15 Years of WW® (Client Confessional with Alyson)

"WW had convinced me that I was uncontrollable with food, i.e. I could not be left alone with any food. They had scared me to the point where I thought 'only if you follow this will you ever have a normal life again. If at any point (in the 15 years of doing WW) I had convinced myself that my body was beautiful, they would have lost a customer. In the end, they financially benefited from the fact that I stayed heavier in my weight and the fact that I could not be convinced to appreciate my size."Nourished & Free alum, Alyson , joins me as we walk down her disordered eating journey with WW that was 15 years long.TOPICS COVERED 👇 Alyson’s background and her relationship with food [3:40]The beginning of Alyson’s dieting [14:29]Alyson’s dramatic weight loss [18:25]Alyson’s Weight Watcher’s Journey [20:30]How Alyson stopped thinking about points [27:45]Mental health and dieting [29:13]Body neutrality as a win [33:28]Weight Watchers lifetime membership scam [36:00]Alyson describes how she felt when her weight came back [41:28]Alyson discusses other health-promoting behaviors she has been able to adopt [48:44]Is Weight Watchers a diet or a lifestyle?
