I friend turned me on to a WW recipe she found for a cake consisting of nothing but cake mix and a can of pumpkin. She made chocolate muffins with it using a chocolate cake mix and they were AWESOME. I made a carrot cake mix with it and IT was awesome. Somewhere in the range of 130 calories per slice. Not bad....big on the sugar...but you get the pumpkin benefits

That sounds good. do you add any water or anything? I would like to try it

How did the carrot cake taste? Did it taste like carrot cake even with the pumpkin in it?

For me, Lucifer is in the Oreo Blizzard from Dairy Queen.. and//or Japanese food.. OMG! lol.

:drinker:

Omg. i loooooooooooooooveeeeeeeeeeeeee Pizza Rolls! But you did the right thing!!!

AAHAHAHAHAHAHA...... SOO Funny, I have to do the same with ICE CREAM!!!!!

Here a reciepe from ww

Those counting calories or monitoring their sugar intake will find their mouths water with sweet-tooth delight at this quick and easy reduced calorie, reduced fat, reduced sugar recipe. The cake, topped with frosting, comes in at 2 points per serving using the Weight Watchers program.
Ingredients

* 1 Package Pillsbury Moist Supreme Reduced Sugar Cake Mix (Classic Yellow, Devil's Food Cake, Classic White, or Lemon)
* 1 12 oz. can of diet soda

Instructions

Preheat oven and prepare pan for baking as directed on cake mix box. Slowly pour the can of soda into a mixing bowl. Empty the contents of cake mix into the bowl. It is important to introduce the mix into the soda and stir gently. While baking, the effervescent soda helps the cake to rise. Pouring the soda into the mix or stirring to forcefully will result in a flatter cake. Batter should be stirred just until moistened.

To make portioned servings, use batter to make 24 cupcakes being sure to use cup cake liners. Alternatively, cake pans may also be used. Bake according to directions on box.
Icing Options

Cupcakes can be frosted with 2 tablespoons of low fat whipped topping without affecting its point total. Also, to offer a richer flavor, one might try combining 1 1/2 cups of fat free vanilla yogurt with one package of Jell-O Sugar Free Fat Free Cheesecake Pudding. Mix thoroughly and top with 2 tablespoons per cupcake just before serving.
Choosing the Right Cake Flavor and Diet Soda

Pairing the cake mix and soda is crucial to flavor, but is not rocket science. For those hankering a lemon cake, the choice is obvious - lemon lime soda. Chocolate cake taste bests if a diet chocolate soda can be found (check out Waist Watchers Soda brand). If this somewhat elusive flavor cannot be found, opt for a diet cola or cream soda instead. Yellow and white cake mixes work well with lemon lime or cream sodas.

Wow. This reminds me that I ate a whole bag, watching a movie with my boyfriend's brother last week sometime... literally. He had a bag on a plate and I ate half. Then he cooked another bag. I ate half. But I still managed to lose 2 lbs after that! lol

Having the will power is great (it really, really is), but maybe you should have allowed yourself just one or two?

The biggest problem that happens when we get cravings is that we deny ourselves. If we constantly deny ourselves, the more eating right and getting healthy and losing weight seems painful. And then it rolls into longing for the way we used to eat, it isn't fair that other people can eat whatever they want and I can't... etc. etc. etc.

In general, when we want something, and try to substitute it for something else, it backfires. I can't find it now, but there was a great article that I read on this. We tell ourselves that we can't have the chocolate, or the chips, or whatever it is, so we find something else to eat instead. But that doesn't satisfy us, so we find something else to eat. And neither does that. In the end, you've eaten way more than you should have, and generally, you end up eating whatever that first thing that you really wanted was anyways. The point? Isn't it better to just eat that ONE thing, in moderation, in the first place?!

If you really want something, you can make it work. And you can analyze what it is that you want. For example, one crunch egg (the Easter candy), has 9 grams of fat. Seeing as that is only slightly less than a quarter of what I'm allotted for the day, there is no way that is worth it to me, so I resist eating one every single day I go into work and that jar full of them is staring at me. 6 pepperoni pizza rolls have 10 grams of fat; 6 cheese pizza rolls have 8. If you are going to eat that as your lunch, maybe paired with some veggies, I think that's totally reasonable. Sure, they are not the BEST thing for you, but eating a quarter of a day's worth of fat for lunch leaves you plenty left for breakfast and dinner. OR, you could eat them as a snack, instead. Eating only 3 would be 5 or 4 grams of fat. The 100 calorie packs tend to have about 3 grams of fat each, just as a comparison. It really isn't so horrible.

I am a firm believer in everything in moderation. I think that depriving yourself can only cause depression and stress. You have to indulge yourself every once in a while, and if that means you eat nothing but salad (with no dressing, of course!) the rest of the day, it can be totally worth it. If I know I'm going out for dinner some night or my husband wants to make a pizza, I plan accordingly. You can still do and eat whatever you want, you just have to plan for it!

Glad your willpower kicked in! You will be so glad that you turned those fat bombs into a soap sponge! They just explode on your body!!!!!!!!!!!! Hopefully your pantry, freezer, and refrigerator are not hiding anymore of those types of derailments! Way to go! Proud of you!

these are what i eat when i want some pizza rolls:

they are surprising tasty and affordable, and 200 calories

These might have a TON of sodium in them, most pre packaged meals do, try making it yourself-the sodium will be worse than the fat or calories b/c it holds water and will make you sleepy and feel gross.

She's right about the sodium. I sometimes eat the prepacked for lunch because of my crazzzy schedule. In this case try making them with english muffins, sauce, and low fat mozz. Throw a pepperoni or two on there and call it pizza! Kids just like the IDEA of pizza..they most of the time don't even really care.
