Since I have gotten back on the fat wagon I cannot take part in the newsroom buffet. No birthday cake. No celebratory donuts. No chocolate bars Tamara brought in because her mother-in-law works for Hershey (I love that woman. Never met her, but I love her.). I mean, technically I could partake, because of the points plan -- but then I wouldn't be able to eat anything else for like three days. So, I have been sitting on the sidelines watching other people, skinny people, stuff their gobs with utter abandon while I chew on an All Bran bar and try to control my murderous impulses. But, not any more. I have discovered a secret pleasure that only millions of other people know about. Hostess 100 calorie packs.
Manna from HostessOrdinarily anything Hostess is a WW no go. Really, the point counter just laughs if you try to enter the word Twinkies. But these beat the system. Three little cakes, 100 calories. One point. And they have more fiber than the All Bran bars -- which I'm pretty sure are made of rope . And they taste good. Like the icing top of the normal cupcakes. I never realized what was missing in my life until I found these little pieces of happiness.
The first time I ate a pack I consumed them very slowly -- hoping to make it last. But now I just stack all three on top of each other for a truly gluttonous feeling. And then I smile at my newsroom collegues with cholocate smeared teeth.
Now, if only someone would make a 100 calorie bowl of carbonara...

I am pretty sure that if you put my office up against the newsroom, we would win the food-a-thon. I am sure that the phrase, "Who ate the two-week old pizza" has been asked here more than once & with utter seriousness.
I have decided to have an entire diet consisting of 100 calorie packs. Just think of all 16 of the tasty packs I could eat each day... mmmmmmmm...
NO, the faculty room--where mice have been SEEN scampering around the inside of the popcorn machine and yet every Tuesday and Thursday teachers are observed shuffling from the room carrying huge bags of tasty yellow flavored popcorn. Now that's a big yummmmmmm
Just eat all your food standing up, Lib. It doesn't count if you're standing up. Or at a party. And I think the counter runs backwards if you eat standing up AT a party.
