Weekly 49... to use or not to use ??

I love my 49 weekly points, the extra freedom weight watchers offers to the already liveable plan.  I find having them for a few extra a day, or like I did last week, using them for Mother's day so i could relax for the day and took the day off.  And really love having them when the unexpected takeaway takes place and it can be guilt free.  Ah the joy of guilt free food .......

But, me being me, I like to challenge myself so this week I am trying my best to not use my weekly points through the week, but because I believe they are there to use, I will have them after weigh in on wednesday night.  Well maybe not all 49 in one go but treat myself to a takeaway or a big bag of peanut m&m's mmmm.

I follow many other weight watcher's on facebook and there seems to be a real mix of feelings towards the weekly points and whether they help your weight loss or not.  I appreciate others may find they slow down their losses but i feel like I have a comfort zone knowing they are there if i need them.. 

Another reason I have decided to try and stick to only daily points this week is because I recalculated my weekly points allowance and realised i had gone down a point.  This got me thinking to how I would manage on what i eat now when i get closer to goal and only have the minimum 26pp a day.  I may then need the weekly ones each day but until then I am trying to find lower pointed snacks or alternatives to what I like. 

I am on day 2 of sticking to my daily points and pleased to say have managed ok, little peckish tonight but will get through it.  Weekends are a tester so i will see how I get on. 

Hopefully I will report back next week after Weigh In with another loss.
