I really need a lift guys and gals. I haven't posted properly since last week cos I didn't want to be bringing my negativity on here but I just don't know what is wrong this week. Like I have no idea weight wise if I have gained or not cos I don't WI til Thursday but I just feel down. I have been keeping on track and exercising. I start a new job on Monday and have to wear suits which I hate so went shopping for stuff last night and I am just not noticing any changes with my body even though I have lost about 20lbs. I just couldn't find anything to suit my shape, leg length, colour ugghhhh. Hate shopping, clothes do not make me feel good! They are my enemy.
Sorry guys don't have anyone else to say it to. 0 -

Hey everyone hope ye are well, congrats on the losses - some fab ones especially the 50lbs gone!! Fantastic!
Just wanted to pop in & say hello, I'm still sick in fact I'm worse than last wk & had to see the dr yesterday who put me on stronger anti B's & ponstan to try rid myself of this strep he also insisted on 4 days off work... I'm in bits no lie my poor mouth is full of mouth ulcers & my throat is so swollen I'm unable to eat anything. I ate 12 points on sat & only 6 on Sunday & that was mainly down to ice cream which I do not like & cannot usually eat because of my lactose intolerance but 'had' to eat something before my drugs. I managed some soup today which is good but again only coming in at 14pp.
Re that thread.... I have been following that & others for quite a while. Some of them do get up my nose but that said I do think there were some valid points raised in it ( do not shoot me please!) I am following WW yes & it's working for me & I know it will continue to work for me but only because I eat a balance of nutrionally sound food, exercise alot & for me it's a lifestyle change not a diet & I've not cut food groups out of my diet entirely so for me it's easier to maintain once I get to goal.
I don't believe I'm in a cult but I do believe that WW is a money making racket when it comes to the bullsh1t food products & sugar laden 'snacks' it's trying to offload for the most part none if that is healthy. But let's be fair here WW is not advocating meal replacement of 'real nutrient rich food' with a WW ready meal followed my a ww dessert & 3 WW chocolate bars .... For sure there are ppl out there doing that but they are being lazy looking for a quick fix & are going to be the 90% who put the weight back on. There is a gap in the Market for that & WW has filled that 'gap' by offering the products ( or at least licensing their brand name to makers of those products)
The vast majority of ppl in this thread eat well, exercise well & are of the right frame of mind but I do sometimes read posts on this thread & think to myself WTF x is deluding themselves with that kind of logic. But you know what it's their journey if they want to do that, it's THEIR business, I'm not going to agree with them, I'm on my journey.
I'm never going to use low cal spray oil, I'll always use olive oil & extra virgin OO in my salads, I'll continue to eat avocados, salmon & fresh tuna, 70% dark chocolate & full fat cheese if & when I want it & you know what WW allows me to do that!
The posters in the other thread make an assumption that most on WW is either a fat person with a sugar addiction or a no clue how to eat nutrionally sound fat person in a cult. Frankly I don't give a fcuk what they think & none of ye should either I agree 100% that the quoting of ppl from this thread Into that thread was a low, bitchy sad move to prove a point & I don't agree with it. But that said I can see how someone who probably has to read every single post that goes up on this board can sometimes feel like hitting their head off a wall with some of the 'advice' that gets doled out on here.
I'm not sticking up for them I just see both points of view. I would suggest that those who don't know much about nutrition start looking into it to prepare themselves for maintenance I would also suggest that they read the charter.
I'm sorry for how long winded my post is I'm not trying to offend anybody but I did want my own pov here too & as the other thread is locked I said I'd post here.
We're all on our own journey & the choices we make are our own, our mistakes are our own & no program is 100% going to work unless you follow it to the letter - life is for living & personally we could all do with a little bit of sugar, a little full fat, & a better body to live that life to the full! Some ppl may be happy on a protien & veg only diet I'm not one of them but that's there choice to make as is my way my choice!
I would also say that there are ppl who are in WW who are not realistic who will work the program & get to goal & bang 3 yrs down the track end up heavier than before. But that's not the programs fault that's the person themself it's up to everyone to educate themselves about food not just0 -

I'd suggest difflam gargle 20 mins before you eat i've had tonsilllitis twice in the past 2 months and found it really helped, if you don't eat before taking those antibiotics you're poor tummy will be in bits. i managed spagetti hoops with this. hope you're feeling better soon0 -

I used the other forum for 4 months last year and posted a food diary there till the mods stooped people from doing so,i did learn so much about food and
nutritional what i should eat.I just went back to ww for the support and weigh ins and that's why i find this thread so helpful.I to use olive oil and i eat my nuts and seeds and full milk.I know this time when i lose the weight i will keep it off because i have learned about food and that is the only way forward for people who want to maintain there weight loss.I have tried some of the new ww food some of it nice but i do try yo eat fresh home made food 90% of the time.
There is a lot to learn from both threads and i would recommend the people to read through that thread.I did find some of recent posts there very condescending and i felt they were mocking certain posts which is unfair.0 -
