I lost 50 lb a few years ago using Weight watchers and now I've gained back 25 and I have been trying the last year and a half to lose it. A few weeks ago I signed another one year contract with them and I'm already regretting it. It is messing with my mind so much. I try so hard to be perfect and then I definitely fall into the WTH effect. If I go over my points, I say well I've already messed up for today. Screw it. I might as well eat everything in the house and go out and get fast food and a gigantic milkshake and just start over tomorrow and I can be perfect tomorrow. It is causing me to be food obsessed and just wanting to eat all day long. So today I told myself just try to do three meals, no snacks, and no dessert. And I enjoyed my meals and I was able to stay busy because I knew that if I could just make it to the next meal I could eat whatever I wanted and not have to count or measure anything. I don't know why I keep straying from this plan. It is so conducive to just living your life without wasting so much brain power. Dieting and points are just using up way too much of my brain energy. I hope this board becomes super active again like it used to be back in the day. I always loved this community. Everyone was always so kind and supportive. I don't have anyone in my real life to talk to about this stuff because everyone around me seems to be naturally thin with no disorder thoughts about food.So excited that the bulletin board isn't going away!

So excited that the bulletin board isn't going away!
A big thank you to Reinhard for putting in all of the effort to save this page. Every few months or so I hop on to the Facebook page and just glance at the pictures. I love seeing pictures of other people's plates,to see what everybody else is eating. I have been off and on no s for about 13 years. Today is day one, again, and it was a green day!

Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.
Re: So excited that the bulletin board isn't going away!
So glad to hear it! (and glad I didn't totally give up on it but kept it limping along all these years until the good bots got more powerful than the bad bots and I could revive it).
I think I should be able to keep it in fighting trim going forward.
Main thing is the humans come back now too.
Many thanks to you valiant few humans who toughed it out during the long interim!
