Weight Watchers ?

Fam,I know people that are always complaining about their weight but never do anything about it. My question is,how can you expect to lose weight when you continue to eat the worst snacks/meals possible? Example. We go out to eat....

Me:"I'll have a grilled chicken sandwich and a salad."
Friend:I'll have a big mac and large fries with a large Diet Coke "

The next day

Friend:"I can't understand why I'm not losing weight".

Me::confused: :confused: :confused:

Now, I have been on diets before and it's hard but I never talked about it until I was serious. Personally,I don't think that anyone should go on a diet unless THEY want to, but if you are going to complain about your weight,then you have to be part of the solution. Am I wrong? sigh.Ok,I got that off my chest.Now,I feel better

I think it's always easier to talk about losing weight, then actually doing it. I've done it myself. "I am going to lose twenty pounds".
I start off great, eating salads everyday for lunch. but the next thing I know I want soup, salad, sandwich, a muffin, and some french fries. It's hard to stay dedicated. But I never wonder why, I always know, it's cause I am too damn greedy.

mmm hmmm, I got that bad, talking about losing weight, and before I know it, I am rocking the vending machine trying to get that bag of Cheetos that is caught on the hook inside....

And a person can act like those calories don't exist....I recently bought a journal that tracks what you eat, and whether you get enough water, that kind of thing....and for the first time in a long time, I saw just how much crap I eat. I was horrified!

So, my commitment is to eat real food, and leave the fake food in the vending machine. And bringing real food from home to eat when I am at work. That alone will cause me to lose plenty.

I've never understood why a person orders everything in sight and then drinks a diet coke. Does the diet coke wash away all the calories they just inhaled? WTF!!!
