The Sneaky Culprit
Ok so the last 6 months I’ve put on like 7 pounds, which I am not happy about. I’ve been avoiding the issue for a while thinking that in the New Year I will get back down to business and take if off. So, last week I got back to counting WW points. I am not a freak about it, but I do like to know the point value of everything I consume and try to stay between 20-25 points a day. So, I had to do some research of my newest addiction- the Starbucks Reduced Fat turkey bacon breakfast sandwich. I have been eating these almost daily for about 4 months- not ever bothering to check the nutritional information, which is so unlike me, but due to my crazy busy life, I just didn’t take the time to do so. I didn’t think they could be that bad; I mean they are composed of a whole wheat English muffin, cholesterol free egg, turkey bacon and reduced fat white cheddar. I’m thinking around 300 calories and 6 grams of fat.
So, last week I went to www.starbucks.com and found out the facts:
Calories- 350
Fat- 11 grams
Fiber- 3 grams
WW points= 7.3
I was appalled when I got this data. I cannot believe that I let myself live in ignorance for so long… and I know its going to take hella effort to take it off, as I am not one of those lucky people that loose weight easily. Fat is in my DNA, and I have to fight it with a vengeance!
I’ m pretty depressed about my 7 pounds of Starbucks that I have to work off. But… on the bright side, this is going to save me hella money, and those suckers can get expensive when consumed daily.

I am on the same quest as you. I started my herbal de-tox cleanse to hold me until Jan 20th, then it's WW (I think). xoxo pp

hahahaha. Good luck with the WW. It is not that bad.
Hey Eve--I have put on 7 pounds in the last year. :( And like you, I know what I should and shouldn't be eating. Bleh.
Hey--I really want to start mountain biking, so would you ever want to go? (Of course, I'll have to go a bunch without you first so that I don't look like the biggest wimp.)
