It’s the start of Week 3 of my Noom program. That means that in addition to my Goal Specialist, Kyle, I now have a Group of I’m not sure how many other Noomies, and a Group Coach, Whitney.
I’ve avoided checking in with them, because, really, do I need more people in my life?
I’m sure I’ll hit the group later today, because I’m a team player, but do I need that? I’m self-motivated, so I just don’t know whether it’s necessary.
[ LATER THAT SAME DAY ]
I checked in with the group.
I was tasked with introducing myself and providing a photograph to go with that introduction.
Meh, I don’t do photos, so I stuck with a written, verbal introduction.
Everyone else posted photos, so I can see at a glance that the group — at least those who have posted so far — is mostly women.
They seem like a motivated group. A few are from Texas, where I live. Others are from other states in the US and one is from Canada.
[ THE NEXT DAY ]
Our Group Coach, Whitney, put a request out there for us to answer what our Satiety Goal is. There’s an article to read to determine one’s Satiety Goal. I read it.
I don’t know.
I had two bananas for breakfast, and that satisfied me. I just now had two Smart Dogs on Trader Joe’s Hot Dog buns with sauerkraut, and that satisfied me.
Sometimes I eat a lot in a few meals. Sometimes I eat a little in a lot of meals. Sometimes I barely eat at all. (Admittedly, that last one is a rare occurrence.)
I guess by Noom’s standard my Satiety Goal is Simply Satisfied. That’s me. I just want to stop the hunger pangs!
But I don’t need a group to help with that.
I acknowledge that I’m being a bit curmudgeonly here, but I’m truly not into group stuff, especially with people I don’t know. I am motivated. I am strong. My friend Tara is also doing Noom, and that’s all the support I currently need.
That may change, I suppose, but I consider the group participation demotivating, so I’ma skip it.
