help! How can I use up all my points

[Trolley Dolly xx]

Hi everyone,

Spent most of my life eating junk food..no problem eating loads in one go..quanity, not quality!! Now eating healthy food have trouble using all my points.
I know I have to eat them all, and I am def not starving, in fact very full up.

Any advice or tips, want to stay away for choc, crisps etc as my body needs a break from all that type of food.
Any help would be very much appreciated

fraid i cant help as i find im cooking well and not using much points so always end up with about 8-10pts left over, what about trying to have some kind of dessert after lunch and dinner such as yougurt and banana or aving a smoothie made with milk or yougurt? ive been having a hot choc before bed too to help with craving choc.. even though im not eating junk so far ive included a small choc bar in each day within my points btu i freeze it eat it slowly and enjoy it not gobble down 5 like i used to!

If you're having trouble eating all your points try things like wholemeal pasta for a snack, fruit and yogurt for desert and things like that. My fav is fruit (0.5pts strawberries, 1pt grapes) and 1pt weight watchers thick cream which is a beautiful after dinner treat while being quite healthy.

Nicolaann are you using the points up though? That's a lot to be short

Thanks everyone

example of my menus are:

porridge made with milk and topped with raspberries 4pts

3 ryvitas with 180g tuna, large salad 3.5pts
apple- 1pt
salmon-7.5pts
vegetables

clementines 1pts

today:
natural yoghurt with raspberries, tea with milk 3.5pts
2 fruit ryvita, banana, xlight phil light-4pts
ww quiche, large salad- 5.5pts

Have managed to still have 16pts left since monday!!
May try more fruit and yoghurt and a smoothie is a good idea. my daily allow is 22 pts.
Thanks again for advice xx

weight watchers make yummy frozen puddings for about 3 points each. I have one after dinner if I have enough left, or for an evening treat.

Even small changes like forget the xtra light philly, go for the regular one or a different type of Ryvita could add a few points on a day.

Dont be afraid to have some treats though, WW is all about changing your eating habits forever not just a diet and treats etc are a part of life

Thanks Starlight, not really suppose to eat sugar or wheat, mainly fresh foods. But yes will go for regular philly, I think will make a smoothie later. Suppose its trial and error really.

Thanks for ideas x

You could always use olive oil in any cooking. Its high in points but at least it is a healthy fat.

You could also try some nuts. They are really good for you and high in points

total agree nuts as point killers , def worth a try xxx

If you change your lifestyle slowly then its more likely to stick so if your used to say full fat milk change it to semi for a few less points then when you drop some points change it to 1% milk and finally skimmed. If you like chocolate you can have some and cut it down slowly as you lose weight and thus lose points.

A wise person said to me once use and enjoy your points because they soon disappear!! I've already lost one point
