up, get rid of the rind, and store it in a couple of containers and poof

I love watermelon Doug!!!!! it's just takes so much damn roof in the
fridge
...........I like my fruit chilled. They've been breeding this really
small watermelon in the USA - they are only slightly larger than a large
cantaloupe or honeydew melon........seedless and yummy! I also love fresh
pineapple, nectarines, plums, cherries, peaches and
strawberries.........in
the winter I get locked into a routine of about 5 apples a
day...........hehehehe........

It's great to hear from you Doug!

Welcome back, Eddie. And congratulations on reaching for fresh fruit for
your stress!

Try a huge slice of watermelon sometime. Low calorie and very satisfying!

Hi All,

Just a quick update until next week........

Back from cruise - it was fun food could have been better
From the moment I left my meeting weeks ago, I was officially on
vacation
which meant "a little indulgence" LOL!
OK, time to come clean - last Friday's WI.........I went up 6.4
lbs......I
was actually quite happy, but should I return my 75 lbs magnet?? NO
WAY!!!!!!........I made a choice and that was to indulge a bit and enjoy
my
vacation!
Got back OP the first day I returned (2 days before WI) and what looked
like
an 8lbs gain only turned out to be 6.4 lbs - so I was pretty OK with
that.

This week has gone much better, but seriously stressed over the fact
that
one of my client's has screwed me for over $7500 - not happy about that
at
all, but life will go on. I've never been much of a stress eater, but I
think I really gave in this week, but reached totally for fresh fruit
and
skim milk instead of junk.......result at today's WI (one day early) was
down 0.8 lbs.

I had to WI in early because I'm heading to Ottawa for the weekend. My
niece and her husband know that I've been doing WW for over a year now
and
they've planned their meals to suit my needs - what a great family I
have
eh
???? )

So I think staying in control this weekend will be fairly
easy.......We're
off early in the morning, so hopefully, I find some time mid-week during
the
week to chime in some posts........

I feel like I've missed so much - I know it sounds weird - but I've
really
missed not reading and interacting with everyone's posts

Eddie,

The rind is what takes up the space, you can take a melon baller, or slice
up the watermelon into chunks and keep it in a Tupperware/Rubbermaid type
of
container, it keeps about a week that way and takes up a lot less room in
the fridge.

Yes , it does, as I don't care for watermelon but my daughter does, this is
what she did when she was away at college in her tiny apartment that she
rented on campus.

She also said that the cantaloupe gets sweeter after a few days too when
done this way.

Maybe ours are fresher here, since they are grown in the area. I know where
I live they grow all kinds of melons,I used to do books for a
watermelon/pumpkin grower. There are also apples, grapes, asparagus,
potatoes, strawberries, I think if it grows here someone has a crop of it.
Lettuce is grown only a couple of hours away from here. So everything is
really fresh and not transported very far.

I got a Dulcinea watermelon yesterday and cut it up for a dinner party I was
having last night, I was amazed that not too many people ate it, and still
have over 3/4 of it left over. I figured it would have gone quick with our
100+ degree heat wave we are having.
