Dieting Minds Want To Know....Does Wine Count as a Serving of Fruit?!

So I'm on Day 3 of Weight Watchers....went to "the meeting" on Monday and had a total "cinematic moment" at the scale. It was one of those things where, if it had been a movie and I was on the big screen, The camera would have zoomed in on my face while the background would have zoomed out a la Jaws or any disaster movie. I saw the number written down....it was in slow motion. I could hear each stroke of the pen on the paper, drowned out everything else in the room. I did manage from dramatically throwing myself down to the ground and screaming, "NOOOOOOO". Very glad for that as I didn't need anymore embarrassment as all of the springs and pieces of the scale had shot out cartoon-like after I hefted myself up there. (not really but it sure felt like it was imminent)

Ok, so I'm on the diet wagon... counting points, measuring out 15 tiny twist pretzels, looking at everything through the red lines of a 1-cup measuring cup. YAY! This is going to be AWESOME! (please note the sarcasm). So I will keep you posted on the progress....Day 3 and things have gone swimmingly. Well, I mean, I would promise my first-born child for a pizza and pitcher of beer from Barley's or an order of Pollo Fundido from Monterrey's with a side of queso and guacamole with hot chips. So okay maybe "swimmingly" isn't the word....maybe begrudgingly. Must......remember.....size 10 jeans.....must.....fit.....into.....clothes.

So I circle back around to the Wine = a serving of fruit. I mean, grapes and all those anti-oxidants! It's gotta be good for me. What about beer? It's time for Oktoberfest....can I count the grains and water content as something good for me? I think so!

Happy Eating to All and to All a Good Bite!
