Hello, Weight Watchers! Did anyone have to opportunity to use the Positive Self-Talking Tool for Living this week? How we think can affect how we behave, and how we think is completely within our control. Positive Self-Talking and the support we receive in meetings can build our feelings of self-worth – regardless of our weight – and help us behave in a manner consistent with our goals. I Am Not My Weight!

Weight Watchers Doesn’t Have to Break the Family Budget
I hear a lot of members mention that it’s more expensive to eat healthy than not. No member should ever have to quit Weight Watchers because of an increase in food spending. The linked articles and attached document have some tips and tricks for you to stretch your healthy food budget even further!
ARTICLES OF NOTE
This week, we’ll be discussing the Weight Watchers Levels of Change. Environment is the first Level of Change that we need to manage on our way to a thin, fit identity. This meeting includes a change for us to identify which of our environments need managing. We’ll be using a Three-R strategy to plan to clean up our weight-management environment and put ourselves on the road to success!
Have a great week, everyone!

In honor of the state fair’s “Year of Corn” theme, I thought I’d include some corn-y recipes this week.
Corn Dogs
POINTS® Value: 5 | Servings: 8
1 sprays cooking spray
11 1/2 oz Pillsbury Cornbread Twist(s), or other brand
8 tsp mustard, spicy, brown
8 average fat-free beef and pork hot dog(s)
2 large egg white(s), whisked
1/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Unroll cornbread twists and separate into 8 equal pieces using dough perforations as a guide (each of the 8 pieces will contain 2 cornbread twists). Pinch together the existing perforations between twists to make 8 solid pieces. Roll each piece into a 4- X 5-inch rectangle. Spread 1 teaspoon of mustard on each rectangle. Place hot dogs on rectangles, roll up and pinch the ends in to seal. Place egg whites and breadcrumbs in separate shallow dishes. Roll corn dogs first in egg whites, then in breadcrumbs, turning to coat. Transfer corn dogs to prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes.
Corn Bread
POINTS® Value: 3 | Servings: 8
1 cup uncooked cornmeal, yellow
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp table salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
14 3/4 oz cream-style corn, canned
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 large egg white(s)
2 tsp corn oil
Preheat oven to 400ºF. Coat an 8-inch square cake pan with cooking spray. Combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a large bowl. Mix well with a fork, then make a well in the center; set aside. Combine creamed corn, buttermilk, egg whites and oil in a medium bowl; mix until blended. Fold mixture into dry ingredients; mix until blended. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake until a wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Allow to cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan; cool completely before cutting into 8 squares.
