Re: Does dieting make you mad?

[Guest guest]

Well, diets do work for some people. A friend of mine who'd been overweight

her entire life went on Weight Watchers at age 62 and lost 35 pounds in a

very short time. She got a little weird about points for a while, but got

over it. She's kept it off for over 2 years and doesn't obsess about whether

or not she should eat a cookie. Diets only make me crazy, but for some

people they work.

,

People use eating intuitively and use diets to form a food ally do

not make me angry. I am upset by the comments of obsession. I

realize that anger towards an invidual is misplaced. I am angry at

the root cause that makes people choose obession of weightloss over

health. The statistic that I have read is that 1 in 3 dieters will

have this obession. I guess that is positive that 2 of 3 won't. :-)

Well, my friend *was* obsessed for a while. She would figure out the points

in EVERYTHING and resisted going to a restaurant if she couldn't find out

the nutritional value of its food. She even counted points when on vacation

in Europe. She spent a LOT of time hungry and used all the tricks of

drinking tons of water, chewing gum, etc, but was very strict about staying

within her points. These days, however, she seems pretty " normal " . I'm not

sure how she made the transition from obsession to normalcy. I wish I could.

If this round of Weight Watchers was her first diet, it was probably

very easy for her to return to normalacy. For one thing, of all the

diets out there, Weight Watchers is the one plan that doesn't have

any forbidden foods. In fact, they encourage you to not deprive

yourself of foods you crave--as long as you count the points. They

also encourage you to eat frequently so you don't get ravenously

hungry. Unfortunately, many people who do Weight Watchers come from

years of deprivation diets and don't believe that they can have pizza

or chocolate or bread.

It sounds like your friend used Weight Watchers as a tool to get the

excess weight off and didn't absorb any taboos.
