Have you ever tried Nutrisystem? I’ve often wondered about trying it, because, it just sounds so handy. It seems like it would be so easy to just have all your meals completely ready-made for you. So many times, when trying to lose weight – that is half the trouble right there! Trying to figure out what to eat and prepare what to eat. And sometimes it’s most of the trouble! I’ve gone off my diet many times when we’ve run out of my ‘special-Mama’s-eating-healthy’ food! We may not be going to the grocery store for several days – or longer – and I just give in and eat the crap we have on hand. And when you’re eating ‘junk’ it’s hard to eat “normal” portions of it. You do know what I mean, don’t you? Let me see you ‘being healthy’ and eat some Cheetos! Come on – that’s next to impossible. You grab huge handfuls and you know it – just like I do!

If I did do Nutrisystem, though, I could put in my order for the program of food that I chose …and it would just show up at my door! Just like that! And they have several different plans from which to choose, one of them being vegetarian! That’s definitely cool!

Ok, I’m reading about the vegetarian plan and they give a sample day of food:

• Breakfast ==> Pancake Mix (Yum – I love pancakes – score!)
• Lunch ==> Cheesy Homestyle Potatoes with Broccoli (Omigosh – delish – score!)
• Dinner ==> Vegetarian Chili (I’ve been thinking of making some, actually – score!)
• Dessert ==> Fudge Brownie (Say no more – score!)
• Snack ==> Low fat String Cheese and a Pear (Love both of those – score!)

Gosh, I think I might just about be sold!

I had some friends years ago that were on it and they swore by it! They just loved it! Of course, that was back in my younger days and I had no expendable income to spare, so I couldn’t even consider it. Now – it is definitely sounding good!

Another thing that it would make so much easier is the fact that I am generally eating something entirely different from the family, since I’m the only vegetarian. This way I could cook their meal – and mine would be right there, already made, ready to heat up. Easy peasy.
