I have learned that my addiction affects me physically, Mentally, and Spiritually. So I know I need to be working on those three areas every day to become well. (better than well)
This will be my blog about my journey to those lands.

Low Carb or Weight Watchers?
Posted 04-05-2008 at 07:30 AM by slimdays
This subject has come up on our WW's board. Since most of us have done both it has been interesting.
I think I did low carb in 2001 - 2002. I lost a lot of weight really fast and I was enjoying food that had been on the no-no list for years. It was fun at first. I met ppl on this website and we started gathering once a month at a restaurant location and having a very good time with one another. It was the first time I ever met someone I had only known online.
The problem was that I really missed some of the foods that were not on low carb. Potatoes, fruit. I noticed that when I was food shopping I was lusting over the bananas. After a while I began wondering how can this be all right not to eat fruit? God meant for us to eat the fruit of the trees.
So I had 3-4 years of just doing no kind of diet. My weight sored to it's highest ever. It was a struggle to do anything physical. I knew I had to do something but I still hadn't given into going back to WW's of which I am a lifetime member.
In January of this year I made the choice and I am so glad I did. WW's is a plan that I can live with for the rest of my life. It makes sense. It incorporates all food groups. I can have what I want and count my points and move on.
I think I can lose weight on any diet if I am doing it according to the plan. I always knew that. So it is which one do I want to live with? That would be Weight Watchers!
