the dark side of diet club...
Garden club prevented attendance at WW tonight so it's weigh day on Thursday, which is probably a good thing as today wouldn't have been a drop I suspect (it was only 300g lighter on my home scales this morning). I'm beginning to suspect that WW is a cult - it takes my money, it's got me changing my life style to fit it's model, actively encouraging the introduction of others to their "club" and all the signs are it expects me to maintain this lifestyle forever...
But it could be argued I am already in a cult with the ISA Experience. Again paid money, attend sessions, change life view they encourage you to stay involved so you don't loose the ISA touch... OK so the ISA probably is less about "buy more stuff and you'll progress" than WW but do they conflict? How many cults can I be in? What defines a cult as opposed to a way of life? Why do we automatically assume cult membership is bad but religious affiliation is generally viewed in the mainstream as a positive thing? Someone's been eating of the question tree tonight....
