I am no stranger to weight loss plans.  I’ve been on every diet under the sun starting in my teen years.  Here’s a list:

 

• the lollypop diet
• the grapefruit diet
• Slimfast
• paleo
• Atkins
• South Beach
• Nutrisystem
• vegan
• vegetarian
• low fat/fat free

 

Weight Watchers is my favorite.  It is healthy, doable and I can lose weight and keep it off.  The trick is staying on it.  I need to stay on it for the rest of my life.  That’s quite a commitment – like a marriage.

 

What I like about Weight Watchers is the accountability.  Count is in the word accountability.  With Weight Watchers you have to count – points.  It makes me ever aware of what I’m putting into my mouth and how much.  An overeater by nature, I need those limitations.

 

So, knowing this, why do I ever go off the WW plan?  That’s pretty simple. Because l want to be a pig and eat whatever I want!  So I  go off, pig out, get fat.  Then I don’t want to be fat, and return to WW.

 

We all want what we can’t have.  I cannot eat like a pig and stay thin.  It just doesn’t work that way.  I hope I have learned my lesson.
