Reply from Madelyn, Age 17 - 08/21/11 - IP#: 76.126.248.xxx Nice way of saying that Melissa :) I completely agree. I've been doing weight watchers for over a year now. I'm sure a lot of diets can work but its just that not all of them can last. Taylor's totally right. But so is Melissa about doing what works for you.
Reply from Melissa, Age 17 - 08/21/11 - IP#: 24.2.110.xxx I'm doing weight watchers and it's worked wonderfully for me. And yeah, by all definition it is a "diet" but it's taught me so much! I've learned I can eat things I love as long as I control my portions. I've learned that exercise makes me feel good. Weight Watchers has taught me to control myself which I think will be the most valuable thing when my membership there ends. I understand what your saying about diets, they are temporary and it truly is about making a lifestyle change. I agree completely. We've got to stop telling ourselves that we are on a diet and just tell ourselves that this is the way we live now. I think a lot of diets are useful, they offer good advice and they work in the moment. However, if we don't learn from our diets and apply what we learned after our efforts have totally gone to waste
