Recently I decided it was time to stop being like Oprah about my weight and actually choose a diet that works. After reading about the terrible diets out there (Atkins, South Beach, Slim Fast, Special K, and my personal favorite and most disgusting - Nutri-System) I decided that my best bet was with Weight Watchers. So $65 later - I was signed up for a 3-month stint with Weight Watchers online. This plan required that I enter in all of my food online, keep to my 22-point per day allowance, and do my weigh-ins every Monday. Thus far (and I signed up in January mind you), I LOVE IT! I am already 10lbs down - woohoo!I will say that at first, I thought that I was the only one of my friends, aside from Jenna and her mom, that I have ever known who did this diet. Clearly I was wrong. As I have told people about doing this diet, Weight Watchers alumni have been coming out of the closet to me like my gay friends did in college!
So why did I choose Weight Watchers over the other 4 million diets out there? To me Weight Watchers creates a lifestyle. Instead of not eating carbs, or having a shake instead of an actual lunch, I get to continue to eat whatever I want! This includes my favorite foods - pizza, penne vodka, fresh mozzarella cheese, sushi, macaroni and cheese, shrimp, etc. I mean what is life without the ability to indulge in your favorite foods? I know that when I die, my friends will be able to say - she came, she went, and she damn well had some wings in between! So to all of you who are looking for a great way to loose weight in a sensible way, and for a diet that will teach you how to eat for life - I highly suggest Weight Watchers. Bon Appetit!
