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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Nah, just that I go just a bit too early for lunch hour but am heading
home around then. 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)

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
