Ever see Little Britain? There's a sketch they do called "Fat Fighters". Mama hen is so reminding me of the Fat Fighters group leader...lemme see what google turns up:

Have any of you seen the episode of Little Britain where somebody from the "Fat Fighters" group meets her at the supermarket?
It's hilarious

Oh, I haven't seen the supermarket one, but I LOVE Little Brittain, and particularly Fat Fighters. Makes me wanna pee my pants laughing, especially since it so closely resembles WW people I know!

Seriously! I've been there. WW makes you plan your day down to the last slice of cucumber. I would prepare my day's meals on the super low or free points just because I knew I would come home and binge! Duh. Counterintuitive much?

I've been enjoying this too! Swhite, thumbs up on your comments to her at the work cafe. I'll bet you were as sweet and nice as anything, too!

I've joined WW three times over the past 30 years. Every time I was hungry, my stomach was acting up, and I got sick with head colds. I'm back with low-carb now, and loving it.

just FYI, The points on that meal is (drum roll Please) 36 points for the chicken wings, Potato wedges is 5 points for a small serving....whatever that is. So at the very least that is 41 points. Now depending on her size she can be allowed any where from 17 to 44 points per day plus an extra 35 to spend per week. My guess by being the oldest and feeling the need to monitor her weight she is probably closer to 20 points per day. Not a whole heck of a lot of food. She blew her whole weekly extra and then some on one lunch....No wonder she isn't losing.

Next time she comments on your food, Smile and ask if she enjoyed her lunch the other day.

Or better yet, smile and say "You must really be keeping tabs on your meals. You used 40 points the other day (say this louder so everyone else can hear) with the chicken wings and potatoe wedges." That should keep her from you for a tad.

Man, I'm starting to feel sorry for the poor woman.

Yes, she's annoying. Yes, she's bossy, etc, etc...

But really I just felt for the poor thing when I read that last story. Trying to do what she's been told all her life and failing so miserably. Doomed to failure by misinformation. Ah, well, watch gonna do...
