Okay, so this is what I ate today so far (as of 5:24 p.m. today):
Slimfast Shake - 6 points (because I use more milk because it is way too sweet - I may be over-estimating)
Teriyaki Rice Bowl - 11 points (lots of veggies and 1/2 the teriyaki sauce so it might be lower, but again I would rather over-estimate)
Chicken Finger - 4 points
Pizza slice - 6 points (may be as low as 4 but better safe than sorry)
peanuts - 4 points (and that's a 1/4 of a cup)
Carrots - 0 points
Grand Total = 31 points --> That's all she wrote.
It sure didn't feel like much. This is why I hate counting points. I really don't feel like it is a lot of food, but a few bad (or worse) choices and you are screwed. I hope I can last to bedtime on water and chewing gum.

Yeah, peanuts are a really bad one for me. I could eat my entire days point allotment in peanuts and look around wondering what all the fuss was about!
are you new at ww? if you don't mind me saying so: you need to eat more veggies!
I just realized that the comment I wrote made me sound like a bossy little know-it-all (which I may be, but which was not my intention).
What I meant to say was that I find that if I eat a lot of veggies throughout the day I always have points left over after dinner. That helps me a lot.
Another thing I try to focus on is having a really filling breakfast: fruit, oatmeal, skim milk, egg whites etc. I've never tried slim fast. Do you find that it fills you up? 6 points seems like a lot if it doesn't...
I wasn't intentially counting, but a conversation with my sis earlier in the day made me go back and sit down and do it and then I found out where I was and said - oh crap! There were lots of veggies in the rice bowl and pineapple on the pizza and I had the carrots, but there I was at 31 points.
Am I new to WW? No. I have been off and on for the last 6 years. I am in need of serious motivation and I (for some unknown reason to me) am resisting counting. I got the exercise and the water down, but managing my food remains my big challenge.
Slimfast does do pretty good for me. I am not a big breakfast eater so if I do the slimfast thing I get the protein and fibre and calcium and I actually fidn I have sustained energy until lunch. I may be off with the point count on that, but I know I use more milk than they recommend so I like to be diligent if I am counting. I usually do the slimfast thing or I have the new weight control oatmeal and a glass of milk. Either one keeps me from snacking in the A.M. I do my 'best' snacking in the afternoon and evening.
Oh - at least peanuts have lots of fibre!
yeah, it's funny how those damn points add up so quickly.
i hope you can find your motivation Kristen. I've just started back on the plan because my weight has crept back up to a point where I'm uncomfortable, and it's so far so good, but I know I need to be diligent.
