Do you know how I was able to determine if my WW was temp checking me? With some guidance from this board, I learned that any "praise", "checking in", "wanting to just talk", "have dinner with the family", and so on is just the WS gauging how you would react if they did any of the above.
Just remember the responses you need to give if they ask or tell you:
Praise - "Thanks!"
Checking on you - "Great!" or "I'm good"
Wanting to just talk - Keep it as short as possible and you end the conversation first.
Have dinner with the family - Don't. This was one cake-eating stunt my WW pulled on me two weeks ago. It was after I saw Sandi's response basically stating that the WS is basically keeping you hooked as a plan B when she pulls this.
I'm sure folks can provide other examples of temp checking, but the bottom line is the same - They're checking how attached you still are to them.
