This collection is my sharing what works for me.
I am back on Weight Watchers after an 18-month/25 pound hiatus.
Everything before 2011 is on the old point-system. If you rerun the numbers and want to share the new stats, please do!
And I’m the sort that won’t cook different for my family than for me.
This doesn’t mean everything is wonderful, or low-points. It means I’ve found a balance that works for my gluten-/soy-free self that I want to offer as one way to make this program work for others on a limited diet.
The last year has been one of surviving meal time because of the generous hearts of interneters. I learned a major factor in my increasing migraines was the “invisible” soy in virtually all prepared foods (including all formed chocolate!) and my children’s tummy troubles were linked to a gluten sensitivity.
Overnight I switched to making everything from scratch, and nearly drowned in the effort. But I did learn to swim, and now I have a great deal of confidence and experience with modifying recipes and thinking for myself in nutrition, integrating multiple sources of information into an amalgam that I apply with impunity.
