New Food Finds

While I was grocery shopping today I went to stock up on my favorite 100 calorie packs of Cheetos and saw two new kinds of 100 calorie packs. The first is Lay’s Cracker Crisps, which I tried tonight and really love.  If you’re wanting that salty chip taste but don’t want the risk of opening that big bag of chips, then these are for you.  They taste kind of like a combination of Baked Lays and crackers.  I will definitely buy these again.  At 100 calories, 3.5 grams of fat, and 1 gram of fiber, they are only 2 points. The other [ ... ]

High Fiber V8

I’ve heard that V8 has a new High Fiber veggie drink that will be 0 pts for one serving (8 oz), but for the life of me, I haven’t been able to find it at any stores!  It’s driving me crazy because I’d really like to try it.  Keep your eyes open and let me know if you run across it!

“The Cookie Burglar”

I recently picked up an issue of Good Housekeeping from the stand because there was an article about women who had lost a lot of weight on the cover.  While I’m still in the process of reading it, I did come across a fantastic article about binge eating by Geneen Roth that I wanted to share.  I thought it was very interesting and you can read it here:  The Cookie Burglar.

Yogurt

I know yogurt is supposed to be incredibly good for you, but I just can’t do it.  I’ve tried it so many times over the years and I really have tried to like it, but I just can’t.  There’s just something not right about it.  I think it’s both a combination of really disliking the texture and of the flavors being too strong.  It probably sounds odd, but there is something in it that dries out my tongue.  Ugh.  I’ve tried both fruity and sweet flavors and can’t stand either of them.  It makes me sad because I would love to get all of those [ ... ]

Biggest Loser 3/4/08

WARNING  ***SPOILERS*** I have to admit that I’m completely devastated by last night’s episode.  I’ve been rooting for Bernie and Brittany from day one, so to see Bernie go home was extremely sad.  He should be so proud of himself, though.  Not only for losing the weight that he has, and for accomplishing as much as he has, but also because it was simply extremely decent and kind of him to give immunity to his partner, Brittany.  Before you say what a dumb move it was for him not to keep it for himself, he was not allowed to do so.  [ ... ]

Gum

I know that my gum contains 5 calories if it is chewed, but how many calories is it if I accidentally swallow some of it from laughing too hard? What, you may ask, was I laughing so hard at?  We were watching the movie “Superbad” tonight.  I have to admit that a great deal of it made me cringe, but there’s one scene in particular that cracks me up even now just thinking about it.

“The Number”

There are very few people in my “real” life that know exactly what my starting weight was.  In fact, there is only one person that I’ve actually told the number to (one of my closest and best friends who understands and has struggled with her own weight).  However, anyone who sees me and knows how much weight I’ve lost can pretty much make an educated guess about what my starting weight was or at least its general vicinity. Now that I’ve lost a lot, I don’t generally like sharing how much I’ve lost with the general public (you guys excluded, of course) for that very [ ... ]

Weigh-In 3/4/08

Considering the week I’ve had, I was expecting at least a six pound gain.  Especially since I literally ate everything in sight.  I saw it.  I wanted it.  I ate it. Somehow, miraculously, I was only up 0.4 lb this week!  It’s either a miracle, or it just hasn’t caught up to me yet.  I guess I’ll find out next week.  Keep your fingers crossed for me (or say a little prayer, whatever you’re into)! 

Little Piggy

I have a confession.  I have been quite the little piggy this week.  I’m not sure what my deal is, but if I actually sat down and counted my points for this week, I think the total would be somewhere near Jupiter.   I’ve really been struggling lately and I think I just got tired of it.  I got burned out on Weight Watchers in general and I think I began to resent the fact that I couldn’t just eat whatever I wanted whenever I wanted anymore.  Subconsciously, I think I decided to take a break.  Although that break has turned into more [ ... ]
