Ad for Cool Whip

I’m down just a little from last week, not quite a pound, but I’m down. I think it’s the tracking.

I guess when you gain weight prior to surgery, it’s harder to do the surgery because there’s fat in the way. But, like I said, I don’t think I’m actually gaining weight, now, despite what the office scale says.

Anyway, I discovered a yummy snack last night: you mix some zero sugar Cool Whip and some Crazy Richard’s Peanut Butter Powder: voilà! Peanut butter mousse.

The only problem is how much is too much? I guess you would just measure it.

I mix Cool Whip with Greek yogurt, too. Just a couple of tablespoons. I can’t do yogurt by itself: the weird texture, sour aftertaste. I’ve tried many times to no avail, but with Cool Whip, I can dig it.

For the season, there’s an old WW recipe: Pumpkin Mousse, where you take a can of pumpkin, a box of sugar free butterscotch pudding, and a tub of sugar free Cool Whip and mix them all together. Very tasty. Only a few points, though I don’t know the point value on the new system.

There’s nothing you can’t do with a container of Cool Whip.
