Plugging Along

I hate to keep bringing up Weight Watchers but yesterday I heard they announced a new program allowing 200 foods to be "zero points." Things like eggs, fish, and yogurt. WHA? Okay, how many ways can I say this is a problem? Why would they do such a thing? My guess is that the recent Oprah inspired program wasn't doing so well and not as popular. In fact, the news indicated that many people had been leaving the program. So, inspire by eating, um, more food? Hello. This isn't celery we are talking about. Eggs have calories and cholesterol. Fish has calories too, despite how few. And yogurt weighs in at least around 80 calories. And that's only the three things they mentioned, there are still 197 more free items newly added. I would venture to say that the longer people need to lose weight the more they stay in business because you ain't losing weight if you are eating things like eggs and fish and yogurt as "zero" foods which, in the past, consisted of things like mustard, flavored vinegar, veggies, fruits, and oil sprays. Come on.

I'm happy where I'm at. I did the dirty 30 this morning and just plugging along with the food plan, working like a dickens to get it all in in a day. Yesterday I found I was hungry more than normal. It could be hormonal, however.
