[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 637816, member: 15473"] Weight watchers is great but not necessarily for diabetics and not for everyone. Diabetics have to watch carbs and sugars. I had weightloss surgery so let me give you this advice. DO NOT KEEP FOOD SHE CANT EAT IN THE HOUSE. it's an addiction that doesn't have a support group that truly works. Diets do not work. Eating healthy works. Long term you can't spend your life counting points or calories. But if you learn to eat carrots and bell peppers instead of chips it will help. nope they are not cool but they taste good and replace junk. If you buy ice cream. Buy a cone from McDonalds. If you get popcorn get a small mini bag. Buy sugar free Popsicles and fudge sickles. Buy small individual size snacks. Yes the cost more but the point is they are restrictive. A individual serving of chips is bad. But I can guarantee you she will eat less than if you leave her a family size bag. I have a fourteen year old with weight issues too. She choses to eat poorly away from home and at home if I slip up. I swear she can find the four ingredients in the pantry that will make something bad for her. I'm to the point of locking the cabinets to keep her out but then it would just stress her more. [/QUOTE]
