Am I the only one who hates Weight Watchers, etc?

I have a friend who lost 40 pounds on weight watchers. A mutual friend who's never been overweight is getting married. The bridesmaids went to lunch and all that we discussed was how wonderful weight watchers was and how healthy it was and how much healthier my friend is. She's smoking twice as much but that was never mentioned. I'm really angry at both of them. I was also treated horribly by the Bridal shop where we were measured for dresses. These are some of my oldest friends and I just can't stand them right now. Am I being too mean? I just want to bang it into their heads that "dieting" isn't healthy and people who lose weight on those programs aren't role models. Now I'm afraid to even go to the wedding events. Please help me get more balanced on this.
