Yep this is exactly what I mean...Weight Watchers. I joined Weight Watchers on Saturday and I thought I was going to have a hard time doing the dreaded "D" word...DIET! But it's not as bad as I thought
I have my 20th High School Reunion coming up in Sept. and I want to lose about 10 pounds. Plus I want to become more healthy and start eating better than what I did before. Being on Weight Watchers I can basically eat what I want but it's all based on points. I began to think here I go back to my childhood and I am on the point system. I get to eat 24 points in 1 day and then for the whole week I have an extra 35 points to mess around with.
I am not sure how they calculate the points. I bought a special calculator that the center sells. All I have to do is put in my calories, then total fat grams, then total fiber and some how my points appear for that particular food. For example 9 small Gobstopper Jawbreakers are worth 1 point. This means I can't eat the whole box in one setting. I can pace myself and have 9 jawbreakers a day, that's if I want to waste 1 point.
The fun part of this whole dieting thing is trying to find food that value no points but are still good for you. For example a 1/2 cup of broccoli without butter is 0 points! So I am on a mission to find the less value food. I figured the less value and healthy they are the more I can eat.
That's my tid bit for the day. I will post in future post on how I am doing. My next weigh in is on Saturday. I hope at least I lose a pound.
It's Enough

I lost 60 lbs doing weight watchers about 5 years ago. I have sinceput it all back on. I am on the ww wagon again. Down by 6, too bad it is like taking sand out of the sahara.
One of my fave treats is 12 jelly bellys for 1 point. The delightful wheat bread ia i point for 2 pieces too!
Good luck, You can so do it!
