Well...last weekend I did it. I joined Weight Watchers. This first week has gone well. My family are my inspiration and they are really trying to support me in this. I am so thankful for them!

Weight Watchers has a new program, On this program, all fruits and vegetables are zero points, so I relied on those when I felt hungry. Raw green beans became my go-to snack food this past week as they provided the "crunch" I craved. Paired with hummus or a yogurt dip, I didn't feel deprived. I keep telling myself it is a life style change. All in moderation.

For the first few days, I had oatmeal for breakfast because it was quick, filling, and easy to calculate. Then I started to get a little braver...experiment a little, while staying within my points. This breakfast sandwich is tasty, satisfying, and comes together in about five minutes. At only seven points, it is a sandwich that can be enjoyed daily.

It has only five ingredients:

Arnold Sandwich Thins (3 points)
3 Egg Whites (1 point)
1 slice cheese or 3 ounces of Feta Cheese (3 points)
Baby Spinach (0 points)
Tomato slices (0 points)

For the egg whites, I used Egg Beaters brand egg whites...so convenient to measure out. You can use a fat-free or reduced fat cheese to lower the points, if you wish. I used cheddar, but it would be great with some feta too! :)

Let me know if you give this a try. Here's to great week!
