Hey Doll!
I have been doing the WW program online since last April and only recently started attending meetings. I HEART the program (and I hestitate even calling it that because I don't really feel like I'm doing anything program-like).
I decided on WW because I have done every fad diet there is. And I do mean EVERY fad diet. I have tried pills, tapes, hypnosis, motivational seminars, pretty much everythign short of having surgery and I wasn't able to lose weight with anything.
In all honesty, something clicked in my brain when I had my mini-stroke (LITERALLY!) I knew from that point on that I could either continue to ignore my health and treat my body as if it was a house I could move out of or I could get in touch with my body and take control of my health.
We only get one suit to wear on this earth and I was treating mine like shit. I had to get to the root of the "WHY" to make any real progress. I have now lost 50 pounds. It's taken about 9 months. I've had hiccups along the way and a few bumps in the road but I am more in touch with my body and eating habits than I have ever been.
WW let's me eat pretty much anything I want. Unlike a diet like, say, Atkin's, I am not limited in what I can eat and don't have to forego entire groups of food. I have pizza every now and then. I had a hamburger with bun this weekend. I eat a piece of chocolate if I'm craving it. I don't feel deprived AT ALL and that has been a huge reason why I have been able to stick with the plan for this long!
Glad to see you on board girlie!
