I just couldn't stand it anymore and had to cancel my Weight Watchers plan. Sure I just wanted to do it mainly for the accountability and was never big on their idea of nutrition (I get that they're trying to appeal to the average person so they make it easy to follow), but every fiber in my being began to rebel against it. I have lost about 10 pounds so not to trash talk them completely but I just couldn't watch people in lines to weigh in, buying processed carbohydrates because they were "only 2 points" and listen to people in the meeting talk about which microwave popcorn is the best brand (where you can eat the biggest serving for the least amount of points). I just wanted to scream, "Don't you people know this is all just frickin' SUGAR?" And microwaves - that's an entirely different and scary issue (still recoiling at recently adding one to our house and SO want to return it).
My mind spins out of control with thoughts of insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, estrogen dominance, food sensitivities. . . None of those things are addressed at all with Weight Watchers. They aren't nutritionists and just have no clue.
You know who does? Me. So, I'm doing things my way - in a way that resonates with what I know and who I am. Because I had the money saved up and we're ahead of where I wanted to be in the bill payoff game, I bought a Vitamix today! I've been wanting one since 2003! It's not a magic tool to solve all my dietary concerns, but it sure is exciting!
Maybe I have a snobby case of "I know more than you" when in comes to Weight Watchers, but I just have to trust myself on this one.
