Weight loss is difficult. I've made pervasive changes though, and I'm seeing parts of the process in everything that I do. I'm seeing progress; the number on the scale is moving, and that buoys me and helps me to stick to the changes I've been working on.

Weight loss is also uncomfortable because my body is crying out for certain foods that I'm not willing to give it. I've especially been craving some comfort food.

Badly.

The greasier and cheesier, the better.

This Healthy Hash Brown Casserole from Weight Watchers' Cream of the Crop magazine (no longer available online) is a healthier, lower fat version of the comfort food I've been craving, but you would never know because it tastes just as good as the original.

Notes

If you don't like Greek yogurt, you can substitute fat free sour cream in its place. Just know that sour cream has more carbs and more calories than Greek yogurt. I can't tell the difference between them, and it doesn't really matter which one you use in the recipe. It will taste good either way.
