I have a couple big things I am working on for next week and one of them is that I am going to announce on Monday to my weight loss group that I will not accept nomination to be leader for the next year. The year runs from April to March. There are two honest reasons why I have decided not to do it. The first one (and the one I will tell them) is that I find it to hard to focus on my own weight loss why leading the group. I have been gaining and just have not been able to focus on getting it under control. In order to do that I need to put all my energy into it.
The second reason (and the one I will not tell them) is that I cannot stand the politics - I hate it. A few of those old ladies are downright vicious and negative and as leader I cannot just ignore them as I can while just a member. Unfortunately being leader has not be an overall positive experience for me. Of the 17 of us - 4 do all the work, 2 complain about everything, and the rest just stare.
I am going to remain as part of the group because I recognize that for myself I need to and I want to make positive results again. I know that just focused on myself I will be able to have more energy to do so. I believe I made some headway during my tenure. Hopefully I planted the seeds and someone can tend to the garden of change.
