yes i had a bad night last night. i don't want to get into details, we all know how it goes.one thing to the next, to the next.....anywhoo, i use weight watchers. which is a good program i like it, but i am not a big fan of the meetings. honestly i feel that i get better support from this site without the whole being on trial and paying money every week thing. honestly this website has lifted my spirits more than any ww meeting i've ever been to, and now makes them kind of pale in comparison. i know the program, i hate the meetings. i don't want to go anymore. i always thought that being in an institution of discipline would give me the best results....but i feel now like i don't need it because i found other things. what do you think? i mean lastweek i gained weight because i had my period and was bloated and i swear that the person weighing me gave me a tight lipped dirty look. quiet shame is what you get from them when you " fail" it's always been like that. sure they exhault sucess, but do bad and no one has anything to say to you about anything. do bad here and you will have 50 people writing you giving you hope and a leg up within hours.....i don't know just ranting a little bit.

I'm sorry you had a bad night, HotDoc. I've been having a rough few weeks too lately -- I'm not bingeing, per se, but I'm eating JUST ENOUGH over my caloric needs to still be gaining weight. And it's not just emotional eating either, when I finally give in, I'm REALLY hungry! It's so frustrating to know that if I just had the discipline to avoid that last 100 or 200 calories I'd be able to lose, or at the very least NOT gain, any weight.

Thanks for sharing your opinion on WW. I was thinking about joining Weight Watchers here, but after hearing your review, I think I'll skip it.

Try not to beat yourself up over last night -- we all have setbacks, but today is a new day. Wishing you the best.
