TODAY WE CHEAT!(Laura)
I guess my post might have been taken a bit out of context. I intended
it to be like in the movies. Sorry if it's not politically correct to assume no one wants to even "dream" of being able to eat selfishly and not have to worry about weight which is what the movie scene was about. I understand for lots of people it is a real battle to be disciplined even on the WW diet. As I have said in my introduction, I'm not on the WW diet but am doing it the old fashioned way of cutting down 99% on fried foods and sweets like ice cream. This is something I have passed the feeling of depriving myself since I believe you CAN reprogram your mind to be able to leave them and honestly feel like you're not missing out on something good. I guess I look at it also like an alcoholic has to leave drinking and his/her body will adjust and not feel like they been missing out on something necessary since they've already experience they taste and fill of it. I've had ALL the good foods and do NOT miss them , but this is ME. I can do without them and be OK. I have lost 42 pounds. Gone from a size 44 inch waist to a 36 inch waist and gained muscle where I never even thought I had them so I think I'm doing it right. |

Or, do the filling the same way, nuke it til cooked, and fold into a one point tortilla. Sprinkle with sugar after giving it a squirt of ICBINB and stick it in the toaster oven to crisp the tortilla.

Ah Bobby, it's not that it is not politically incorrect to dream about foods
we can't have, but on WW, we Can have em, if we choose to, so it tends to be puzzling. I lost all 85 that I got rid of since Feb 2002, and the other 118 on WW, for a total WW loss of 203 pounds. The 118 was on the old program that restricted the types of food you ate. I really love the new program, and probably would never have gotten to the normal BMI that I am at right now without being able to have all those good foods when I want em, portion controlled.

I agree about the new WW - I love it. As I've mentioned before, I was on WW
back in the early 70's. You couldn't eat onions or corn past the noon meal. One of the ladies in our group made home made bread. The leader told her she absolutely 'could not' eat that home made bread. She had to buy the diet bread. I know there were other things just as ridiculous, I just don't remember all of them now. Oh yeah, I could eat 4 hot dogs for supper! Not the buns, just the dogs! Wouldn't think of doing that now. One thing I really did like on the old WW was the WW shakes - we call them smoothies now. That was my favorite part of the day - evening when I could have that shake! -- Donna in Idaho!
