Starting Over
I lucked out at Sam's. Two of the women that give out the samples are women
who are partners with two managers in my program, when we walk up if it isn't worth the points, both have been on ww in the past, they say save your points, and I move on, Lee Joyce wrote in message ... I have a tough time resisting their samples, but now I'm at least limiting it to things that I'm REALLY interested in, instead of grabbing just because it's there. If hub is with me, I often am able to talk him into splitting one sample with me. I figure it helps a bit. g Probably a good thing for me that I keep all my purchases in the trunk of the car - makes it much harder to get to when those munchie attacks hit.

My leader likes to tell the story of her putting an apple fritter in the
trunk of her car when she was about 15 miles north in the next town. She said she put it in the trunk so she would not nibble on it while driving back to our town. Funny thing was, it must have been calling her from the trunk, because she kept pulling over to the side of the road to get a bite. I guess after being followed by a police officer who was observing this behavior pulled her over. He thought she might have had something illegal in the trunk. So he pulled her over and asked her why she kept stopping and checking her trunk. She told him it was the apple fritter she was trying to avoid eating, but the urge got the best of her so she would pull over and take a bite and then get back in and drive some more towards home.

She is a real nut. I love her though. She is such a sweet lady and would
give the world to everyone so that they are successful on their journey to being healthy. She has been an employee of for over 35 years now and has maintained keeping that weight off. She is one that will admit that she has sugar addictions and she knows what she can and cant handle. She tells the story of how she would offer to go get doughnuts for her husband on a Saturday morning nearly every week. He would ask for 2 plain cake donuts. The bakery did a special of a bakers dozen (13) for a special price. She would get the 13 donuts and then proceed to park behind the bakery and eat all 11 donuts with a quart of milk. Then dispose of the evidence before she got home and then her husband would ask why she did not get anything for herself. She would tell him that she did not want any. She was very much a closet eater. She can tell these stories over and over and you never tire of them. Debbie "Fred" wrote in message ... Hmmmmmmmmm.......... Now, I don't think I am that crazy!

And I have this bottomless supply of something I just purchased that interested me. And I do a good job of generally skipping their samples, particularly, the less NICE ones. Last time it was the Caramel Apple Pie. I really did skip it and they were giving out a very sizeable chunk (G) On Tue, 10 Aug 2004 01:05:44 -0500, Joyce wrote: On Thu, 29 Jul 2004 06:47:09 -0700, Fred wrote: Maybe it's one of those breakfast item things ... I don't enjoy breakfast. The only cereal I really do like is Raisin Bran and have learned to enjoy oatmeal. But I did find something the other day that I enjoyed immensely ... cookie crackers (as I'm calling them). Two varieties, Oreo's and Chips Ahoy I believe, manufactured in thin crisps like crackers but taste very similar to the cookies. The ones we found were packaged in 100 calorie bags, 6 bags to a box. I love presorted portion control! G And yesterday it was the new Quaker Oatmeal squares with brown sugar. A costco purchase. On the way home before lunch..... I'm thinking here ........ maybe you need to eliminate Costco from your shopping list. Too large of quantities which keep calling out your name. g Joyce |
