[ONE THING TO DO THIS WEEK Think progress, not perfection]
[ONE THING TO DO THIS WEEK Give the Healthy Eating Zone a go]
Trying to be perfect is unrealisticâand possibly a waste of time.
Science shows that being kind to yourself when things donât go as
planned (hey, youâre human!) can actually help you get back on track
with eating better and moving more. Frustrated because you've veered
off course? Cut yourself some slack by imagining what you'd say to a
friend in the same situation. Then repeat those words to yourself!
Join WW for more stay-on-track
strategies and 24/7 support.

How I get more greens
âIf I make a decadent dinnerâsay, lasagna or pizzaâI serve myself a slice and then crowd the rest of my plate with kale or arugula salad. I get a little cheesy goodness and a lot of greens in every bite. It spreads the yumminess out over the entire meal, and Iâm satisfied with a single SmartPoints®-friendly portion.â

You asked, WW answered
Is it OK to have "cheat" days?
First, let's all agree to stop using that word. Healthy eating is about
balance, and fitting all of the foods you love into your journey can
actually help you stay on track. Here, a few ways to make that happen.
Plan for sweets. Pick a night each week to indulge in something special, like a slice of rich chocolate cake, and give yourself permission to truly enjoy it! This can help prevent feelings of deprivation.
Limit the leftovers. Can't say no to chips or ice cream but need to stock up for a party? Buy them at the last minute so that you're not tempted to dig in pre-celebration. Enjoy the snacks on the big day but send any extra bags or pints home with your guests.
Keep a sense of perspective. Whether you spend a few too many SmartPoints on pizza or find that you've gone way over your Budget at happy hour, remember: It's not the end of the world! You can get back on track, beginning with your next bite.

ZeroPoint⢠ingredient
of the week
Mushrooms
How to cook them
Mushrooms shine when sautéed on their own, but they
also complement other ingredients beautifully. For
example, you could combine them with Greek yogurt to
make a creamy sauce for pasta or baked potatoes, or toss
them into spinach salad in place of bacon.
