A Wonderful Mess

DSC08912

I made an egg muffin for breakfast and had 2 slices Canadian bacon and 2 slices fat free cheese with my egg all for only 2 points!(I am doing the simply filling technique with Weight Watchers)  It was so much better than had I drove through that drive-thru to get it and so much better for me.DSC08913

Lunch was a leftover mess of brown rice, veggies and chicken with olive oil and some of this Land O Lakes Parmesan & Herb seasoning. DSC08920

Watching the biggest loser I was a little hungry so I cut one of these scrumptious oranges and made a hot toddy(still not feeling back to 100%).

It is a good feeling to have control of food instead of the other way around, it truly does. There is something about not having to count the points for most things I eat that truly sets me free of that all or nothing perfection mentality. I would be greatly discouraged with Weight Watchers if they took this aspect of the program away because I know I will make goal doing what I am doing now. So I guess I then need to mentally commit to continuing with what I am doing no matter what Weight Watchers decides regarding it or not.

Is WW thinking of doing away with Simply Filling? I hadn't heard that.

I love those Land O Lakes seasoning, though. I have sharp cheddar and sour cream and chive.

Arlene,
I have not heard anything regarding simply filling at ww either, you just never know with how they change things up.

I also relly like the new seasonings by Land O Lakes, I have all 7 of the flavors.
