Hi Sharon! Its good to hear WW doesnt do the scare stuff anymore. I think it affected my mom badly emotionally, and it trickled down to me so much that I turned against the whole concept of dieting.
I was cleaning out my mom's hoiuse before she sold it, and found her oooold WW weigh in cards from 1968. I was freaked at what it said on the bottom: "Having learned the message of freedom from Weight Watchers, I will now carry the message to the compulsive overeater who still suffers". Give me a break! Sounded like a religious cult to me. Glad to hear they have improved over the years though!
I'm also glad to hear they got rid of the concept of "legal" and "illegal". As a kid, I thought "legal" only applied to food (lol)...besides, telling ppl that certain foods are always bad is not good. It sets a person up for failure, because human nature being what it is, the more someone is told they can't have something, the more they crave it. Just like this past week, being Passover, I couldnt have bread, so what did I crave? Exactly...pizza and bagels. LOL!
