I think I had a pretty good day today. I was getting a little freaked out with the calorie counting---I had packed a balanced lunch/snacks etc. up to my calorie limit, but then was extra-hungry and wound up eating some cookies. I realized it is probably healthier in hindsight to have a few extra calories of healthy stuff than to stick to an arbitrary limit, be hungry and pig out on cookies So I dug out my old Weight Watchers materials and am going to follow the core plan where you eat healthy stuff and don't need to count points I was extra-hungry again today and just went with it, making better choices

Breakfast: oatmeal with applesauce, cold glass of chocolate soy milk
Snack: raspberries
Lunch: lentil soup with handful of frozen butternut squash, fruit salad
Snack: trail mix, 2 clementines
Dinner: rice noodles with chickpeas and spinach, banana
Snack: measured serving of granola, hot glass of chocolate soy milk

To the person upthread who thought that I wasn't eating enough, does this look better? I do still have ten pounds to lose, but I am trying to do it in a healthy, balanced way
