Points Management

[Guest guest]

Hi, all:

I hesitate to write about this subject given the current tone of the

list, but I need to turn to you guys for some advice. I recognize

this is a nice problem to have, but it's still a problem.

I am having a helluva time managing my flex points. I've been doing

this program since Feb. 1, and I am still SO afraid to go over my

points that the first few days after my weigh in, I won't use any

FP's (I weigh in on Tuesday). Then, on Friday, I may loosen up a

*little.* Saturday I can use a few more. Then it turns out that come

Sunday or Monday I usually have well over 20 FP's left. I end up

trying to eat a lot on those day, trying to use up some of my points

before I lose them. I know that I need to eat in order to lose

weight, and I am SO not into starving myself. I'm also not into

eating junk food just to use points. I make healthy choices.

I'm currently allowed 30 points a day (which I think is a lot). I

also try to exercise just about every day, usually earning at least 3

AP's. So, right now I have a lot of points to eat, and I recognize I

may not have this problem as I lose weight.

I need input from other on how they manage their flex points. Also, I

need to learn to trust myself and not be so AFRAID to use these in

the beginning of the week. Really, I think I border on nutty about

this. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
