Just read some of Sandy's really interesting thread about eating all your points in a day.
I'm just starting on my "proper" WW journey today, having messed about for the last couple of weeks counting points in the week and going mad at the weekend.
This week I'm going to go to a local class, having not been able to go because my car was off the road.
Today I have eaten the following:
B: Banana, Grapes & Yogurt - 3 points
L: Roll with chicken mayo, 1 point crisps, strawberries - 5.5 points
D: Quorn bolognese with pasta & parmesan - 4.5 points
S: WW cupcake & WW cheese bites - 2.5 points
That adds up to a total of 15.5 points, under the 22 points I'm allowed.
It's currently 8pm and I rarely eat anything after this time of night (except for alcohol induced munchies ). I know I should have more points but I am not hungry and really don't want to eat anything, so my question is whether I should I have something or not. I have spent so much of my life eating when not hungry, and for so many other reasons than hunger, so it feels odd to "force" myself to have something just because the plan says I have to. I know the reasons why I should (nutrition etc) but it's almost a triumph for me to say - no thanks - I've had enough.
I don't know if I'm explaining this very well but I think in some ways this defeats the object of trying to listen to your body. Mine is not needing anything more so why should I force it to have something to meet a "target".
Just wondering what everyone else does/thinks about this.
