Reminds me of when my son was around 12 years old and he said he’d never had liver, and wanted to try it. Now, I hate liver, but I didn’t want to discourage him from trying something. So I bought a small hunk of calves’ liver and cooked it up with some vidalias. It was one of the biggest laugh fests my son and I ever had. It was so bad that it got to the point where we were daring each other to try one more taste, and the steak knives were being used to cut smaller and smaller and smaller pieces to the point where you could barely see them nor get them onto the fork.

The dog and cat feasted that night. Jason and I ended up eating Pizza.

don’t be ruining chocolate for those of us who view it as the very base of the food pyramid.

I feel like I’m starving on WW, but I drop pounds when I’m on it.

And I’ll pass on the liver. Or any experiment involving liver.

Weight Watchers is a good program but they do make you think about food ALOT,plus after you’ve been there awhile,you start to notice that the “new” food plan you get in January is not that much different from the one you got the same time last year. They just change the names and some of the portion amounts.

Thanks for pointing out the chocolate contest sign-up,Robin! Maybe Santa will put in a good word for me:)

I went on Weight Watchers back in the day, and all it did was make me gorge each week right after the weigh-in. I figured I’d have another whole week to work it off, so why not have the ice cream and whatever else my craving heart desired?

I know a lot of people have had success with WW, but it made me obsess about food ALL THE TIME. Any diet does that, at least for me. I finally lost weight when I gave up dieting forever. That Paul McKenna book (follow the link in this post to the McKenna link in the other one)is a great one for that. You should order it. Trust me.

You have no idea!!! =)

I joined Weight Watchers last January weighing in at 175. I was down to 151 by my engagment part in June… and now I’m back up to 173 =(

I think it’s the stress. I’m a stress eater and I have been really stressed out with school, work, fiancés, etc.

Maybe I need the liver smell in my apartment to turn me off from food?!? Or maybe I should take my large stressed out self back to weight watchers. =)

On a side note… I’m having “boudoir” pictures taken January 20th with a few girlfriends for our husbands / fiancés, so that’s been a major motivator to work out. I might need to try the “liver/chocolate” method to end some of the bad food cravings!

Wow! Hmmm… maybe I should try that whole mix what you love with what you hate thing. I gained 20+ pounds since June =( (Thank heavens I’m 5′10 and can pack on the weight without too many people noticing!)

Ugh… and good luck with the liver smell. That’s so nasty!!
