I Think I’m Doing It Wrong
embarrassing, food October 26th, 2008
I’m pretty sure when you do the Weight Watchers thing you’re not supposed to eat this many in a day and a half, even if they are only 2 points each.

Thanks. . . for my first belly laugh of the day. These days Investment Bankers don’t even ‘do the math’ why should we dieters? It’s not about the points. . . it’s about not wanting to be cut-down in the sub-prime of our lives. . . thanks again. I loved the laugh and all thge comments

Look on the bright side – if you hadn’t eaten all those, you may have been tempted by a large cake or bucket of KFC. I’d suggest eating some more to keep away those dangerous hunger pangs.

Okay Kathy, I’ll give you some encouragement. Last Thanksgiving, I was pushing 350lbs. (That’s being nice)
At the gym on Sunday I weighed 228 1/2.
I can eat pretty much whatever I want, just not very much of it. My stomach was reduced to the size of an egg, from that of a football. I have to eat 5 or 6 times a day.
It may only be a cup of yogurt with Kelloggs’s bar crunched up inside, and I eat a lot of soup, (Which I love!) but I’m used to it now. Had a checkup October 7th, 9 months after bypass, I’ve lost over 130 pounds, and I visit the gym3 to 4 times a week. My weight has actually plateaued, but they would like me to lose another 30pounds over the next 6 months. You get used to the lifestyle.
Oh, did I mention they constrict your esophagus to about the diameter of a dime? You have to thoroughly chew your food, or bad thing happen.
Having said all that, it saved my life.
Now have a weight watchers ice cream (or two, or three, or four!) for me! LOL!

Weight watchers is all about portion control…..but their portions are so small…..well……you already know the rest.

Ooooh, which ones are those? I eat the Weight Watchers Giant Fudge Bars (identical packaging and sticks), which are only one point each and extremely good! If you switch to those, you can eat the same quantity for half the points!

mommyto2 — My record is 4 in one day. I’m not proud of it. Just sayin’
Bella Casa — You’re so much better off!
Bucky — I hope to no longer have a collection. Seriously, I’ve got to stop.
Lee — Thanks so much. I really need someone to watch over me.
1stopmom — Yeah, but 2 points times 5 is a problem. I swear, I’m on my last box. I’m allowing myself one per day this week. Can’t quit cold turkey!
Data Entry Services — I’m part German. That’s good, yes?
Jenn — I noticed that myself. And also when junkfoodaholic comments. I think she stole my name.
Kimmy — Ah, you’ve been there!
Emma in China — And therein lies the problem. I need to find some balance. Pray for me.
robert bourne — When I eat them I think “It’s only two points. It’s almost one point. Hell, it’s like no points!”
Koe Whitton-Williams — Well, I have to admit the WW point system is easier for me than counting calories. It’s less work. If only I could stick with it. Glad my problem gave you a chuckle. You probably burned 10 calories!
Tiggy — You’re right. It did keep us from ordering a pizza and having it delivered. We are always so close to blowing the whole thing.
Chris (Casey) — I can understand why you went with the bypass. At some point, you realize you’ve tried everything else. I’m rooting for you. It must be very difficult to get used to a smaller stomach and not being able to eat a hearty portion of something. Go Chris!
Bruce — Whether I’m doing WW or not, it is always about portion control. But I have to say I haven’t been stuffed in three weeks. You know, that disgusting feeling after eating like there’s no tomorrow? It feels good to feel hunger again. For a long while, I ate so much, I didn’t know what a hunger pang was.
Karen C. — These are the ice cream bars with chocolate crumbly things on top. My husband bought the fudge bars, so if anything, I’ll switch to those. I still think I have to give them up entirely. I can’t be trusted.

I think you might be right about that one.

Talk about a popular subject! I’ve lost 56# since April on WW. The problem with these one pointers is that if you eat two in a sitting they are equal to 3 points. Add up all the calories, fiber, and fat of two bars and run it through a calculator. Same thing for those chocolate cakes!
I don’t ever think I will be able to train myself to binge eat on celery and carrots.

OMG, Kathy…that’s is so FUNNY!
So what was that??….10 points?
Hey, I’ve never been on Weight Watchers Plan (only because I have to work at keeping weight ON), but I actually EAT all their desserts that they carry in the grocery store, because to me, they’re the BEST tasting stuff!
I’m a freak about sweets!

Kathy, I have a theory
“I love eating something that’s considered “0,” like some Progresso soups..”
I bet that those soups are not really 0 points. Just like the Goodhousekeeping Seal of Approval can be bought, I bet it is really some promotional deal. They fudged points for money.

If you eat them all at one sitting and they are the same flavor, it only counts as two points still!

Moderation is key…right? That’s what they say…right?
Ah hell. I say if you want to eat your day’s worth of points in WW Fudgcicles…DO IT! 🙂

YummY! — And I’ve been punishing myself ever since. Only had one last night. Yea for me!
Jaffer — And so Ronald the Mime was born and died in The Junk Drawer. Rest in peace, little man. We hardly knew ye.
Merrill Guice — Wow! 56 pounds?! I’m so impressed. Way to go. Yeah, I’d rather starve than eat carrots and celery. Unlike my husband. Keep up the good work!
Ron — Yes, don’t remind me. It was 10 points. The WW yummies are really good-tasting. Unlike most “diet” food. Something about the chocolate. So rich and creamy! I wish they weren’t so good, because then I wouldn’t be tempted. I’m weaning myself off them. I have only 5 left and I have to make them last the week.
TheSnackHound — I don’t doubt that. But they are only 150 calories, which doesn’t even count as a whole meal. And it makes me feel full. So whatever it is, it’s working. Magic soup!
Carla — I should have saved all the popsicle sticks and put them in a jar. Then I’d really see how many I’ve eaten since I discovered them. I don’t want to admit how many came before these.
Kirsten — I love everyone’s logic here!
Grandy — Don’t think I haven’t been tempted. I think I could eat 10 in a row without getting sick of them.
Natural — Um. I’ve kinda done that before. My reasoning is if I’m going to overdo dessert anyway, why make it worse with a protein and veggie?
October 28th, 2008 at 5:41 am
Does it taste good??? They must because you ate all of them! =D

Topaz Horizon — Does it taste good? You betcha (my little Sarah Palin-ism for the day). I had only one after dinner last night, and one tonight. Trying desperately to keep it to just one.
October 28th, 2008 at 6:29 pm
Umm just maybe but were they good because if they were good then it was right and no one can tell you wrong.
October 30th, 2008 at 12:32 am
I don’t see what you’re doing wrong. I’d eat way more than that if I ever had to diet 😉

brooke — I like how you think!
Dwayne from Probably Sucks Blog — Trust me. It’s easy to do. I’m down to the last of them. Let’s see if I can avoid buying more. I’ll have to skip the entire ice cream aisle. It’s off-limits for a while.

seems alright to me. 😀
