Rejoining

In my journey to 'no more dieting' I have realised an essential element is missing and is something which I think is a main factor is sucess. Group support - for those 'dieting' there are classess to go to or girlfriends to talk with, even everyday mags support those on diets with their hints and tips. But I can't seem to find the equivlant that is not centered around 'the diet' - just somewhere to go and talk tips and strategies, a place where people on the same journey can get together. If somone knows of such a place let me know - blogs are great but I really need group face to face stuff so......I am rejoining WW!! Not for the diet I am fine with getting in touch with my hunger and I don't want to become obsessed with points or 'good/bad' food - I just want to be with others who have the same feelings and thoughts I do and are on the same journey. The meeting that I used to go to on Saturday morning was great for that it was like the WW plan was happening in the background - the leader actually discussed dealing with feelings and learning to feel our hunger and understood that this was about a life commitment not just until we got back into those sexy size 12s. So that's my plan and I am sure there are the purist out there that will rant that I am supporting dieting culture by paying to go to the meetings and in no time at all I will be sucked back into following a set of outside rules but I am stronger than that and I figure that knowing that I need group support which WW meetings give me is a plus on my side - sure I might adopt one or two of their tips but I know that even though I have gained weight since I gave dieting away I also know that I am happier and feel more free than I have in a long time and I am not going to give up that feeling anytime soon.
