So the way weight watchers works is that based on some formula that takes height, weight, age, and sex into consideration they calculate the number of points you can eat in a day. I think the highest points possible are something like 70 or 71, that being for someone who is extremely, morbidly obese. The lowest points is 26, they do not go below that number. When I started I was at 41. As my weight has lowered so to have my points. As of Sunday I can only eat 31 points. Usually this is how the points go down, one point at a time. But, I find losing points is always a bit of a sad occasion. One point less in total points plus is one point less that I can eat. Its not too bad, because its easy to adjust to simply lowering what you eat by one point, but it is also the thought that I cannot eat as much as before. So in honor of that here are a list of 1 point foods that I enjoy that I can still eat but not if I have already been through my 31 points.
1 lite string cheese
1 laughing cow cheese wedge
1 babybel cheese (are you noticing a pattern?)
1 serving of Newman Own lite dressings (Best light dressing around)
2/3 cup of fat free milk (its the amount I use for my oatmeal in the morning)
1 tbs of Lite butter spread
1 slice of Weight Watchers bread
These may not be the most stimulating things but they make up little staples of my diet, little snacks that get me through my day. A point is worth a lot. Ah the value of a point... But in the grand scheme of things I joined weight watchers to lose...weight, and apparently points.
