St. Valentine's Day Menu

Last night I went to an OA meeting, and it was really good for me. We did a Step Two study, and I benefitted from the readings as well as the comments. I looked at their food plans, and they are almost identical to what I've been using in Weigh****chers, so no changes there will be necessary. What needs to change is me dealing with the issues behind my bingeing and overeating. I can do that through Steps Four and Five. I'll try to get a sponsor by next week. Breakfast 1 cup Total Raisin Bran 1 cup skim milk 1/4 cup cheesy egg substitute (with fat free cheese) 1 large banana Coffee 2 cups water AM Snack 1 Slimfast Muffin Bar 2 cups water Lunch Chicken salad with veggies, fat free shredded cheese, & fat free drsg. 2 sugar free Jello cups 1 apple 8 oz. low fat yogurt with peaches 4 graham crackers 2 cups water Dinner Chicken breast with spaghetti sauce & parmesan cheese 1 cup whole wheat spaghetti with sauce & cheese 1 cup grapes 1 can beef vegetable soup Crystal Light peach ice tea There!
