But wait! What happened, you might ask?
Half Success
Saturday I had lunch with some lovely ladies at a local and delicious restaurant called Carlyle. I had a grilled chicken sandwich with french fries. I ate half of the sandwich and only a few fries (they were shoe string fries too). I considered this a huge success. I even planned to take half of it with me, but forgot the box at the table when we left. It was probably better that way anyhow! Then I didn't have to feel obligated to eat the leftovers.
After that, I headed to a friend's house to visit. Her and her husband just bought a house and so we hung out Saturday evening. I had dinner there and tried to be modest with my eating as much as possible. Still, I went over my daily Points+ for Saturday.
Failure Begins
Sunday was the big cookie exchange. Could there be a worse event for a Weight Watcher?

| The tempting spread... and this didn't even include the appetizers |
*sigh*
I spent all day Sunday baking two separate types of cookies, as well as an appetizer (recipes to come for all).
 |
| Hungry Girl Fiesta Bites - 1 Points+ each |
You can kind of see them in the lower left hand corner of the bowl.
I also made Meemaw's Kitchen Sink Christmas Cookies from the Deen Family cookbook (3 Points+ each).
They had a million things in them! But everything I made was sooooo good!
Still, as you might imagine, it didn't end well. Remember how I told the host that I wouldn't be taking any cookies home? I knew that I would be interrogated by the ladies for why I wasn't taking cookies (that is the entire point to this, afterall!), and I didn't feel like fielding questions. I'm still not crazy about sharing my journey with others. I sampled several (or a million - who's counting?!) cookies. Still, I brought that entire cookie bag to work today and let those people go at it. At least that's good right?
I kept a few favorites and hid them in the back of my pantry, like these babies:

| Peppermint White Chocolate Cookies - kind of taste like Girl Scouts Thin Mints |
Out of site, out of mind... I hope?!
How was your weekend? Do you participate in a cookie exchange (or something similar) during the holidays?
