Don't Be Negative With Others

I was on one of my WW FB groups where a new person was asking why fruit wasn't free anymore on the plan.......  the first response pretty much told her that nothing is free and everything has calories, blah, blah, blah....

I really hate that answer and see it all the time.  Don't play the know-it-all...you know what she means "She doesn't want to count points for fruit".  The person, of course, answered somewhat confused...as she should of been, you didn't answer her question.  Immediately the person who owns the group (yep, the influencer) commented that the person who answered was telling her how nothing is free.  Alrighty....we still haven't answered the question.

I, of course, answered it as did a few others.  All she said was that she was not eating healthy at all and wanted her fruits and veggies to be on her food list.  There then was a few comments basically asking her how she expected to lose weight if she didn't eat healthy! Don't be the downers people! Answer the question, be encouraging.  There was so many ways this could be have been answered.  For example:

"Hey, you must have answered that you are pre-diabetic or diabetic; go into settings and change it and then fruit will be on your zero food list but if you are diabetic, you may want to count fruit.  Oh and FYI - zero points doesn't mean zero calories, nothing is free.  Good Luck!"

See?  It was an easy way to answer the question and give your know-it-all advice as well.

And when she mention not being a healthy eater?  Rather than berate her; a simple:

"It's great that you want to add healthier foods to your diet.  Good Luck with your journey."

Don't be negative with others struggling!
