What's So Great About Weight Watchers? by Karen Higley

Hello hello hello, fellow dieters. Yes, I am on a diet. I hate diets. Always have. Probably always will. Why, do you ask, do I hate diets so much?

Well, I LOVE food. Love it. Have to have it, or else I will die. So will most people. We all need food to survive. The problem I have is that I don't just eat it to survive, I eat it to make me happy. Now, I am not a HUGE person. I have about 20 pounds to lose or so. To some that may sound RIDICULOUS, that I shouldn't complain about only having to lose 20 pounds. But when you struggle to lose even ONE pound, 20 pounds is a big deal.

I have been on this roller coaster for about 3 years now. I started wanting to lose 10 pounds. Didn't work. Now I have 20 to lose. I, like many people, do GREAT for a week or 2. I buy all healthy food, low fat, low calorie foods. THEN all of a sudden have a craving for something salty and tell myself "oh, I'll eat this and then tomorrow I will be really good."

Then I start rationalizing. I say, "if I eat this cookie, I'll skip dinner." Of course then I DON'T skip dinner, so I have to tell myself that "tomorrow I'll just eat all fruits and veggies, no fat." Well, for breakfast there is this giant bag of sugary cereal just staring me down saying "eat me, eat me." And so the vicious cycle goes on and on. What do I do??? Well, a few of my friends have have loads of luck with Weight Watchers.

I have been on this plan for a MONTH now, can you believe it? What's so great about Weight Watchers, do you ask? Well, there is a reason it's the number one weight loss program in America. if you want to keep up with how I am doing, read my blog at the link below. I am going to do my best to update my blog every day to keep me motivated. So far I have lost 7 pounds, and still going strong!!!
