You WON'T believe it...

[Guest guest]

My friend saw a poster the other day titled " DIETS ARE MEAN! " . As she is a

fellow IE-er, she

was encouraged and looked closer.... in the background of the poster was a

picture of a WW

meeting. IT was an ad for WW!!!!

If it's not a diet, then why do they tell you how many points you can eat each

day?

If it's not a diet, then why do you have to earn the right to eat more by

exercising?

If it's not a diet, then why do you have to be weighed in?

If it's not a diet, then how come vegetables are " free " instead of just good for

you?

If it's not a diet, then why is everybody on it talking about food ALL the time?

If it's not a diet, then why do you have to weigh, measure and write down your

food? (unless

of course you choose their " Core " plan - then you can eat as much as you want of

the foods

they say are allowed).

I can't eat that... I'm on a " lifestyle " .

anymore!!!!!

Both my hands are in the air!!!! I hate those WW ads...they are totally a diet but i'm sure they've sucked a lot of people in with their "no diet" campaign.
