Zucchini and Red Onion Pita Pizzas

These are so easy and delicious for a quick lunch! You could use fat-free Mozzarella and save a point, but I prefer the rich goodness of the Asiago.



Serves - 1
WW Points - 5

1 Western Bagel Alternative Pita
1 wedge Light Laughing Cow Cheese
1/4 cup zucchini, thinly sliced and sauteed
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced and sauteed
1/4 cup Asiago cheese, shredded

Place pita on baking sheet lined with foil. Broil for 2 minutes, watching carefully so pita doesn't burn.

Remove from oven, turn pita to other side and spread with Light Laughing Cow cheese. Top with sauteed zucchini and red onions. Sprinkle with Asiago cheese.

Return to oven and broil for 3 minutes, being careful not to burn. Remove from oven, cut into 4 pieces and enjoy!

Gave Away My Skinny Clothes

Yes, you read correctly! I gave away my skinny clothes and I have to say it was completely liberating. Recently, in the midst of a move, I found myself standing in my closet feeling completely overwhelmed. Now mind you, this closet was the size of a small bedroom and it was FULL of clothing, all sizes that I have ranged through the last 15 years. I always hung on to my "skinny" clothes because someday I was going to "get back into them". Those clothes had somehow became my security over the years that everything would be okay. What I didn't realize until my recent epiphany is that those very clothes that I had thought were my security were actually keeping me in denial about my real problem of being FAT! Those clothes represented years of guilt. Now, I'm not saying it started out as an easy process, but one by one I went through every item tossing anything that did not fit into the donation pile. By the time I had reached the last of it, I felt as if a huge burden had been lifted. I felt happy. I was actually giving myself permission to be happy right where I was at that very moment, at that very size. It's like a fresh start!

While I believe it's important to get rid of your "fat clothes" during your weight loss journey, I believe it is equally important to rid your life of anything that is causing you to feel guilt or shame and preventing your success. What will you find in your closet?
