It just seems to be one of those slightly bummer facts of life. Anyway, I'm back on track.
A 4 point turkey & avocado sandwich with carrots...
...and a 2.5 point egg white scramble with roasted veggies and feta and a side of grilled tomatoes.
I've also decided to be even more discriminating about my baked sweets. Thus, the homemade cupcakes made by a coworker got a polite "pass."
It's much harder to pass on the following:
D's Chocolate Bread Pudding
Erin's Peanut Butter Cookies with Mini Peanut Butter Cups
Dana L's Chocolate Peanut Butter Krispys
and Jill's Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake.
Agh! You're all such talented bakers! Tie me to the mast, plug your own ears and no matter what I say, don't let me loose!

And french fries craves more french fries... I had them 5 out of the past 7 days!
But still hoping to lose this week. It's still possible - I think. :-)
But I can tell this is a slippery slope. I'm likening this to money and lifestyle creep. It's easy to spend more once you have it, and A LOT harder to cut back when you have it.
Use your points... and money wisely, friends! ;-)
Despite WW's philosophy of "You can eat whatever you want" thoughtful eating dogma, they also caution you to identify what the red light foods are for you. And the yellow light ones, too, for that matter. I don't mean the high point foods, but rather the kind of foods that open a door to a whole cascading effect of not so great choices.
Pringles, for example, is a self-identified red light food (Can't have just one!) Hmm... now that I think about it, I bet they don't use that slogan much anymore!
There's some wisdom to this, I suppose. But on the other hand, I'm reluctant to put any food on a forbidden food list. It's like a red flag to my Taurus... and yet...
Hmm. What are my red light foods? I don't think it's anything typical (or even my favorites), but rather foods that are kind of symbolic to me. Foods that I really only eat when things are going really badly--donuts, fast food, raw cookie dough.
The day that I can greenlight these foods, you know, have a nibble and not spend the rest of the week wondering what the heck happened! will be a very good day. (o:
