Fat Free Ranch is the most disgusting food ever invented…
So my dear friends, it’s a month into the new year, do you know where your New Year’s Resolutions are? What did you promise you would do this year? Go back to school, pay off your credit card debt, or perhaps you wanted to take up skydiving? How are you doing on those goals? Are you sticking to it and working on them? Or have you packed up those ideas for next year already?
Like millions of Americans, I decided that my list would include losing weight. However, I did not start right away with the beginning of January. Sorry, but January 2nd is a little too close to the holidays to qualify as a good chance for me. At that point I am still having visions of sugarplums in my head and might still be a little drunk. So I waited for a while, mid January. I actually did really well for about a week and then completely fell of the wagon. This week I decided to try again. I have to admit that I am doing great so far this week, and I can see myself sticking to it more than last month.
The tricky part is that I am on a tigher budget than usual due to closing on my first condo. (Yay me!) This makes if a lot more difficult to start up a BIG BOLD PLAN. No extra money to buy fancy suppliments or diet food, no new gym memberships, tennis shoes or work out music from iTunes. I have to work with what I have. Add to that starting birth control, and the stress of buying a place and moving and I can tell you this is not goint to be easy.
Contrary to popular belief, I am starting to think that it might be a much better idea to start when you have a couple things going on. If we put off starting things until everything is perfect, we would all ending up Waiting for Godot. Nothing would ever get accomplished!
What have I discovered about myself so far this week?? I prefer Weight Watchers Smart Ones over Lean Cuisine, Quaker’s Weight Control Oatmeal does control my hunger, sugar free gum does not curb my cravings for sweets, and just like the title to this little entry…
FAT FREE RANCH IS THE MOST DISGUSTING FOOD EVER INVENTED!!!
Okay, you’re right. Do not buy the bottled fat free ranch. What you do is get the ranch packets that you can mix with sour cream to make ranch dip, you know the ones. Use those plus fat free mayo plus fat free milk to make the dressing recipe (it’s on the back of the packet). It’s worth eating! Really!
