Okay, people…the ship is going down and I’m sending out an SOS. I don’t know what my deal has been over the past month. I’ve stuck so diligently to the weight watchers plan for the past year that my recent struggles are really getting to me. It’s like I’m rebelling or something. I know that perhaps I have been too strict on myself. For the most part, I looked at sticking to my points like someone else would look at sticking to the law. I considered it a crime to go over my points. Don’t get me wrong, I did [ ... ]

As I mentioned in a previous post, I love 100 calorie packs for their portion control. One of my newest finds is a yummy snack found in the form of 100 calorie packs of Cheez-It Cheddar Chex Mix. They make them in original flavor, as well, but my natural obsession with cheese has lead me to only try the cheese version. And let me tell you, they are scrumptious. The portions are rather small (as in just about all 100 calorie packs), but I believe every bite is worth it!

Kraft Reduced Fat Parmesan Cheese is a beautiful, beautiful thing. I’ll start out by saying I hate salad. Okay, I don’t really hate it, but it is pretty far down on my list of things that I would choose to eat if I were hungry.

Beautiful, blissful, utopian cheese. I could live on cheese.
I hate, however, using part of my daily points allowance (Weight Watchers’ Flex Plan) on [ ... ]

I firmly believe that overeating (or food in general) can become a serious addiction. As with any drug, food can become a compulsion – eating can become a need that you find yourself unable to control. You can find yourself in a state where suddenly you’re halfway through a bag of Cheetos and you don’t even realize what you’re doing.
Unfortunately, within our society, drug addicts and alcoholics seem to be looked on with much more sympathy than an overweight person. Overweight people are merely assumed to be lazy, stupid people. Often, this is far from the case. Some people are overweight due [ ... ]
