Cupcakes? - Not helping WW!

What were WW thinking? Every day they have an article on the online tracker, some of which I read most I don't. This weekend they had an article about a cupcake bakery, the illustration was sooo tempting I had to read it. Thank goodness said bakery is in London otherwise I would probably have hightailed it down there on Saturday and blown my points sky high.

I am a really suggestible person when it comes to food - an advertiser's dream. If someone mentions a hamburger in conversation I immediately fancy a hamburger. So pictures of gorgeous yummy cupcakes every time in logged in to track my food consumption were not helpful to my self control. I can't be the only weightwatcher like this, after all I suspect most of us got just slightly lardy in the first place through an attraction to high fat and high sugar foods, It's not as though the bakery have nutritional info on their website (yes I googled them and browsed the whole thing), or a low point cupcake to promote to WWers. Nope they just do the yummy full sugar full fat versions without apology. So how does this article help? - WW tell me that! What's next week? 50 foods to deep fry at home? The return of the cheese fondue? A guide to the best chippy's in Britain?

Given the tempation I am pleased to report a 1lb loss. It might have been a fraction more but I forgot to WI before breakfast this morning, with it being a bank holiday my Monday routine is out of the window. I attribute the loss partly to our house being a Easter egg free zone. I did have a Cadbury's Creme Egg earlier in the week but I had saved the points for it so no problem there. Luckily my hubby is trying to be good too so we are consuming vast quantities of sugar free jelly and not buying chocolate.

Pleased to see that the picture for WW's Monday article is a nice green apple accompanying an article about spring challenge. I don't normally bother with that kind of challenge but this week I just might :)

Happy Easter!
