The morality of food?

nwhikerOMG. This is hilarious. I went to LoseIt where I have an account, tracked pretty much everything I ate yesterday, and went to their insights to get all the nutritional breakdowns.
According to LoseIt, I ate a total of about 2000 calories.
I then went to WW to figure out how many points that was: 68. AKA as much food as one should eat, if one has the number of points I do, in about 3 days.
Because it was Thanksgiving Food, a reasonable 2000 calories turned into 68 points. WW and their food morality is sometimes so outrageous it's funny.
Same thing on Wednesday: 900 calories, pretty much all carbs (I wasn't really hungry for anything beyond bread and graham crackers after breakfast), 25 points, which is more than my daily allowance.
Going by pure number of calories, I had an ok week (my WW weeks are Friday to Friday). According to points, I went over my budget for the freaking WEEK. Granted, only over by one point, but that includes all the weekly points, rollover points, and the exercise points I can't seem to stop them from adding to my available totals.
And ooops, I just realized I forgot to count the dinner rolls (2) that I ate. Oh well. It's all an approximation anyhow, I just calculated as well as I could.
Obviously, because 2000 calories in one day is much more than my usual 1200, and it wasn't the kind of calories I usually eat, I gained a pound overnight. I mean, I'll take it, it's better than it could be, but man the punishment they inflict on you for daring to eat cranberry sauce and butter on your mashed potatoes is epic, LOL.
FTR, dinner was great, not my best, but certainly good. I skipped dessert because I wasn't hungry and of course I'm kicking myself now because I could have folded those points into last week's BAD GIRL YOU ATE SUGAR AND YOU ARE OVER POINTS FOR THE WEEK and now they'd impact this week. So I'll have a bite of chocolate tart and count it but not more.
