how many points are in annoying

I juust recently read I'm Not the New Me by Wendy McClure. She is a contributing writer to one of my favorite sites, Television Without Pity. A while a go, she started a weight loss website called Pound. I guess it was pretty popular and inspired a lot of other women. Now it has become more of a self-promotion and self-absorbed blog. (unlike this self-absorbed blog)She is obviously a funny person and a talented writer, but this memoir could have been so much better.

To get sucked into that whole weight loss community is like a cult. She takes her whole fame and progress in stride, like she writes about it and is known for it, but shrugs it off as dumb for people who compliment her about it. That's annoying. Clearly she maintains a website about it and wrote a book about it, so own it. Jeez. Although she does follow the weight watchers plan, and there is nothing wrong with that. Except when people become obsessed with it, constantly going on the message boards and constantly talking about point values and shit. Which she does.

Also, if you want to see the saddest/funniest thing, go to a WW meeting in central Connecticut. People think asking things like "Does an Appletini count as a fruit?" and then laughing hysterically makes them fucking hilarious.

Speaking of fucked up eating issues, today my parents decided that we wouldn't have dinner. Because we ate out for lunch. Yes, that's the reason. Eating out for a meal means "being bad". I had a fucking salad. Man, I don't need to pay a therapist to dtermine the source of my issues.
