Guest guest Posted February 21, 2002 Report Share Posted February 21, 2002 WOW, way to go Wayne.. I am an ex WW and I totally agree with you, once you see the BFL way suddenly everything they teach at WW sounds a bit strange.. They certainly don't focus on nutrition and exercise... Good for you..

I went to the gym with more determination than ever this morning, and actually scared my trainer :-) _______________________________________________________ Oops. I forgot to say how funny I thought the story was too. I especially thought it was REALLY funny about the lady wanting to eat nothing but cookies and have seperate points for real food. It almost sounds like one of those 12-step anon groups. I thought I needed them at one point, the original AA one, but did some major research on them first. The only real thing good about it is the group concept of being able to be around people with the same problem as you. Other than that it teaches powerlessness, helplessness and that you need to be constantly on guard 24/7 because you never know what'll make you fall of the wagon (whether your trouble be with food, alcohol, drugs, etc). I didn't want anything to do with it, especially since I realized my problem was over-reaction. Besides I save a few beers for cheat day since I can't afford all the extra calories. When I do have a beer, I swig that 95 calorie amstel light and flex my bicep watching the .9 grams of protein and 3 grams of carbs make my muscles swole and so Huge I have to take away the H.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2002 Report Share Posted February 21, 2002 I'd think that a lot of these program don't want their clients to succeed for the long-term. They want repeat customers. Someone might lose 20 lbs or so and to them the program may have been a success. Then they go off of it and don't find BFL or something else that works to keep the weight off and build muscle so they go back to what they did (or some other similar program) before since it " worked " . The cycle then repeats. Andyman > OMG> i have a 12-step story. so years ago, i wanted to lose wt. this " dr.

Kind of catches you off guard if you hear him call it that, but thatis what it is. Andyman _______________________________________________________ Ha! That made me think of one time when I was in the bathroom and a friend of mine and his 3 year old son came in. He went into the stall to help his son urinate. My friend teased me talking to his son saying, " Let's go in here so you don't make matt feel inadequate. " I knew he was talking about p-word size. A second later his son says, " I have a big pee-pee, like daddy. " He and I laughed hysterically for 5 minutes.

I don't want to, and will not argue this point, but I know many people whose life benefited immensely by AA. But, as I said, each to its own. Marta :-) _______________________________________________________I agree totally. AA (or 12-step groups)is a start that can help people. Those people can either elevate the group or stagnate in it since there are more groups out there that teach people inner strength and teach them to trust themselves. Like you said you, you don't want to argue about it, and I don't either. Especially since I'll win. Tee-Hee.
