For those who bought weight watchers, nutrisystem or any other programs (lose weight, pains)

When was it the time when you realized "I need to buy this?"
What was your biggest concern on the program before you bought it?
What would you say to those who ask you "why can't you lose weight by yourself like I do?"

The last question I have been asked for many times and it can sound condescending. For different individuals trying to lose weight, the struggles are obviously different and we don't necessarily understand each others' pains.

I considered Jenny Craig at one time but since I was married with 2 kids still at home it was expensive and what happens after you lose the desired weight and go back to your former eating habits?
