That could go either way. I, too, have been irritated before by the perky Barbie types. My center has some great counselors, but there are also a couple who have never been overweight, and even though they tried the diet for a few weeks (as required when you're hired), they have no clue what most people at MRC are dealing with.
If that's your biggest problem, can you request a certain counselor? I've never done that myself, but I know other centers let you write down a certain person.
Yes, you could get the drinks and do it yourself. I think you'd just really have to examine whether you would follow through or not. I do better with the accountability and knowing someoen will not only see my weight but see if I cheat in my food diary. You may not need that, though.
The worst that could happen, though, is that you could try to do it on your own, and if it doesn't work, you can re-enroll later. Just don't let things get too far if you don't do well on your own. Mark a date on your calendar to honestly re-evaluate the situation-- maybe give yourself a month to prove you can do it on your own.
