People, there is a reason why I write and don't speak, and one listen to The Daily Special will tell you why!

Yeesh. I could not have sounded like more of a dunce today! Thankfully they have editors to clean up my stammering. So if you're here for the first time, yay! Thank you! I represent much better on a blog! Seriously! If the interview isn't up yet, well, it will be soon!

I know what I didn't do a good job of conveying is that I don't have anything against programs like Weight Watchers - I really don't. They help a lot of people get healthier, and lose weight if that's their goal. They certainly introduced me to healthier fare in ways I'd been completely ignorant to before. What I have issue with is that, you know, Weight Watchers is a diet and the current trend is to be "anti-diet" so the way in which they're going to sell you their diet is to convince you that it's not.

And sell is the operative word here.

In the end, any program that has you operating on such restricted amounts of food is a diet. And there is no way that anyone can exist on such a small calorie intake and not go a little nutso at some point. And that, my friends, is a diet.

Anyway, I'm so honored and flattered that I was asked to join The Daily Special today. If you're not a regular reader of Elastic Waist, you're missing out! And is Kimberly not so adorable and awesome? Love it.
