Mystery revealed!!!

wow!!
On a personal note....
I did something very silly yesterday and stepped on the scale, to my extreme horror, I hit a new HIGH.... the top of all the tops!!!(for me) I won't get into the details of that but thought today would be a good day to start making sm
arter choices, shall I say....
Anyway, I had always had really good luck in the past with WW so I thought I would try and keep an eye on my points and see how it goes. Was doing well until one of my clients brought me my fav, a tim hortons coffee, extra large double double... and it was so good. So that got me thinking, I wonder how many ww points a coffee like this would be, to my complete horror, I just looked it up....
For those of you who don't know about WW, you are allow a certain number of points depending on your age, sex, height, activity level... ect. and each food has a point value, count your points loose the weight...
I am allowed 18points for my day (I am short, sit all day and am a girl with very little activity, the 
worst combination...)
Ok back to the coffee.... are you ready???
7 points for my coffee
Oh but wait it gets worse, when I am extra lucky I get one of those totally awesome breakfast sandwiches(cheese, egg, sausage, Oh and I put ketchup on it)
Those little bites of yumminess     
13 points....
~~~~~
~~~~~~
total 20points for my breakfast favorite!!
this is something I would say I have more than weekly and at times, more than daily, at least for the coffee....
Gee... wonder why I have put on 20+ pounds, could anyone help me solve this mystery!!
ARG!! I hang my head down in shame!! 
guess I need to really think weather that yummy hot, sweet, creamy coffee is werth... OH say 8hours on a tredmill...
a sad day for coffee drinkers everywhere!!!

LOL Sorry about your points! Maybe you can reward yourself with a coffee/breaskfast sandwich for every 5 pounds you lose?

BTW, I think we have the same body...and taste!

If stamping only burned more calories...:)

HOLY! I'd have never thought it would be so much!!! I just started the WW again too!! Good luck!

Oh but Timmies extra large steeped tea with one milk and sugar is 2 points and a Starbucks grande soy latte is 3 points (I think the milk version is the same and I think they have a sugar free chocolate syrup now. MMMMMMMMMMMM!)

I know the feeling! When I was doing WW I was out with my kids one day and had forgotten my pda with my points info. I decided to have a shake from BK because how bad could that be?? Well it was bad. About 2 days worth of points almost. ACK!!
