NPR: WW Observations

M.Amy

So here I am on week 8 and I am getting the hang of things.

• Going out to eat still bums me out but I have learned I can eat a small amount of one thing I crave using my weekly points. Oh those weekly points get abused when I go out to eat!
• 
  

• I am not trying to cook healthy at home. I am eating frozen meals for lunch and dinner almost every night. I try to match what the family is eating: Tuesday is pasta night in our house so I will break out the Lean Cuisine Lasagna. I figure once I get to my goal weight I will start easing into cooking for myself.
• 
  

• I seem to have 3-4 points left over at the end of the day. Since according to WW I am supposed use up all of the daily points I have gotten creative on what to do with them.
  
•  

15 Lay's Potato Chips = 4

3 Oreos = 4

2 Double Stuff = 4

5 Ritz Crackers = 2

The problem is just eating that small amount. So what I do is count out what I can eat and either DH will finish off the container or he hides the container and brings it to work with him.

Edited because the stupid bullets are not showing up!
