Weight Watchers Motivation

Last night's Weight Watchers meeting was definitely the place for me. Not only did I watch my weight go up 0.6 lbs, I left feeling motivated and ready to get back on track with a healthy lifestyle. During the meeting, my fearless leader, Betty Jo Young began to talk about negative talk, and negative people. She asked how people who are faced with trials, rejection and negativity in their life persevere and go on to do great things. Some of the members said, "A good attitude!" "Not giving up!" I looked over to my supervisor, who watches her weight with me, and said, "That's called JESUS!" She laughed... but, seriously.. How do I get through everyday when I'm faced with bad attitudes, criticism, a cranky caller, negative self-talk??? People, that's Jesus. I have never left a Weight Watchers meeting feeling encouraged in my faith, but last night, I did. I never thought that Betty Jo Young would remind me to turn to my Lord when my life is filled with negativity, but she did.
