Did you watch the big game yesterday? I did, mostly for the commercials and the half time show, although I have to admit the end of the game was exciting! Did you catch the Weight Watchers commercial? It really resonated with me and what I’m going through as I change my eating habits and the habits of my entire family. Didn’t catch it? Check it out now:
This commercial really highlights our unhealthy relationship with food. In addition to overeating, many of us desire to eat healthier foods but find ourselves sabotaged by the foods around us. I have been victim to wanting to eat healthier while actually eating a very unhealthy diet. Instead of feeling tired and sluggish all the time, I’d much rather feel energized and healthy. That’s why I am committed to changing my habits and changing the habits of my entire family. It’s out with the junk food and in with the healthy habits! That doesn’t have to mean giving up everything we love though! If you do that then you are sure to fail.
This is where Weight Watchers personal coaching program comes in. You will get your very own coach who is at the ready for every time you face a challenge. They are there to help with the hard stuff! For example, watching the big game is prime time to indulge in a whole lot of unhealthy foods. My coach has taught me that planning and choices are key though. By planning ahead I was able to make these delicious Jalapeno Poppers Weight Watchers recipe and they were only 1 PointsPlus value for each serving of TWO poppers! After two poppers I was full! These were incredibly delicious and I liked them even better than their unhealthy, deep fried counterparts because I wasn’t left feeling bogged down after eating them. They were satisfying and filling!
Next time you will be faced with a similar situation, plan ahead! It saves you having to deprive yourself because you’ll already have a healthier version of your favorite foods ready and waiting! My biggest thing when starting my journey to a healthier lifestyle was that I knew deprivation wouldn’t work well for me. Moderation and the occasional indulgence has worked very well and I’m proud to say that I now pass on the unhealthy processed foods I used to buy and opt for organic options instead. In the end I feel better for it!

Those sound so tasty! My hubby and I love snacking on things like this, so I will definitely be trying them.
Those look delicious! Jalepeno poppers are one of my favorite party foods, but I’ve never tried making them myself. Thanks!
I am just in love with anything jalepeno! I so need to make some of these to try!
I have to admit I am not much into jalapeños, but this does look like a nice recipe for those who are.
This is one of my favorite snacks of all time. I’m excited to see a weight watchers friendly version.
So nice to see a healthier version of these! I don’t eat these often but when I do I can’t get enough of them!
Yum! I don’t think I could do these but my husband would love this treat! He’s a huge jalapeño fan so he would be grateful to me if I made these. Very different and creative too!
I like Poppers.. and since they are weight watchers i could eat them. I am on the 10lbs left of the diet to go..
Jalepenos are one of my favorite things to add to recipes. Jalepeno poppers were always a favorite for my kids. These poppers sound like a healthy snack!
My favorite cheesy snack of all time! I’ve been making poppers since I was five!
It’s great to have a coach so you can better monitor your diet and intake of food. Planning is important and we do it a week ahead so we can be sure that we select healthier versions of food for the family.
Never tried these before, they look delicious! Definitely trying this recipe soon, so happy there’s a healthier version of this recipe.
I love jalapeno poppers, they are some of my favorite things to eat!
mhmmm hmm I do love Jalepeno Poppers! I haven’t made them at home though!
These sound so delicious. We love jalapeno poppers!
These look delicious. I loved the commercial for Weight Watchers during the Super Bowl.
Oh my – those look so good! I love that they’re baked rather than fried. I’m definitely going to give them a try. I have a couple Weight Watchers cookbooks, and I always enjoy their recipes.
I’m not into spicy food at all. But that is one thing that my husband would really enjoy.
Yum. I love jalapeno poppers. These look fantastic. I was looking for a lower cal recipe.
Oh, that looks so delicious! I would absolutely love to try it anytime, must make for myself!
I love jalepeno poppers and I am always looking for slim downed recipes. I am a fan of WW and think their new online program is great. They have finally added support, which was something that was lacking with their online program. I think a lot more people will be successful with it now.
I LOVE jalapeno poppers! I love light recipes. I should try this.
Great idea for Game Day food! Jalapeño poppers were so popular in CA…that was the first time I had tried one. Glad to see you put a healthy spin on them.
Wow! I didn’t know all of this about Weight Watchers – and I do love that healthy recipe!! Looks fun and tasty – thank you 🙂
Those look yummy! I have been trying to cook us some healthier things here – soups, chillis, homemade breads – things like that. Weight Watchers seems to work great for so many people too – it always helps to have support!
Can I just say that you have just made my night and I can not wait to give this a try. I love spicy food and jalapanos! Oh boy I can not wait.
I love Jalapeno Poppers but have never had them this way. Sounds delicious. I’ll have to make them sometime.
they look real good
