Okay - so I dragged myself on board the weight watchers wagon - I would never have made it if I'd tried to jump on board - not to mention the damage to the wagon! So now I'm counting points. Usually, I like the point system and it goes well for me. Apparently it is not so friendly on birthdays. Paul made scotcheroos for me today instead of a birthday cake because I love them. I mean seriously love them - like when you first met your honey and just looking at him made you happy. Seeing the little scotcheroos in the pan in all their chocolatey, peanut buttery, butterscotchery goodness makes me feel the same way. I'm getting a little lightheaded just thinking about them... I know, I have serious issues.
Anyhoo - I calculated the points in them:
butterscotch chips - 44 points
chocolate chips - 46 points
corn syrup - 16 points
peanut butter - 32 points
cereal - 10 points
A grand total of 148 points for the pan of them - and I thought it was a pretty stinking small pan - okay, it was 9x12 but still... So I probably had 2 days of points in just my dessert tonight. And tomorrow is weigh-in day. Sad. Why, why did my birthday have to come the day before weigh-in??? Sigh...
Oh well, tomorrow is another day =) Golly, I must still be on a scotcheroo high - I got over that pretty quickly.

That's too funny. Must remember that b-days, and other holidays are always be point free days. You can eat what you like and nothing has points (giggle). Good luck with weigh-in.
Try a little exercise today. You know like lifting your hand to your mouth, and getting a fork out of the drawer.Maybe you will break even. Or you could exercise like I do...go to Wal-Mart and run your card through that little machine.I have to actually RAISE my arm to do that. Can you imagine the work out I get? Phew, makes me tired to think about ! THEN I have to put all that stuff in the car and drive home.(Getting exhusted just thinking about it!)And then I have to put it all away. Too much for me..I guess I will stay fat.
Scotcheroos have NO POINTS if they are in celebration of something! They only have points if you eat them for no reason at all (we can always find something to celebrate).
Good luck with weigh in!!!
Try the peanut butter bliss that WW sells - yummy!
I've never heard of a scotcheroo. I know, I'm sad.
