Last night was the big night, I got to meet my group and choose my foodpacks. The group had 7 other newbies and three regulars who were lovely. There is a range of characters there and defintely some loud ones!!! Overall the group went well, we didn't get time for much discussion because there was so many people joining, but I am looking forward to hearing how everyone got on next week.
We also had our 'before' pictures taken and I can't help but think my counsellor was thinking 'if she sticks to the program the after pics will be drastic'. It gives me weird feeling, bad about myself now but proud for the future.
I found it really interesting that I didn't get emotional last night. I think having four weeks from the initial meeting until starting has allowed me to accept the program and approach it calmly.
I have found some useful words in some of the reading material I recieved. One tip is to wake up in the morning and imagine getting through the day, enjoying the foodpacks and going to bed with a real sense of pride. But todays motto is 'A journey of a thousand steps, starts with just one'.
Let the journey begin.
This is exciting!
