And they wonder why obesity is a problem. Would you eat those things? And I mean even if you were starving, not if you just wanted to lose a few pounds?

Seriously, though, I just joined Weight Watchers yesterday and I'm trying to find a computer program to convert custom recipes into WW Points values. There has to be one, right?

I would have to be starving to the point of massive hallucination before eating THOSE recipes, but rest assured, WW is a lot prettier these days. I know this because my mum just passed her one year anniversary of WW, and it's done absolute wonders for her. There should be a points counter on the WW website, if the rumors I hear are correct, and you can use it for free as long as you are paying your membership fees. So try looking around for that. If you'd like, I can ask Mum about some Weight Watchers stuff once she gets back in town- I know she's got links and recipes and all sorts of things that might come in handy.

My mom and sister have been going for a while (my mom is freaking anorexic, and if she loses any more they'll kick her out, while my sister continues to make excuses that her lack of a loss has nothing to do with her refusal to count points honestly.) I was just kind of hoping for something I can punch an entire recipe's worth of ingredients into and have it spit me out a serving size and a points value for said serving. Probably a pipe dream, huh?

Probably, that sounds way too logical to possibly exist. But it might!

I kind of want to try Weight Watchers, but my life is so varied and chaotic and I'm getting food from everywhere, so I think counting points would take way more time than I have. Which is disappointing, but I think I'll probably have to wait to do anything like that til I graduate and everything settles down a bit.

It actually doesn't seem that hard. Counting your points is a pain in the ass except now most places you eat can give you nutritional facts and if you've got this nifty little silver calculator I've got, it's actually pretty easy. You just punch in calories, fat content and fiber content and it tells you the value. Plus it can act as a regular calculator, which is handy as all hell. And you automatically get 35 "flex" points so if you overdo it one day you can borrow from that, and if you don't, you can have one day where you binge and spend them all on alcohol.

Besides, I don't seem to remember you being in particular need of a weight loss program.

Well, maybe I'll give it a shot, then, if it's that simple. And if I don't have to work too hard at this writing-down-everything-I-eat thing.

No, I'm not in dire need of a weight loss program, which is why I haven't bothered too much to find one... I've just got about 10-15 lbs that I can't get rid of that puts me a bit over the top range for my height/BMI (frankly, I think it's all boob-weight, really.) I eat mostly healthy and am active-ish, for someone who only wants to sit around on the computer or reading all day, but that bit of weight just sticks around. *shrugs* I'm mostly satisfied with the way I look though.

Except for these damn knockers. :P
