Everybody struggles sometimes, as leaders we're supposed to be "perfect"..
and that's a ridiculous idea. I'm at a healthy weight for my height, and I
am at my WW goal.. I'm maintaining nicely there.. I wanna go down further...
and yup I'm struggeling..
The difference between a leader and a member (though leaders ARE members) is
that we probably know the program a little better.. and know a few tricks or
two more cause we stand in front of about 10 meetings/week. But Weight loss
/ maintenance is not so much about knowing the program, but about keeping
oneself in control and about "stick-to-it-iveness", it's about planning
ahead and keeping aware, those things don't come with knowledge, they come
with practice and determination..
There's two main disadvantage about being staff : 1- we work at all meal
hours.. morning, noon and dinner time.. so you gotta plan around that.. and
2 - You get so tired of talking about and hearing about the program that
sometimes the last thing you wanna do when you get home is to plan your own
week OP..
But then, generally we are staff cause we LUUUUVVVV the program.. we just
forget that what we repeat over and over aren't an automaticly activated
tape, but truths we learned on our journey.. and that they are as true for
us as they are for members.. ;op

I don't think leaders should be perfect. It sounds to me like you're a
great leader and you're doing a great job :-)
