dianevill said:I am a Weight Watchers fan myself. I joined last May and have lost and kept off 50 lbs. As mentioned in earlier posts, it's learning that you CAN eat, but control the portion. WW really does teach you real life eating. There are two plans: Flex, in which you count Points, and Core, which you eat a variety of foods but eliminate quite a few as well (it focuses more on the healthy foods and teaches you to eat until you're full). I do a combination of both. I count Points, but really focus on eating healthy. The motto I follow is: "Garbage In, Garbage Out", meaning that when I eat junk food, I feel like junk! When I eat healthy, I just feel SO much better.
I think WW really teaches you a lot about yourself, esp. the triggers that make you crave food. You learn how to re-think.
Just as important, or even more importantly, is exercise (WW refers to it as "activity"). Remember that you can be thin and not be healthy. If you have the attitude that "I have to exercise to lose weight", chances are, you'll stop exercising once the weight comes off, and guess what? It'll come right back on again!! Exercise needs to be a part of your life, just as is brushing your teeth, taking showers, etc.
It's all about making healthy choices in our lives: eating to fuel our bodies, not our emotions, exercising to keep our hearts and bodies healthy. Of course, most of us give in to temptation from time to time, but it's important not to beat yourself up over it. Pick up and move on .
Good luck on your quest - it's lifelong!! On another note, it sounds like from this thread and a few others that are floating around that there are quite a few of us looking to live healthier lives, so there's a lot of support here. I'm looking forward to hearing others' opinions and success stories!
Oh, to the poster who commented about eating their kids' leftovers (I'm a huge chicken nugget fan myself ), I say "better to waste than my waist!"

mistym said:I am now in the process of going more organic and eliminating hydogenated oils and modified oils. These are nasty critters found in ALOT of stuff. The Weight Watcher Cakes are full of them - ACK!
