20. Your treatment isn't right, and the leader should know about it.

(Hope I'm not butting in -- I've had a long layoff from DU and am trying to reconnect, and I'd like to become more active with this group, since I'm also in WW.)

You should not be belittled if you gain or are made to feel like a failure. Some weeks are like that. You should feel able to talk to the staff and get your daily points rearranged, if that's why you're not seeing a consistent loss, and you think you should be seeing more. It's really disappointing to hear that you feel you get treated that way by the staff.

I was in WW back in the '80s (totally different plan then) and I remember being really close to my goal when I hit a plateau for what seemed like forever. I think I may even have gained a pound or two during that time. The people who run these meetings should be well aware of this, which I why I think perhaps a friendly reminder to the leader may be in order.
