SUE - Re: MARIE---weigh in for 1st June/question

[Guest guest]

Hi Sue,

Thanks for the warm 'welcome home' and for the Powter information. I

can't say that I plan to put her programme into practice yet because I don't

know enough about it. The thing I like about her book (I haven't got too far

with it yet) is the enthusiastic way she writes against the " brainwashing " of

the diet/weight loss industry. That is something that I have felt for ages and

to read her words just reinforces something I feel strongly about. I hate the

feeling that I am being 'used' by industry giants to make money for themselves.

They have no real care or compassion for their customers - they see us as units

of profit before they see us as people. The care, understanding, compassion and

support of peer groups such as WLB is a far more effective means of achieving

weight loss for me.

Cheers from Marie
