Candice Johnson Member Registered: 10/09/02 Posts: 416 Loc: Alexandria, VA	I used to do the weight watchers points thing, but am finding that I can't stay within my points range any more because I am awake longer (freelancing and the nine to five) It's hard to stay within the points if you stay up until 1 a.m. and you finish your points at like 7 p.m. Any ideas on low-fat alternatives? While I am not picky, no veggie choices please because I hate raw vegetables.

Here is a story that my sister-in-law told us: She knew a child that choked on popcorn at the movies, didn't have a drink, and no one knew how to do the Heimlich (I know I butchered that word, sorry) maneuver back then...and the child died! It's a true story! Make sure you have a drink when you pig out on popcorn! Also, try a baggy of flavored rice cakes. There are some great ones out now. I love the barbeque flavored ones!

Candice Johnson Member Registered: 10/09/02 Posts: 416 Loc: Alexandria, VA	Thanks all for the suggesstions. I am trying my best. The whipping cream stuff doesn't sound gross at all. I dip all kinds of things in the fat free cool whip. A good trick is to put cool whip between some low fat or fat free graham crakers and put one little piece of some kind of low-fat chocoalate in there. Freeze it and you have a little frozen s'more.

Sandy Member Registered: 03/25/03 Posts: 56 Loc: Colorado	How about a baked potato with salsa instead of butter? I also pour fat free or 1% milk on a baked potato to make it moist. It tastes good that way. I mean, come on, nothing it going to taste like a large pat of butter. and then there are pretzels. they are fat free too. and you can just munch along. I wish you good luck.

He said it was fine. Better start pumping calcium in their bods. Hmmm, with three kids we have had 4 broken arms and many sprains! Maybe that is why!
