Okay, first thing I will confess is that way back when I was in college… I loved the food in the cafeteria! There was hardly anything I didn’t like… especially the self serve soft ice cream! The food was all 5 star to me! Bring on the chipped beef!
Now, why am I telling you this?
Well, to put in a proper persepctive what I am about to tell you….
I love the Jenny Craig food… what amazes me most is that the food actually ‘tastes’ wonderful and delicious! Most diet foods taste horrible… I remember trying some store bought stuff once and thought, ” do I want the chocolate flavored styrofoam or the beef flavored styrofoam?”
With Jenny, the portions are small.. but it is all good stuff. The chocolate brownie is as good as any I have ever made… and the ‘pocket sandwiches’ are meaty and juicy.
I do feel like a ‘hobbit’ from ‘Lord of the Rings’… you might remember he had… breakfast, elevensies, lunch, threesies, linner…. you get the idea. I think that eating often is the secret to it all… and frankly, I can live with that.
There is a downside, the women in my family do not look at me with much love and affection when I get as a ‘nine-sie’ snack what they have for dinner… well… it sucks to be them. One of the few advantages of being really big… you start off with more food.
Hey, not bad for four days on a diet… I’ll check in next Friday and I’ll let you know how it goes… time for ‘elevensies’… it’s a strawberry yogurt! yum!
