Changes to Weight Watchers

What surprises me most about the much-hyped “changes” to the Weight Watcher’s program is that I can suddenly eat 5 more points daily than I could when I was following the program before. I went from 33-35 points to 40 points (which must be well, well over 2000 calories) daily, and that’s without fudging my daily activity level (sedentary) or my gender (okay, okay).1
I almost feel like I’m cheating. I’ve always panicked at the idea of eating only 19, 20, or 21 points, as some people do when they approach their ideal weights. Fortunately, due to my height, if I were to approach my ideal weight I would still be eating 26-28 points daily. That feels reasonable.
- Of course, I lose 1 of those points for every 10 pounds gone (and that’s a faster reduction than previously, I think) but still. 40 points. Dude. [↩]
