I am a FAT COW

Weekends are when I turn in to a "Happy Go Lucky eat any piece of fattening food you want, drink drink drink and be Merry..." Oh how I love the weekends..but they are seriously screwing me up for loosing the ten pounds I want before my wedding................Annoying!

Happy Monday FCC!

How are we all doing this fine morning?

I just posted up this weekend-defense strategy on the WW thread but it is so brilliant (if I do say so myself!)

Being S.T.U.P.I.D. to Get Through the Weekend as a Thinner Fat Cow!

Save - Save up all your "extra calories" or WW extra flex points for the weekend. That means eat really well all week long so you can splurge a little on the weekends!

Track - Write down (or type) or enter into Spark, WW or Self every thing you eat. Being honest with yourself about what you're eating makes a huge difference!

Use - Use those extra calories/points you've been saving. In my opinion if you are always "good" you will eventually crack, feel deprived and go back to old habits.

Plan - Pick a meal, evening out , etc. where you are going to use those extra points calories and plan what you're going to have ahead of time. Be excited for what you're going to eat/drink and enjoy them without guilt!

In Control - So speaking of using these extra points /calories don't go crazy with it! Meaning don't eat so much you feel sick - do it in way where you can feel good about it and enjoy it guiltfree!

Defense - Besides tracking this is the best tool we have! That means if you go to a party off to bring something and make sure it low in calories/points so you can eat it without feeling guilty (I recommend my beloved "Taco Soup"). It also means for right now avoid places where you know you tend to lose control. For me that means no Mexican restaurants - I just can't resist the chips and salsa!

So that's been working for me over the past few weekend and I hope it can help someone else too

Thanks for posting this!

can I join too please?

i have been eating a lot of tomato soup, everyday for lunch! it's very low in calorie and tasty too!

Fat Cow Tip of the Day

If your pants are feeling tight.. use a rubber band to create a new button hole.. double it up and put through original button hole, thread it into other side of rubber band and loop around button... no more tight pants.

If your butt's too big to fit, I don't have a solution.
