Yea there are a few that rub me the wrong way to, but doesn't do any good to

say anything to them especially in front of 600 or so other members and this

should be done privately. If you have issues with anyone on this list,

please take it privately.

a,

I just can't stand not saying out loud that I am about to fall out of

my chair...... you have in the past given me such grief over being a

WW member ..... and now you say that you would join if your husband

would let you???? What changed???

I have always said that the MOST important thing we can do for

ourselves, whether we are a postop patient or just a normal person

out there who needs to be healthy, is to learn how to eat in a

healthy manner for weight maintenance and that is what WW does for

me. You are also always telling people to put away the scale -- but

that is a NORMAL part of weight management too - knowing how much you

weigh and if you go up more than a pound or two doing something about

it! I weigh myself every day when I am at home -- not to " obsess "

about what the scale says but weighing for me tells me that it

matters today what I eat because it WILL show up on the scale if I

don't watch it. My goal is to be healthy and live a long life, see

my kids grow up, see my grandchildren, etc. and I can't do that if I

am not vigilant about what the scale says and what " fuel " I put in my

body.

I am really not bashing you -- just curious as to why the " about

face " .

did i miss something? who is rubbing you the wrong way? i didnt see

anything about anyone rubbing people the wrong way... were you

responding to some private post not on the list? just wondering.

also, i saw where julie was asking why you changed your mind so

completely about WW. in fact, i too, wondered the same. for years

you were dead set against WW and especially against weighing. i

remember getting a lot of grief about throwing away my scales when i

was plateauing. have you really changed your mind or did you just

not mean to post that comment about really wanting to join WW? i

have always thought WW had a good basic plan for everyone dieting or

not. very nutritionally sound as i recall. has the WW organization

changed something to make you want to join now? do tell.

Regarding weight watchers. I think whatever works for anyone is great, none

of us have the magic formula for everyone. Personally, I had been on weight

watchers many times, WW1, WW2, WW3, etc, we compared it to world wars! None of

which I won in the long run, ha ha. Anyway, I like WW better years ago when

there were exchanges, it really taught me how to eat properly. (even if I

chose not to after that) When they changed to the point system, I found it

hard

especially being a diabetic, as you can have anything as long as it's withing

your point allotment. That was too unstructured for me. I was eating way too

much later in the day and the wrong things. However, if someone chooses the

right things and has the point total to keep them from overeating, I see more

power to you! Just " weighing in " on how I liked the old WW program better,

although it would be hard to get all that food in now. barb dudley

.... I'm glad I'm a lurker. I don't know if my ego could take such gracious

acceptance from peers when my experiences cause me have a change of heart and

embrace a way they have always proposed...

I am also a feeler personality and tend to read emotion into words. So please

understand that this is not a criticism, just an observation from a sensitive

soul who felt a jab.
