Title: Trauma caused by WW/Weight Watchers
Ok this is going to be a long story however it’s from my heart ❤️ so scroll off you don’t want to read it. There are 7 stages of grief and I should know because I lost my 30 year old son in 2014. If it weren’t for having his dog 🐕 I would of never got out of bed 🛌.
I joined weight watchers and lost the weight and felt good about myself and saw a therapist and it helped. I went thru the anger the shock the denial the thought of not being good enough etc. Now I’m at the point of sorrow and grief. I truly loved my members my coach and my coworkers. I would look forward to getting ready for my meeting and thinking 🤔 I was helping my members. I would love to hear if they made their goal or how the week went, the ups and downs and of course I participated as well. For them to take that away in a two min phone call and we can’t even go in an say bye to them or they are thinking we didn’t care about them especially in this pandemic to let them know we still cared. I feel ostracized and I’m sure some of you feel the same. 😌.
We couldn’t get in to speak to any one we were left in the gutter thrown away like trash. Telling our coworkers not to associate with us. I understand they had to let some of us go but the way they did it was cruel and unjust. If I can sue them I would. I would never win because they are powerful people. I feel like my son died all over again and there is no reason to figure out my why or get up and have a goal any longer. I loved my coach he was great.
I feel embarrassed to go back and not sure they would let me in. My coworkers I loved. My members as well. I will put my big girl panties on and will prevail its just depressing I’m so many ways. Thank you for listening. ❤️.
