I disagree with this. I love food. Food is terrific, a gift in our
lives. I plan my melas in advance, what you would call dream about
what I am eating tomorrow, so that I may have good healthy choces
that are a joy to my palate asa well. I also plan ahead so I can be
assured that I have meals that sustain my staisfaction as well as
conform to my desired calorie intake.

There is nothing wrong with enjoying food. Enjoyment is a wonderful
thing! There is no superioirity in viewing food as only fuel. If
that attitude works for you, rock on. But for those of us who enjoy
cooking, food will continue to be a wonderful thing to share with
family and friends and to enjoy!


Yes there is nothing wrong with researching recipes and making food
that is a delight to the eye and palate. That can be quite a
satisfying hobby. BUT that does not mean a person can or should eat
every last bite. Eat simply was is need for sustenance and save the
rest for another meal or day. Share with other people.

Many of the WW recipes are a joy to the palate but that is no excuse
to eat too much.


Hmmm. I wonder how many people on WW eat too MUCH. That seems an odd
concern.


It's pretty common for them to "fall off the wagon".


As long as there IS a wagon, people will fall off of it. Be it a WW wagon,
Atkin wagon or whatever else.

Learning a new lifestyle means finding a new way to live, that is livable
long term, and enjoyable. That way there is no reason to fall "off the
wagon" cause there is no wagon to fall off of.

That's what WW is teaching. The diet mentality is strongly discouraged.
