Want a good WW laugh?

MIL is on and off WW every time we see her. She starts to eat and announces the points but then starts eating and eating and eating and ends the meal with 'oh well, there goes my diet. I'll start again tomorrow.' Now I'm all for having a meal out and just not caring about what I eat, so long as I plan for it but she's the type that doesn't follow it entirely. It turns into an 'I will start my diet tomorrow' on a regular basis. Now onto the funny part....

Yesterday she was complaining that she's not really losing (Hmmm...wonder why), that she's losing a half pound now vs the 5-6 pounds she'd lose on the old plan every week. Bear in mind she's a little person and just a little pudgy. I find it a very, very hard time believing that she would ever lose that much weight every week. Well, since she's only losing a half pound, she decided that the plan doesn't work and called weight watchers corporate to complain!!!

Re: Want a good WW laugh?

I work with someone like this. They reward themselves with a donut after the gym or after they lose a pound.
She says she stays in her points but then says what she actually eats. She eats out all the time and doesn't get that you need to cook at home and eat healthy to lose weight.

Re: Want a good WW laugh?

both of these stories r hilarious!
what reaction did she get from corporate and what did she expect them to say? LOL

Re: Want a good WW laugh?

I'd love to hear what corporate had to say. It's like when people used to put like 10 grams worth of benefiber on ice cream and count it as 1 point and then complained they weren't losing.

I know sooo many people that think its out to eat whatever they want just because they went to the gym. I can see maybe if they ran a half or a marathon...but I mean, they'll walk on treadmill for half an hour then reward themselves to a meal out!
