UPON MORE CAREFUL THOUGHT
At a Weight Watchers meeting a new member was disappointed because she had lost only a few pounds during her first week. She complained, “A friend of mine, who was also on Weight Watchers, said she’d lost ten pounds her first week. She said I’d do the same.” The leader, stressing the idea that slow weight loss is permanent weight loss, asked, “Who is she to say? Is she a doctor?” The woman answered, “No.” “Is she a nurse?” She thought about it and replied, “No.” “Well, is she a nutritionist, a Weight Watchers leader? Anything?” The new member thought for a moment, then replied, “I think she’s a liar.” Adapted from a story in the Reader’s Digest
