Hello, Old Friend

Well hey there, Weight Watchers.

We had our halcyon days together, back when you helped me lose that Undergrad 25. You were perfect for me then. But afterwards I saw your flaws . . . you enabled, even encouraged me to eat fake foods with artificial sweeteners. Reduced fat everything. Chemicals everywhere. I left you. I wanted something better.

I tried it on my own, but losing weight and eating real food was hard by myself. Without you around, I couldn't set limits for myself. The snacking went on forever. While it was a delicious time, all good things must come to an end.

So now I'm coming back to you. I see you've changed--a new formulation for points that doesn't involve calories. What a turnaround! Some say you've made it easier to eat real foods and lose weight. I'm willing to give you a second chance, old friend. This time, to lose the Grad 10. And to do it deliciously, with real foods.

I'm excited, but nervous. I'm afraid of yet another failure. But, I believe in taking risks in the name of love of food. I believe in second chances! I take you back, Weight Watchers. Come here, you!
