Flavorful and healthy recipes are just one meal away.
When you think of someone who does Weight Watchers, what do you see? Chances are, most of us picture a range of different body types. But chances are, none of these body types look like Victoria’s Secret models.
A friend of mine definitely doesn’t fit the stereotypical idea of a woman who diets. Which is why I have to admit, I was a little surprised when she told me she did Weight Watchers.
“Wait, are you really trying to lose weight?” I asked, nosey friend that I am.
“Sometimes, yeah,” she told me. “But most of the time, I just enjoy the program for keeping my health on track. It helps me stay in tune with my nutrition and pay attention to what I’m putting in my body.”
I was not alone in thinking that Weight Watchers was only for people actively trying to lose several pounds. It’s actually a pretty common misconception.
However, Weight Watchers has made its goal to help people everywhere to assist weight loss as well as maintain weight loss since it was founded in 1963. People following the program enjoy all the benefits my friend mentioned, and they can also lose weight in the process if they need to.
