[Sca-cooks] Cook's Night Out

[Sue Clemenger]

That's really weird.  I do WW, and nobody does any yelling at all, and 
we don't have "coaches," either....just speakers that organize the 
meetings and various little cheerful types that do the weighing-in and 
such.  As a matter of fact, the whole program is very heavily into 
getting away from labeling foods as "good" or "bad" and into teaching 
you all about portion control and nutritional info and that sort of 
thing.  I can't think of a single food out there that's on some sort of 
no-no list, although some stuff you'd want to eat in small portions.
Makes me wonder if there was some sort of other dynamic going on with 
your friend, or if she attended years back (WW used to have some 
*weird*- at ssed rules, like liver twice a week <blech>)....If I'd been 
her, I would have turned that person in to WW management or whoever so 
fast, someone's head would have been spinning!
