Last night’s meeting was a corker.
I was there for a solid 10 mins. I walked in, weighed-in (up 700 grams, not too bad considering my past two weeks), then got POUNCED ON (score!). Sadly for me, my pouncer was my Team Leader, Lisa, and not Jake Gyllenhaal dripping in melted chocolate. Anyway, she asked me two things, both as interesting and motivating as the other:
“Will you enter in the 5-15kg 2008 Slimmer of the Year comp?”
Errrrrm, hells yeah. The prizes are swish, the acknowledgement for Fat Fighting effort is fantastic, but even more than that – it gives me something to work towards. I don’t care if I don’t win, but I’m going to work my sweet tushi off so I can enter saying I have lost 11kg. This means I have 3.5kg to lose and maintain by May when the entries close. I spent a large portion of last night searching through My Pictures and gagging at old photos to use as my before photos. I’ve narrowed it down to one of me looking absolutely hideous (squinting and all chubbed-up on the phone) or one of me (drunk) at a Hen’s night (cuddling a stripper) with the biggest canteen lady arms ever. Shame about the stripper in the pic… may need someone to photoshop some clothes onto the sweaty nudist. Anyway, I’ve definitely got some nasty choices!
Which brings me to the second topic…
“Would you be interested in being a Team Leader?”
YES! Instead I jabbered: Maybe, well… I’ll think about it, errr, not really sure… what does it involve?
True gut feeling? Yes, yes, 1000 times, yes!
I handed over my details and now I have to wait to see if I get a call to complete some training. Just think. Booti manning a FF group. Scary thought. I can make like Marjorie Dawes from Little Britain and guzzle cake behind a screen. Perfecto!
The truth is… I would love it because I live and breathe FF. I want to talk about healthy food, I want to talk about exercise. I want to ask questions, I want people to ask me questions, I want to learn more. I want to be around people who want to talk about food and exercise. Enter: FF meeting. Sigh. A watched mobile never rings. I shall be patient.

Good Luck! I think you’d make an excellent FF Leader! I don’t go now, but I sure would if you were my leader
Fingers crossed for you
