The Thrill of Victory and the Agony of Smart Food White Cheddar Popcorn
This week has been hard. It started with an orgasmic display at JoJo’s Pizza involving barbecue chicken thin crust. I would argue that I ate all of my flex points in one glorious sitting.
But last night, my friends, last night. My husband went with quickie dinner prep and made frozen chicken cheese quesadillas for the kids. Seriously, these things are a candidate for a “Don’t Eat it Steve” installment over at Sneeze.com. However, I’d worked all day. I was hungry. They were quick and dirty. I was soooo tempted (Plus, there was the enticement of my six year old working “quesadilla” in every sentence. For real, try it. “Would you like Quesadillas for dinner? I’m watching Mighty B after my Quesadilla. I need to go potty but I can’t stop eating this Quesadilla.”)
Anyway…I pulled myself away from the table and drove to the corner store. I bought a SmartOnes Quesadilla instead. 1/2 the points.
I was soooo proud of myself. It’s a small victory, but it’s a victory. I could’ve gone with quick and easy and tastes like crap. Instead, I went with quick, and drive to go get it, and tastes pretty decent BUT is not going to blow my diet.
And then the awesomeness ended when I learned that Smartfood White Cheddar Popcorn is not 2 points per serving like regular popcorn. It’s the Cheddar the happy cheddar flavor that did me in.

P.S. I am quite sure that Mrs. Viggo Mortenson uttered none of the above sentences today.

Congrats on your quesadilla victory – that’s impressive, really!
I’ve been lurking around the blog for the last few weeks and I guess it’s time to make myself known.
The quesadilla victory is actually a pretty big one!
Smartfood popcorn makes 100-calorie packs so you don’t have to fight to eat a proper portion size (it’s just so tasty!) or give it up altogether. They’re my favorite 2-point lunchtime indulgence.
FB – I hear she also likes honeybuns
FFT – I totally did my happy dance
Keri – We LOOOVE delurkers! As to the packs…I have to GET those!!!

Congrats on the quesadilla victory!! (Would it have helped to pronounce quesadilla like Napolean Dynamite’s Grandma? Would that have helped the urge pass?) As it is, you have shown us all what dedication and dieting devotion look like. (Love those photos of you two under your ‘About’ button!) Greta, you rock!
Well if it’s orgasmic pizza, you should eat it.
And where do those bastards at Smartfood get off calling the white cheddar popcorn “smart”?

Glad you could have a quesadilla too. According to my WW points calculator, the 100 calorie packs of SmartFood are 2 points.
