Willpower and Being Kind

 So what exactly is "willpower" and do I need it for weight loss?

I bring this up because someone posted about receiving another ad from WW "You don't need more willpower, you need the power of Weight Watchers clinic".

She didn't like what it was saying; which is basically "you need our drugs".

This, of course, started one of those conversations that eventually ended with someone telling her if she thinks willpower is all you need for weight loss she's missing the point and another saying she should leave WW if she doesn't like it.

Remember my post from here:  Don't Be Negative With Others  It kind of applies here as well.

Willpower:  the ability to control one's own actions, emotions, or urges

Now, willpower alone won't get you there, but you do need willpower as part of a weight loss journey.

But that wasn't what the post was about...everyone missed the point.  Her point was as a weight watcher member already, she doesn't need to constantly receive ads from them telling her she needs more then just their plan.  

That's it!  That's all she was saying! And, yet, the "holier than thou" WW crew popped out to defend their god - you know, that does no wrong.

She has every right to be a WW member AND not agree with them all the time!!

And guess what?  So do you!!
