Oh, yeah, saw it, done that. Like you said keeping it off is the hard part. Unfourtainly people who are naturally skinny just do NOT understand that it is not a question of will power. It is GENETIC! So we have to constantly watch what we eat when they can eat whatever. I just wish they could "walk a mile " in our shoes!

Don't know if anyone else saw this a couple of years back.... the episode of Oprah where Kirstie Alley did a tap dance in tights to show off her new weight loss? I felt like crying for her because I knew what would happen. Yup, she gained it back. And, for her, all so publicly. Poor woman.

After reading what everyone said and getting off the floor where I had fallen laughing.........A few years ago I went on a diet and lost about 35#...The problem was the wrinkles!!! I had wrinkles in the strangest places!!! I may have looked good when I was all covered with clothes, but I live in Florida!!! So I put some of the weight back on until I could stand to look at myself again.Of coarse, I keep my bra on!!!! :lol:

You go girl! You have every right to share your story!!! YOU are a success story!! I too found WW not what I thought. It seemed clichish to me - no one really talked to anyone unless they were friends. Plus $15 a week, driving there . . . a pain!!
LOVE your story!!!! You are motivating and inspiring!
