Week 3: 100 calorie snacks





Hi Losers, Fatniss here.  I want to warn you about what evils lurk in the nurses' stations and doctor's rooms... especially on the weekends...



Not me, you sillies, it's the doughnuts!  I love those stupid things.  Let's "pop the top" and take a closer look at their evil badness...



A cake-type doughnut, plain or glazed, 3" in diameter, has about 195 calories and 10 grams of fat.
A glazed yeast doughnut, medium, 3.25" in diameter, has about 242 calories and 14 grams of fat.
A jelly-filled yeast doughnut, 3.5 x 2.5", has about 289 calories and 16 grams of fat.

As you and I well know, they have almost no nutritional value, and serve only to spike your blood sugar and replace that hangry feeling with a happy feeling.  Our shifts cause us to go 6-7 hours between meals, and we run our butts off and work up a ravenous appetite.  No wonder we struggle in the face of temptation.

Instead, let's keep our drinks in the hydration stations and avoid going into whatever room the doughnuts (or the bagels, or the Maylock Masterpieces) are lurking.   Lets pack our snacks the day before our shifts so we have another choice.  And lets tell ourselves that it's the only choice in the building, and plug our ears when our coworkers talk about those amazzzing Amish doughnuts. ;)

Here are some 100 calorie snack ideas:


Okay, now to the good part...  lets see who is



As a group, we have lost a total of 68.8 lbs!!!    (Maybe more, as there are 4 weights I don't have.)

I have more great news!  Next week I will be in Vermont trying to learn how to paint from a modern day master named Michelle Dunaway.  What this means for you is, you won't be sending me your weights next week.  No offense but... I frankly won't care if you laid off the doughnuts or not, because I will be in a dimension far, far away, floating in a euphoric abyss of enlightenment.  We will pick it up again the following week.

I want to leave you with this Wendy's commercial.  Most of you have probably seen it.  It still makes me laugh though, and I can totally relate.  In fact, this will be me tomorrow morning.

Hope to be seeing less of you,
