If you are so anti-WW then what are you doing posting in this group? We
come for support. Not negative feelings toward the program.

GO AWAY!!!

Right on, Joanne! Mental attitude and commitment to a healthy lifestyle
are all that are necessary. But continuous mental focus on proper
lifestyle is difficult, so weak-minded people choose to follow the WW
creed, instead.

WW is all about meetings, points, and eating harmful foods "in
moderation" to satisfy those cravings. Oh, and about collecting
membership fees, of course.

Can you imagine that a WW member (above) posted that drinking water was
such a struggle??!! And take a look at www.weigh****chers.com: much of
their Website is glitzy pictures of food! Make no mistake: WW is a
for-profit operation, first and foremost. Actual weightloss is second
priority.

"The points-based plans (like WW) control portion size by allowing
calories that should be consumed on healthy food with very small portions
of potentially unhealthy food. This strategy gives the dieter a false
sense of the real nutritional changes they need to make in their lives
for long-term success. If one seriously wants to lose weight and keep it
off in the long-term, they need to think more comprehensively about the
foods they eat. The program does not put a priority on exercise, which is
essential. Long-term group therapy impedes the development of
self-reliance and self-discipline, which is clearly the most important
trait in those 5% of dieters who succeed in the long-term. Although
Weight Watchers is an average diet program, you'll see way better results
with today's top diets like Nutrisystem and Medifast."

The unvoiced WW motto is "There's a sucker born every minute - keep those
fees coming in." WW cleverly appeals to the desire of overweight people
to continue their addiction to fattening food and to avoid strenuous
exercise, despite their common sense. Did you know that a large food
producer owned WW for two decades? Now, tell me, why would a food
producer want to own WW?

The result of this victimization of members, sadly, can be seen in the
many postings in this NG by WW members who experience yo-yo weight
fluctuations throughout their lives.

I WILL NOT GO BACK TO BEING FAT AGAIN!

You may say that, but without scrutinizing the whys behind your
recent weight gain, you are doomed to repeat it over and over again.
Why would you continue to eat/indulge/large dinners etc when you KNOW
thats the road back to packing on the pounds? Once in awhile swiftly
becomes and everyday habit again. Is it simply self-sabotage? Is it
denial? Usually, those who keep the weight off make certain decisions
to change things about their lifestyle, while those who gain it all
back just cant take that leap and continually go back to habits they
know are self destructive. So I think there is alot to be said for
fixing ones head with an introspective look before you begin WW again.
Plot the next two weeks to set small goals, clean up your eating,
increase your exercise and then reweigh yourself. I think you'll be
surprised that alot of the temporary bloat is gone.
Going to WW meetings, posting in groups etc are all good support (dont
get me wrong here) but if you dont have the 'faith' to do it for
yourself(to know you have the inner strength), its kind of like
sinning outside of church. You know you shouldnt but you do anyways.
It all comes down to you and the choices you make and not solely
relying on the support of others to somehow 'make' you change
temporarily, gaining it back, and then running back to them to
remanage your eating habits again and again. Kind of like a vicious
cycle. (Been there done that!) You have to make your own checks and
balances and decide that you want this to be a permanent change for
the better. WW has given you the nutritional education base you needed
at one time, its up to you to implement it and stick with it.
