Theresa’s Take – Take 12 “Weight Watchers @ Church”

Weight Watchers has just started a new meeting at the East Henrietta Road Church of Christ. You are probably saying to yourself, really, why? Think about it, the church is the place where believers in Christ come to equip themselves with the tools needed to overcome sin.  Weight Watchers teaches a healthy way to live. Weight Watchers @ Church is a perfect combination. How many times have you heard someone say, “Eating too much is just a sin?” Well, if that is true, some of us have eternal reservations for a really hot spot.

My understanding of the biblical scriptures is that gluttony is a sin.  The sin of gluttony encompasses more than just eating too much at one meal. It is more indicative of behaviors that need to be corrected. The pearly gates don’t slam shut just because you ate a whole bag of Oreos. Gate closure begins when you take your kids’ allowance to buy the Oreos. They continue to close when, with cookie crumb lips, you tell those kids that you donated their allowance to charity.  The Angels will hang a “do not enter” sign when you smile as you hand the cashier an expired coupon to buy one pack of Oreos, get one free.

Weight Watchers does not endorse any religion, however, it does teach healthy behaviors. This at-church meeting works by transforming the worship place into a supportive and healthy environment to lose weight. Success is achieved by eating healthier using the Weight Watchers Points Plus Program, moving more and becoming mindful and smarter about food choices. The members will address common church eating challenges such as the Building Fund Fish Fry, and the Ladies Day Pound Cake Bake Off. The beauty of Weight Watchers is that no food is off limits, not even cookies! You just have to calculate your food choices into your daily points plus allotment.

USNews and Reports ranked Weight Watchers the #1 best weight loss diet plan, and the #1 best commercial diet.  Follow the link to see how yours truly corrected her behavior to find success on and off the scale.
