Re: Sorry for getting all unfunnybusiness...
I've recently started Weight Watchers, which despite the name I tend to like because it's largely based around teaching people to eat healthier. But this has been on my mind a lot because i've gotten really GRAR about the whole weight loss obsession thingand incredibly frustrated with my sister who ahs bought into it lock, stock and barrell, eats horribly if at all, and feels the need to tell me I'm being "bad" for putting a piece of cheese on my veggie burger. Neither of us are vegan.
But the only reason I'm doing it is because I want to eat healthier, and I've had to promise myself that this is my goal, not weight loss, and will therefore probably only be weighing myself occasionally because my weight is calculated into the points system. That, and diabetes kind of gallops in my family, so you can see why this is kind of a priority.
Despite that, I still think choosing not to get into this when my doctor suggested it last year was the best choice for me, because i was in a much worse place, mentally, and probably would have slipped into disordered eating.
tl;dr WEIGHT LOSS IS NOT THE POINT OF HEALTHIER LIVING, IT IS THE OCCASIONAL SIDE EFFECT
