Portion Size Struggles
Today is the full first day back on Weight Watchers. I haven’t officially followed their eating plan since mid 2008. Since that time I’ve been staying as close as I could to their plan. Well as close as I thought I could. Every morning I have 1 cup of Honey Nut Cheerios and a half of a cup of light vanilla Silk Soy Milk. I keep the measuring cup in the cereal box just so I don’t over pour. (I’m notorious of having a mixing bowl full of cereal if I don’t watch it!) So this morning I pop into the WW website and enter my cereal intake. Low and behold! 1 cup of Honey Nut Cherrios is actuall 2.5 points. For a year and some change I’ve been counting that as 2 points.
It’s only a half of a point! Right? Well thinking about it, I wonder what else I eat that I missed the half point extra when counting. The point counting sounds super annoying written out here…. However it fits in really well with my extremely anal retentive nature and my desire to do things in the “right way” and “follow the rules”.
P.S. Instant coffee is disgusting and I really need to go to the grocery (at least for real coffee!)
