Shannon, this is your choice and you have to decide what is right for you. Would you be happier following WW and eating low-fat foods? I know that for me it is a very simple choice, would I give up my steak with cauliflower cheese and extra veggies to eat a baked potato with zero fat cottage cheese? Not a darned chance!

Weigh up the benifits of this WOE (not just the delicious food but the health benefits too) and think if you'll be happier going lowfat/lowcal.

Just an additional reality check - don't mention any kind of diet/eating plan but call this girlfriend up and ask her just how she'd feel if on HER plan she was allowed a massive juicy steak with a big platter of veggies drizzled in butter and/or cheese sauce!
