Food Shopping for Weight Watchers (WW)

Ok Sunday, I joined WW.  I cannot share what I weigh yet in my journal.  Thats between me and my highter power. LOL.   Yesterday I did my WW food shopping, armed with my list and lots of time to read the packages.  I must admit it was fun. I mostly bought all fat-free products.  I have never done this before.  I even bought fat free sour cream.  Yogurt, 50 calorie fudgecicles, fat-free cheese, can you imagine.  Where have I been.  I really like the sprays for the frying pan, bought three new  teflon coated frying pans   Goodbye butter. My new DS friend Betty told me a wonderful story about how she did not become discouraged,  when losing 5 lbs.  She said she thought of every five pounds as five pounds of potatoes.  I think that is great!  She is a svelte size 8 and a lifetime WW member.  One gorgeous gal too. With my cart loaded up. I walked to the vegetable market for all fresh vegetables.  Did anyone know that carrotts have greens coming out from the tops, WOW.  When did that happen?  Beautiful. I huffed and puffed stopping every half-block walking home dragging my cart.  I can't blame my lack of breath on my previous cigarette smoking only anymore. I am thrilled I stopped smoking.  I am smoke-free and 55 lbs heavier but as of Sunday I am a "Weight Watcher."    I am ready to give away my potatoes one pound at a time. Heee heee he. Luv, Ree

Hey Ree, I am proud of you. I always think about a five pound bag of sugar. Pick it up...it is heavy!! Wonderful, when gone. Popcorn is a wonderful snack!! Very filling along with a large glass of water..

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO proud of you. I haven\'t got there yet and I\'m very depressed and feel down on myself that I can\'t seem to motivate myself to go to WW. Been trying overeaters anonymous BUT not their food plan (Members food plan no white stuff, 3 meals nothing in between!!!!!) Hoping my retreat will help this weekend......Anyway good luck and GOD Bless...........Love, Sandy
