Janet,
I use WW too - and I'm a very picky eater also. I have to search for things that satisfy me, that are within the WW point system. I know I eat lots of things that others might frown on, but it works for me.

I buy the Nature's Own Light bread. It is 80 calories and 4 grams of fiber for 2 slices, thus it is only one WW point. I like scrambled egg sandwiches - so 2 slices of bread, one egg and a bit of light mayo is only about 3.5 points. Thus, if I am hungry, then I will have 2 sandwiches for 7 points. That fills me up.

Experiment with the Lean Cuisine/Smart Ones/Lean Gormet/etc meals. I eat one everyday for lunch at work. I've found about 5-6 of them that I like and I rotate them.

Sometimes I have one for dinner too. I don't like vegetables much either - if I eat too many of them, then I feel deprived and I want to eat the house.

I have to have salty snacks, so I eat the Light potato chips (not the baked ones). I can have one serving for 1 point. So, sometimes I will have a ham sandwich, 2 slices of bread = 1 point, ham = 1 point, mustard = 0 point, and then an ounce of light potato chips. Again, sometimes, I have 2 sandwichs.

I pop the 100 calorie popcorn packs = 1 point. I spray with Pam and sprinkle with my favorite salty/spices (red pepper, etc) and bake on 275 for 20 mins. YUM!

I also eat Fat Free Saltine crackers. You can eat 7 of them for one point. So, I might have vegetable soup with 7 crackers.

You just have to experiment with foods that you like that fit in the WW point system. Yes, I do get hungry sometimes and I usually need a snack. I find somthing like the Reeses Snack Bars (I can only get them at Walgreens pharmacies - go figure) that is sweet/salty satisfies me better. They are 110 calories = 2 points, but worth it!!! Sometimes at work, I pop a 100 calorie bag of popcorn, and that works!

You can't just eat vegies/fruits, if they don't satisfy you. I know many people would not like my suggestions, at all - but they work for me! And you have to find what works for you!

It is so very hard!! Like I said on another thread, I've been trying to lose ten pounds all summer!!!
