Last week I faced a crisis. It had been two weeks since I last attended a Weight Watcher meeting, and in that 14 days I had managed to make poor food choices, stress out over work situations, be physically exhausted and also gain 6 pounds.

The prospect of going back to a meeting and admitting defeat was enough to send me back to the arms of my faithful friends (little Debbie, Sara Lee, and of course Ben and Jerry!) Looking for comfort in food goes back a long way with me.

I come from a southern family. If you are from the south, you know that the Pillsbury people were right in” that nothing says lovin, like something from the oven! ” Have another biscuit is the southern equivalent to saying, “I love you!” Have some pecan pie is southern for “You are so precious and sweet .”

I may post every few days on here this week, just because I’m starting that 6-day plan that Leanne posted awhile back and I’m thinking I might need the support! Plus, I know some are looking at doing this too, so I can tell y’all how it is going.

Day 1 Observations: I have never eaten this many egg beaters in my life. My normal 1/4 cup is upped to 3/4 cup along with a 1/2 grapefruit. I had to not eat the grapefruit immediately after because I felt sick after the egg beaters. I’m not a huge fan of them anyway, and I usually really spice them up with veggies or salsa, but I’m trying to follow the plan to a “T.” 

The results are in! Both MommaK and I are Body Type B. We used the 6 Day Mini Makeover menu that I posted in the recipe section. We both have a daily exercise regimen - MommaK is a jazzercize girl and I do strength training and aerobic (treadmill).

We chatted a bit yesterday about the ups and downs of the program. It really boils down to this:

Good stuff: Results, of course! Eating 5-6 times a day, each portion is just enough to get you to the next meal, the lack of refined sugars revamps the taste buds. The jeans we didn’t fit into last week fit this week!
