Yesterday's lunch did not satisfy me (Sister2). So today, with careful inspection, I sorted out 13 orange perfectly triangular Doritos for 4 Weight Watchers points to have with my lunch. Yup. It might seem like a waste to spend 4 precious points on Doritos, but oh! it was worth every bite. My 3 year old saw them in a neat little pile on my plate and said, "Chippy!" and then took his life in his own hands by reaching out to take a chippy from my plate. My eyes widened and I screamed, "NOOOOOOO!" His hand froze in mid air and I managed to get him to the kitchen for his own little bowl of chippies. Wow. That was close.
The rest of my lunch I thought about more carefully. Only 1 slice of bread with a lot of lettuce, 1/2 of canned chicken mixed with light mayo, freshly ground pepper, red onions, a Claussen Kosher pickle and baby carrots. All for a total of 8 points–I was thrilled and filled.
I ask you this. Is it normal to hold a Dorito to such a high standard? So high that it can not be shared with my son? Will there be a day that I eat healthy without ever thinking or measuring? Is that how skinny people stay skinny? Do they never eat Doritos?
You have managed to find a way to make dieting funny!!! And that plate looks like a lot of chewing so I hope it was as satisfying as it looks. Maybe I need to look into the point system. I am a Virgo and the thought of a system intrigues me...lol.
ReplyDeleteI think you would love the new WW system. It's really pretty cool and cheap to do online. All vegetables and fruit are 0 points now. Christina, if I don't laugh about this journey, I will sink to a dark place and that's just not me or my personality. There is always a bright side to things!
