Choices???????????

If, like me, you have been struggling with your weight for years the bad news is you will probably have to struggle for the rest of your life. My problem is not my weight but my LOVE of food. It is a constant battle against the bulge but take heart, life is full of choices and it’s the choices we make regarding our food that help us have some control over weight (if you pardon the pun).

*********

Lets just say you are sitting down watching the T.V. and you feel a bit peckish. You decide to have a "Raid the Press Moment". All us Fatty Piggies can identify with that. OK your willpower is shot and you decide what the heck go for it….. You don't want to make a pig of yourself so you decide on a light snack. You have two choices "To Be" or "Not to Be" a little piggy THAT IS THE QUESTION.

A Little Light Snack……… Or So You Would Think.

Two Cream Crackers with Butter and Cheddar Cheese
Followed by 2 Chocolate Biscuits
A Cup of Coffee and 2 Sugar

Total POINTS/Units: 12 Approx. - Not Exactly Stuffed Are You????????

The Low Fat - Low Cal Choice

A Packet of Melba Toast (6 pieces)
Two Portions of Laughing Cow Light (eliminates the need for butter)
A Packet of Pink and White Jammies (much nicer than the plain ones)
A Cup of Coffee and Artificial Sweetener

Total POINTS/Units: 4 Approx. - Not Bad Eh????

Its Your Choice!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't tell me "You Can't Have It"... I will want it even more. But with a little imagination we can have that snack or that treat without paying too high a price. Scour the supermarket shelves for those low fat or fat free items. Read the labels. Sometimes things that are not marketed as low fat, actually are. A recent product I found was a well known iced coffee flavour biscuit at just half a POINT/unit per biscuit, it can't be beaten with a cuppa.

So Remember Little Piggies 'Think Before You Oink'.
