I started weight watchers (WW) in July 2010, it is working really well for me and so far I have lost 4.5kg! Great news as I am hoping to lose about 30kg all up and improve my PCOS and insulin resistance by improving my weight. I have tried other methods and failed and I was so glad when WW started working. I notice the improvements WW is making in all areas of my life.

But I started to feel all icky the other day when I was reading the material they give you... it would seem that WW has some sort of sponsorship/advertising deal with Nestle. I have been on a self imposed Nestle ban/boycott for some time and I have made conscious efforts to avoid them and their subsidiaries/affiliates. I do not know how I missed this. I saw a few adverts for the Nestle Diet Yoghurt and thought not much of it - I just thought it was a one off ad... but other WW documents (like the journal) are plastered with Nestle ads and I think I can recall seeing - sponsored by Nestle or something similar.

I feel like a hypocrite if I continue with WW now that I know about the Nestle stuff but I need the support of the meetings etc and you can only go to them if you are a paid member but I also detest paying them knowing about the affiliation.

Argh!!!

I feel like I am stuck between a rock and a hard place.
