I do the same thing as far as estimating and not tracking!!!
Maybe you should rethink your snacks? Maybe some 1 or zero points snacks would be better? Or more fruits and veggies at lunch? I'm not sure what your typical day really "looks like" but I try and just each half of my points on breakfast+morning snack+lunch. This usually means I have to have a light breakfast or a light lunch, but I prefer to have a substantial dinner so it is ok. I really like my coffee/latte in the morning for breakfast because the warmth seems to fill me up so I don't need such a huge breakfast (like I've always had). I also try to do little things with it like toast (zero for one slice), 1/2 cup of fruit (usually zero) and maybe a couple pieces of ham cooked in a skillet (1)...that way I feel like I've had a big breakfast, when really I've only had a variety of little things. I think variety is usually key for me at a meal: if I get to have several different things in small portions I get full quickly. I like to do the same when I take my lunch so I don't feel so deprived (zero point soup, 3 point sandwich, 0-1 point salad/veggie, 1 point cheese stick, 1 point fruit=5-6 points for a really "big" lunch).

27/22 (I had a recruiting event and had to eat at Joseppi's so I'm just guessing.)

I have been so hungry in the mornings. I'm trying to eat more mini meals instead of eating a huge dinner. I'm hoping to train my body to accept this new lifestyle, haha.

Lunch: chicken and rice casserole (5), ww ice cream (2)=11/20
Snack: cereal and milk (3)=14/20
Dinner: pita pizza (5)=19/20
Snack: m&m's (5?) =24/20 :(

I think I am addicted to dessert/sugar/carbs. After lunch, all I could think about was eating something sweet, so I had an ice cream bar even though I was really full...now I feel gross and regret it! I just hate that feeling of guilt and "why did I eat that when I wasn't even hungry?"

I really need to go grocery shopping. That's on the to-do list for tomorrow....
I need ideas! It's like I forget about things I used to eat.

Grocery List/Meal ideas:

• oatmeal and yogurt w/ apple pie spice (3?)
  
• progresso soup + salad + sandwich (3)
  
• mozzarella and tomatoes (4)
  
• loaded baked potato (5)
• boiled egg (2)
• baked BBQ chicken (3)
• steamed veggies +EVOO+seasoning (1 or 2)
• low fat crescent rolls + low fat hotdogs= pigs in a blanket
  
• fiber-one chicken strips (2)
• apple with whipped PB (3) or yogurt (2)
• granola, yogurt and strawberries (3)

Shouldn't have eaten the m&m's...
