But,
I was within my points!! That is what I love about WW's. Monday I had my regular Kashi for breakfast and a snack, and had stopped by the mall and had steamed veggies, shrimp and rice. I went to weigh-in prior to eating, so when I came home I had 2 cups of a pasta dish I had made on Sunday. I was feeling full, and had 9 points left over for the day. I really didn't want to eat any more "food food". DH and the kids were getting Ice Cream, and preparing to watch a movie and have a "mini family night". DH had bought my favorite.....Chocolate Peanut Butter. It's so good, and up until that point I hadn't desired any. I figured out the points and it was 4.5 for a 1/2 cup serving. Hmm, 2 servings would be 9 points. That is exactly what I had left for the day. I ate it! I did feel slightly guilty, like I was cheating or something. How can you diet and have Peanut Butter Ice Cream?? I guess that is why I love WW's so much, because I can have the things I really enjoy sometimes. I just have to eat it in moderation. So much for sticking to lower carbs that day! Just dinner and my dessert were very high carbs.
I just had to share, and let everyone on WW's know..........it's ok to have that special something that you really enjoy as long as you stay within your points. I think that is why I am loosing so fast this time around. I am allowing myself to eat the things I really enjoy, just in moderation.
Melanie- Do I still have chocolate and peanut butter on my face??
