No Wellness Wankery

50: Maybe you didn't fail Weight Watchers? Maybe it failed you? An honest conversation about WW


Listen Later

In the weeks since Lyndi has released her new book Your Weight Is Not The Problem, she heard from multiple (ex) Weight Watchers customers that after posting a photo of the book in the WW Connect forum, it was almost immediately deleted by admins...

Seems like WW knows she might be onto something and that’s got them worried. And so they should be. The evidence is clear and people are starting to listen. Not only do diets not work, they overwhelmingly do more harm than good.

And with all this talk of WW..the ears of No Wellness Wankery were engaged. Both Lyndi and Jenna have been through the school of Weight Watchers and have come out with the scars to prove it. Looking at foods and having their 'points value' etched into your brain, bingeing on 'free' foods or the dread of a public weigh-in. 

Lyndi put the call out on her Instagram for her lovely followers to write in with their tales of WW and the response was overwhelming. So we knew we needed to dive in.

This episode is a space free from diet judgement or 'failure'. A place for you to know that you haven't failed Weight Watchers, it has probably failed you.

Note: For legal reasons, the following episode is based on personal experiences. Many of you kindly shared your stories with us. Names may be changed to retain their privacy. But all stories are told as they were shared. 

"This book has literally changed my life - 26 years of eating disorders, disordered eating, fitness challenges, diets, and psychologists. This book in 3 weeks has changed my life beyond measure! I can't believe this won't help anyone who reads it."

It's feedback like this that adds fuel to my fire. If you haven't yet, read Amazon's #1 Woman's Health book.
