God bless Quakers

I'm hardly an oatmeal connoisseur...I was more of a cream of wheat girl as a kid, and I don't really enjoy plain oatmeal. I'm strictly a microwaveable & flavored oatmeal eater, and I usually dress that up with sugar and a little milk. That said, this may be the best oatmeal I've ever eaten.

The one I tried was the apple raisin, nuked with water and then cooled with 1/4 cup of milk after cooking. It was sweet enough on its own that I didn't need to add sugar. Nice texture also, not terribly gluey like some instant oatmeals. No weird saltiness that you sometimes get with the flavored packets. At 150 calories, 2g of fat, and 3g of fiber, it weighs in at just 3 points, and has kept my hunger away for 3 hours and counting.

P.S. My post yesterday was right...the weigh-in yesterday was the top of the hill. I was down 1.5 lbs. this morning. I think it's a combination of my body getting used to the new pills and also finally growing convinced that I'm not going to dehydrate it on a whim (I'm sometimes bad about drinking water. Or drinking anything, really. I'm not much of a drinker).
