LOL RIGHT ON! I’ve never been to WW, but of course, have read all about it. Congrats for seeing through it all and rising above :)

PS got here from Amy’s Blog. Love your blog!

Totally agree with you about weight watchers. One of the reasons I don’t want to go. It just seems silly focussing on points (calories)rather than healthy eating.

The spinach in the smoothie is a wonderful idea. I find it hard to get greens into my diet, even though I quite like spinach.

I can totally relate on this. I joined WW with some coworkers a few years ago, and actually avoided the meetings like the plague because of all the point-freaks that were there. Plus, my co-workers developed the annoying habit of going up to people in the break room and announcing that their hostess cupcake had about ten points, like it was SO GROSS, when hello, guess who used to scarf down those very cupcakes a week ago?! I think that there are a lot of people out there who are anxious for the next quick thing, and you’re right, it’s not nutrition, even if it would actually taste better than the crap they’re eating.

Bacos are a red brick color, and that’s exactly what they taste like, too.

I learned a lot about calorie values of foods and portion control from Weight Watchers. But my main leader didn’t like to cook! It drove me crazy… she would bring in those packaged frozen bags of chicken and vegetables that you throw in a skillet. Just didn’t jibe with my habits.

Then I learned about eating clean from the Cheat to Lose Diet, but unfortunately it’s not too helpful with the portion control! So I use WW online and eat as many clean foods as possible. Green Monsters rule!

They have been giving out free samples at my meeting lately! I either offer them to someone else or bring them home to Nathan. That’s not very wifey of me, is it?

What depresses me is all the junk they sell at the meetings ;) They keep telling me they’re on sale and i keep telling them i don’t eat those things!!

Amen. I won’t throw anything at meetings, I promise. I’ll even resist evil looks!

You? Abuse a system? Shocker!

Alright, Captain Obvious, I’ll throw a kink in my schedule and try a different meeting. Although after my coupons are done, I’m gonna totally check with my doctor. That would be very smart. And not too out of my way!
