I am a nurse and I am also a lifetime member of weightwatchers and who ever wrote that to you is purely jealous! Weight is not understood fully by anybody including nurses and Drs. Weight can come due to hormones/ age/ low thyroid, Diabetes.. I find it to be a disease and equally an addiction as any other addiction, but harder because you can't give up eating entirely.
We need support and whatever you can do to lose weight is a good thing. Be proud of yourself! At least you care enough to work on it.
Most people are jealous. I am happy to know that you are managing to do those two together because Wt Watchers alone hasn't been helping me at almost 55 years old, and I would like to do both the band and wt watchers too! Thanks for the info!!
