new WW program

I find it amazing that no one knows any details yet. When they went to flex
points, the details were all over the internet weeks before its release
date. Kind of iritating cause I just bought all new stuff when the flex
points came out.

Interesting. I wonder ... is the second (new?) program going to be similar to a
low carb type thing? Maybe trying to capitalize on the current craze? Hopefully
I'm wrong, but doesn't sound like something I'm interested in anyway. I don't
believe in eating until satisfied (which to me seems like a rather loose term ...
not sure if I'm EVER satisfied!). Calories are still calories ...eat more than
spent and weight will increase. I wish they would give us a choice to use the old
points program, without the flex points. I know, I'm probably always going to
complain. LOL

The second program sounds odd. A list of foods from which you choose
items. Supposedly, you eat until satified and I gather no counting or
journaling or something like that but the info seemed very vague. I'm
sure that I will stick with the older program - the one before FLEX.

I need more structure than "eat until full" I am not liking the sound of
this at all, but I think it might have its applications, from what I am
hearing it might be worth looking in a situation where you wanted to keep
control but not figure points, like a cruise maybe, Lee, hater of change

I'll be interested to see what all is involved. It does scare me a bit, at least
for me. I like the more common sense approach of the current ww ... anything
allowed, in moderation. I fear the *eat until whatever* would not be a good thing
for me. It would have to have limits as to what food types/items you could do
this with, which would lead me to think that it would be more restrictive ...
which would lead to the *when I'm at goal I'm done* routine. Then what?

I think "NOT COUNTING" is the idea for those who really want it simple
and without any calculating. I have a feeling there also may be a bit
of low carb to it but that is merely a guess. I have only picked up a
snippet or two and nothing very concrete.

May I ask, above, I placed quotes around a phrase and also used
uppercase letters - what does your reader do with text like that.

As someone who once said to her children, "What does not being hungry
have to do with not eating?" eating until I'm satisfied is not a good
idea. My appetite does not have an Off switch.

Oh dear. I don't recall ever saying that to my kids, but I do understand. I seem
to work the same way. I'm not sure what satisfied is ... eat until I'm physically
ill? I can be full and still eat, no problem at all. I know I NEED that portion
control type of program.
