Sleeversary and Weight Watchers LIES

Tomorrow is my three month sleeversary and I want to list the things I love about the sleeve:

Controlling what I eat, instead of it controlling me

Smaller clothes! Although this is ongoing and every changing

Knowing my limit in terms of eating and feeling satisfied thanks to sleeve

All glory to the sleeve LOL

Also I want to know how many other sleevers had multiple attempts at changing their life through the corporate liars I call Weight Watchers. I have spent so much money and time with them and it was all for naught, please tell mesomeone else has had this experience.

    Part of the issue is they only hire people who have lost weight and maintained on weight watchers which usually means leaders that have only lost about 20-30lbs. It makes sense of course business wise

    I think it works for some people, but for people who have true food issues and have a lot to lose, it isn't right for them. But everyone is different. I hate that it constantly changes. I was doing

You are not alone! I have probably spent thousands of dollars over the last 30 years with WW.

I had a bad experience with them. When I plataued they acted like I had done something wrong. They act like women aren't supposed to gain fluid weight before their periods.

When I needed proof of my meetings for the insurance company they were absolutely horrid.

I have spents thousands of dollars at ww. Everytime I would say that it was going to but it never did.

Also the system is constantly changing. The support part does help but when it comes down to it is still is about will power and the spend your points on what you like mentality doesn't really encourage balanced eating

My 17 tear old lost 65 pounds in one year on weight watchers. She's dedicated and motivated so WW worked great for her.

Also, my mother who is 8 years post bypass follows WW to maintain her weightloss.

But everyone is different.

I hate that it constantly changes. I was doing well on it until they changed everything. I hate that it is mainly just a money maker and that they have to keep changing it so you have to go out and buy all new cookbooks, calculators, etc.

I also felt like my leader wasn't very helpful and that the people I was in group with were pretty addicted to food but that was never a topic.
