my butt way too hard this January to be at 297! I think I'm going to aim for 2000, but that's going to be hard with the cafeteria. I thought the elliptical would be hard and I'm doing it three times a week now!
Here is the e-mail I wrote her:
Hi, this is Lindsey {Insert last name here}. I've given it some thought but I'm sorry to say that I don't think I can continue with the program and I am dropping out. I don't think it's fair to the others in the program for an outsider like me to be a part of it and I have looked into my finances and I can't afford the trainer on my own, plus there is the fact that I have been in the process of losing weight for almost a year and half now. Thank you for the offer though. I will drop by Tuesday as I go to my counseling appointment and give you back the binder so someone else can use it.
Thank you,
Lindsey.
