After much thought and thanks to so much constructive feedback on the WW boards, I'm now an online only member, effective this morning. It's going to cost me $30 for 3 months, instead of $40 for one month, and all I have to give up are the meetings that are obviously frustrating me so much. I already do all my tracking online, and really my support community is online, so I can't see that I'm giving up much of anything except a 45-minute drive and 45 minutes of boredom! But I hereby make a promise to myself that if I find my resolve/accountability slipping, if I find that I'm underestimating the value of having to show up every week, that I will again become a meetings member.
The only thing I'm sad about is not getting to celebrate my upcoming 10% milestone in a meeting. But since I never found one that felt like a community for me, that's not much of a price to pay--it's more of a notional than an actual loss. I'm so happy with my progress and feeling so dedicated that I think the success itself will be plenty of its own reward.
Thanks to those readers who I know from the WW boards and who offered their advice.
