Let's PAY to stay sick!

Did you know that you could join weight loss programs out there - you know, like cookie cutter programs everyone do this, everyone eat this, everyone eat that, everyone pay this much per week or month bla bla bla bla bla bla - only to eat the same foods that are making you sick??? So, we could join these programs and PAY to stay sick! And these programs PREY on fat women like us. And, people who work with these programs say that they are advocates for women like us and that they have no hidden agenda in reaching out and targeting us... (you know, like, perhaps, a paycheck).

Is PCOSLiving a commercial website as opposed to an informational site? Those of us that work with PCOSLiving are paid how much? ZERO dollars. We do this WHY? Because we want to help people!!! Our paying jobs are having ANYTHING to do with weight loss, PCOS, or even HEALTH care of any kind?? NO!!! In other words, we do not benefit in any way except in our hearts knowing that we are doing good.

Companies that "sell weight loss" (Nutrisystem, weight watchers, etc) make money off of and prey off of FAT people. They do NOT address the underlying cause of obesity or health issues such as chronic inflammation. They promise to make you thin and pretty and for that, you will pay money. The biggest money making industry in the country. I would bet that 90% of the members of pcos forums want to lose weight. How many do you think look into these weight loss companies when trusted advocates subtly endorse them, thinking it's all innocent...

BUT HELL. If the PCOSA (a NON profit website) advertises anything they are put through the freaking RINGER for it. The PCOSA funds, what little there are, do NOT go to line anyone's pockets, I can guarantee you that!!

PCOSLiving found something that really helps people. We found HELP. We don't have any kind of agenda or ulterior motives. Why can't people see the TRUTH?????? And people can cut us down... But they can't look in the mirror at themselves and see the LOG in their own eye.

    Well at least some of us are all about New Dawn!
    I did WW and lost 10 pounds only to gain back those ten and add an extra 5 into the mix. Great system. And let's not even go into the promotion of these refined flour/sugar substitute crappy a** meal plans. Yuk. No wonder my body said FU afterwards.

    You know how I feel about this. Honestly it is shocking. AND you are not alone, and I am not even talking about me.

    I know longer pay to be sick, I now invest in my health! Vitamin C and a blood test? I'm there!

    Weight Watchers has helped me lose 20 pounds so far--I love the accountability--and the fact that its a lifestyle thing, not a "diet"--and I don't eat any refined sugars or flour at all. I rarely even eat wheat.

    For what its worth.
