Time for Reality Check....Chicken Soup for the Soul!

Chicken Soup for Flavor, Comfort, and for the Soul is always a welcome, whether you are on a diet...or not, but just enjoying  a nice cup, or bowl  of fresh homemade chicken soup!

As you know, I have announced my diet to the whole world, and also mentioned which kind of diet I am pursuing~
Well, I still stick to my WeightWatchers Diet that I lost 35 lbs in 3 months, which was 7 yrs ago, and have gained the weight back...only. because I just did not care, or keep track of what I'm actually eating...and that does add up over months and years...do not fool yourself, because, it does make a difference to keep track of what you are eating!
I think good home made soup is the best therapy for the soul, and also for a healthy DIET! Since I chose Weight Watchers Diet online, this time...knowing my point system, this is the best, of the best chicken noodle soup recipe that I already have been making for years, and years, but you can always revise it!  As long as you have the basic chicken soup (stock recipe) you can always revise it to your liking! The best part of it, this is acceptable on every diet you have decided to join!

  20. Csodálatos látvány ez a lélekmelegítő leves!!! Csodálatos képek. További erőt és kitartást a diétázáshoz. Én is két napja finom húslevesen élek, holnap pedig halat készítek. Igaz most éppen korog a gyomrom, és éhes vagyok, na de megyek iszom egy pohár vizet, és majd csak elmúlik.:))

  21. Hi Elizabeth, I am such a soup person that no matter how full I am, my stomach always has room for some soup but most of the time, I can just have soup as a meal and that will full me up as well. Losing weight has to do with diet, exercise and mental, you're doing great!
