Don't Quit

Don't Quit/ WW Version
When you've eaten too much and can't write it downAnd you feel like the biggest failure in town:When you want to give up just because you gave inAnd forget all about being healthy and thin:So What! You went over your points a bit: It's your next move that counts..So don't you quit!!
It's a moment of truth, It's an attitude change:It's learning the skills to get back in your range:It's telling yourself "You've done great up till now:You can take on this challenge and beat it somehow!It's part of your journey towards reaching your goal.You're still going to make it, just stay in control.
To stumble and fall is not a disgraceif you summon the will to get back in the race.But often the struggler's when losing their grip Just throw in the towel and continue to slipAnd learn too late when the damage is doneThat the race wasn't over and they still could have won.
Lifestyle change can be awkward and slow.But facing each challenge will help you to grow:Success is failure turned inside out.It's silver lining in the cloud of self doubt.When you are pushed to the brink, just refuse to submit:If you bite it JUST write it, but don't you QUIT!-

Red Velvet Insanity Cupcakes

HG's Red Velvet Insanity Cupcakes! (Thank you Terry, SSB)
Ingredients:
For Frosting
6 tbsp. Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Creme
6 tbsp. Cool Whip Free, thawed
1/4 cup fat-free cream cheese, softened
1 tbsp. Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated)

For Cupcakes
1 cup Pillsbury Moist Supreme Reduced Sugar Cake Mix, Devil's Food**
1 cup Pillsbury Moist Supreme Reduced Sugar Cake Mix, Classic Yellow**
Two 25-calorie diet hot cocoa mix packets
1/2 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters)
1/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
1/2 oz. red food coloring
1 tsp. Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated)
1/8 tsp. salt

Directions:
Place half of your chocolate chips (2 tbsp.) and the contents of both cocoa packets in a tall glass. Add 12 ounces of boiling water, and stir until chips and cocoa mix have dissolved. Place glass in the freezer until mixture is cold (about 30 minutes). Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, mix together marshmallow creme, cream cheese, and 1 tbsp. Splenda until smooth. Fold in Cool Whip. Place bowl in the fridge to chill until cupcakes are ready to be frosted. Once the cocoa in the freezer has chilled, give it a stir, and pour it into a large mixing bowl. Add the cake mixes, egg substitute, remaining chocolate chips, red food coloring, 1 tsp. Splenda, and salt. Using a whisk or fork, mix batter for about 2 minutes (until smooth and blended). Batter will be thin, but don't worry, your cupcakes will puff up once baked! Line a 12-cup muffin pan with baking cups, and spray lightly with nonstick spray (or simply spray the pan with nonstick spray). Evenly spoon batter into the pan. Place pan in the oven, and bake for 15 - 20 minutes. Cupcakes will look shiny when done. Once cupcakes have cooled completely, evenly spread the frosting over them. Enjoy! MAKES 12 SERVINGS
