Step away from the Munchkins!

I stepped into the company kitchen to grab a drink and there sitting on the counter were Dunkin' Donut Munchkins - aka Donut Holes. I peered into the box and before I knew it I had popped one of the sumptuous morsels into my mouth. "Mmmmm," my taste buds said and propelled my hand back into the box for the other kind. At this point my brain kicked into gear and I stepped away from the small box of fat. The moment of weakness spinning in my head - "What had I done"? Then the little "It's okay" voice spoke up, "Oh, they were only holes, they couldn't be that bad. And besides, you only had one...of each..."

I left the kitchen reassured that it was no big deal. As I sat back down to work the "You like being thin" voice swung back into play. "So how bad were they...really?" I clicked on the Internet and in a half minute search later my fears became reality... Holes are horrible! Depending on the kind, 4 Munchkins (which is a serving) is between 6 and 7.5 points. (For those of you not on WWers and need a comparison - I get a whopping 25 points a day, and usually eat about 8 points for lunch.) So, in my torturous and mouth-watering moment, I ate 3.5 points. So, yet again, I use my favorite phrase since joining WWers - SO NOT WORTH IT!!

Please, for the sake of your waistline, heed my warning - Step away from the Munchkins!!!
