.... I return to Weight Watchers with my tail between my legs, begging to be taken back!
I've lost a lot of weight with WW many times, but have always fallen off the wagon. For that reason, after a very indulgent Christmas, I thought I might try something different, something without counting and limits - what a mistake!!
I went to the other slimming group (I don't think I need to name names!), and have stuck to it religiously only to gain 3lbs in my first week!!!! Now, as a WW veteran, I know it's possible to have fantastic losses in the first week, in fact, you expect it! On WW I'd be disappointed with a 2lb loss in the first week, so you can imagine my horror at gaining 3lbs in my first week. The strange thing is, despite knowing I'd been absolutely angelic and had followed the plan to a T, I knew before I stepped on the scales that I was heavier than I was last week. How could I have lost weight? I've been eating huge bowls of pasta twice a day for a week, because on this plan I can have limitless pasta apparently! I simply felt heavier, my tummy was larger and rounder!
Anyway, I'm not here to bash other slimming clubs or diets. I know that this other plan must work for some people because it's a huge, reputable organisation and I know several people (including my mum) that have had wonderful results on it. But it simply didn't work for me and I'm heavier than ever! I was feeling really blue and depressed about it this weekend, but things are looking up. My foray into unchartered territory has taught me a valuable lesson; if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Weight Watchers has always worked wonders for me, I just need to stick to it. I've learnt that actually WW is the only thing that works for me, and I think that will be enough to make me keep going, even when I hit target. I know other people like plans that don't involve counting, but I've learnt that I need limits - I'm greedy!
So, I am back!! Hello everyone. After gaining an extra few pounds on top of my holiday weight, I can anticipate a great first week loss on WW.
Has anyone else had any shocking experiences on other diets?
