Her last complaint about Weight Watchers was that they gave her too many points and it caused her to eat too much. She said she struggled trying to get all her points in for the day and she would end up eating a bunch at night. All the veggies were "free" so that caused her to have trouble getting her points in as well. But if she wasn't eating all of her points, she should be losing even more weight, right?

Nope, and that's what I thought at the beginning too. If you don't eat your daily points, it's kind of like "starving" yourself and your body just holds onto whatever you put into it. You should really eat your dailies AND some/all of your weeklies (some people eat them all and lose, some only eat a percentage of them and are still able to lose), you can even get Fit Points that are based on your exercise. You can either choose to use the Fit Points to eat more food, which isn't recommended when you are starting out, or you can just ignore them. Unused points don't roll over and, the more you lose, the less points you have each day/week. Fruits and veggies are considered 0 points for the most part.

I know I'm preaching to the choir here but, if your mental health is the reason that you are overweight, no weight loss program or surgery is going to help.
