Default weight watchers vs LC

Help! I've been on a WW vs LC roller coaster for the past 3 years. I've gained and lost the same 20 pounds several times over. I can't take the stress of the humiliation of "weighing in" in front of strangers, and I always seem to feel hungry on WW. However, after a few weeks of LC'ing, I'll begin to have terrible cravings for oatmeal, barley, and yogurt. Sugar is not an issue for me. I can take it or leave it. One day I'll see Sarah Ferguson on TV and think that's the only way to go. The next day I'll see or meet someone that's had success with LC, and I'll be back to that. In fact, that happened a few days ago as I lay in my parents' pool in Florida. I was flipping through their MacClean's magazine (we're Canucks), and I saw the article that discussed LC and it featured Karen Barnaby. Once again, I told myself that LC was the answer. The next day I was drinking bloody marys and eating dried Wasabi peas for an hors d'oeuvre. My husband has been very strict since Jan. 1 and has lost about 10 pounds. I just can't seem to stick to one program. Have any of you had real, long term success with LC without yoyoing? I know many folks who have had long term success with WW, but I've only met two people who have LC'd for over a year and kept the lbs. off. Sorry for the novel. Many thanks for your help!
