I tried Weight Watchers recently, and it was very eye opening. They had "points" for everything so you had to stay within your limit of points for the day based on your age, activity level, and weight. It made it a lot more obvious that I didn't want to spend 9 of my 32 points for the day on a tiny wedge of chocolate cake or 13 points on a French Dip from Arby's (not to mention 9 points for a small fry that I'd usually do). Unfortunately, they won't let you be a member during pregnancy. Must be some medical issue they don't want to get into, but I was doing well on that and really felt satisfied. They had zero point snacks that you could choose from if you wanted a snack. I always thought it sounded stupid, but it really was the most sense that I've made of portion control and food choice in my life. Good luck!
