WW
I do think there are lots of good things about Weight Watchers. The recipes come to mind. I got so many good cooking ideas. That's about it.
I got a little frustrated with leaders & receptionists talking to me like I had never watched my eating in my life. The first time was understandable, but I just got really aggravated by it. For example, I'd share in a meeting and the leader would look at me like, "How do you know what you are talking about?" Another lady came out and said, "And how much have you lost, baby?" Needless to say, she was SHOCKED when I said about 80 lbs. I much preferred the Jenny Craig Method of one person per consultant. But, I really needed ways to cook for my entire family and WW does do well on that point.
At first the point thing was fun, but now it's a pain. I guess four years of counting calories and knowing my magic "number" was so much easier than starting all over again.
Here's the bottom line - the main thing I needed was missing. I'm an emotional eater. When I feel out of control, I want to eat. One way I can deal with that in a healthy way is to TALK, EXPRESS and Write. Neither the WW meetings nor the tracking gave me that outlet. I never felt as cozy and comfy to share my thoughts in the WW online center as I do here.
How do Moms do it? Seriously, Moms are so powerful and yet most of the time, I think I'm superhuman until my kryptonite (FOOD) suddenly is controlling my nights and days.
