The point they are trying to make about 'stop dieting and start living' is that WW isn't about going cold turkey on all the food you love, but it's about cutting back on the food you love. You can still eat everything you always have, but the idea is monitoring how much of it you eat. I don't seen anything in that commercial which would make anyone feel horrible about themselves. Instead it;s an advertisement for a prgram which emphasizes healthy choices and , gasp, moderation! A good principle for anything in life. The fact is that people all over the country deal with eating issues and weight issues and commercials like this aren't playing on anybodys "insecurities", but it is offering sensible help in order to make people healthy.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05697447084483553573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730657139931062421.post-40772773126564838382009-05-06T16:14:00.000-05:002009-05-06T16:14:00.000-05:00My mom works part-time for Weight Watchers and she...My mom works part-time for Weight Watchers and she's always said that it's more about consciously making healthy choices and creating a healthy lifestyle as opposed to dieting, but I suppose it's easier to sell curbing immediate hunger urges than a lifestyle. Another thing about Weight Watchers - your goal weight has to be within the "healthy" BMI range - so she's said that she's seen people at a healthy weight who haven't made the set goal within the BMI range pushed to lose more weight (unless they have doctor's approval). I find that kind of ridiculous, personally.lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13285797515594923013noreply@blogger.com
