Not a bad start, overall.
At 303 lbs, you get 62 daily points in Weight Watchers. Which seems like an awful lot. And, in fact, by eating a little smarter than I otherwise would've, I did alright, but for getting a soda and popcorn at a movie last night. Without those, I would've come in at 61 points for the day, without really reducing all that much of quantity of what I ate, but changing the nature of what I ate. What does 61 points get you:
Egg McMuffin
Fruit Smoothie
Hummus with pita
Fried egg sandwich with cheese
Black beans with salsa and broccoli
Peanut butter and jelly sandwich
16 oz of fat free milk with Hershey's syrup
Oh, and 32 oz of Dr Pepper during the day. As I said earlier, if I can successfully cut out the soda, that will really give me options to stay with the plan and stay satiated. Even with the popcorn and movie soda, I ended up using 7 of the weekly points you're allotted. So, I think a positive first day, especially since I didn't end the day so hungry that I wanted to quit.
We'll see how today goes.
Go you! I agree with you, though, about the points values seeming SO large - to me, that was the hardest part. I could eat healthy, till I was full, and still have 20 points left, or I could eat horribly and come in right where I was supposed to be. Kudos for you for not falling into that trap.
