Weight Watchers New Cheese Products: A “Cheesy” Love Story

“The rat takes the cheese…”

In celebration of Weight Watchers new cheese product line, I was asked to share my “cheesiest” love story with all you guys. Ummm, seeing how I am not really a romatical type (and tend to frown upon such “willy-nilly” gestures from boyfriends), I had to rack my brain to think of a time where I actually enjoyed such behavior. Now just to clarify, I’m definitely not any sort of curmudgeon, I’m just really practical when it comes this sort of stuff (afterall, I do work in finance).

As I was laying out the picnic set that I was sent by the WW team, I thought about the time my (now ex) boyfriend S prepared a lovely picnic for me in Central Park one weekend. S and I had both been working long hours that month (such the life of a banker), so it was so nice to finally have a free weekend to ourselves. For our date, I was expecting the usual NYC outing - trying out a new restaurant or seeing the latest Broadway show, so I was surprised that S showed up early in the afternoon at my apartment with flowers and a picnic basket in hand. “We’re going to Central Park” he said.

“UGH, couldn’t we just go to Sapa?” I thought, as visions of ants and other creepy crawlies danced through my head. However, I put on a brave face and went along for the ride.

And you know what? It was actually a really gorgeous picnic! S pretty much cleaned out Whole Foods so we had a bunch of yummy goodies to munch on and it was actually nice to get some fresh air (well as fresh as you can get in NYC) while enjoying a meal. Plus S (always the planner) brought a nice blanket so I wouldn’t get bitten by the bugs and a misting fan to keep us cool from the heat.

Note: not actual Central Park picnic (didn’t bring a camera) – this is the WW set for my indoor picnic party

So I don’t know if this can be called “cheesy” love story (although there was plenty of crackers and cheese consumed that day), but it was certainly pleasantly unexpected. S and I are no longer in touch but hey S, if you are reading this, I still have love for our “cheesy” fun date!

"On our first date, he really wanted to open every door. This would have been fine if there weren't a foot of snow to climb through. It took forever to get in and out and looked pretty cheesey!"
