and this time I've been at it for 9 weeks. I have a pretty set menu of food that I bring with me to work every day that are low point, and allow me to have more left over for dinner/snacks when I get home.
I usually have a light english muffin or one of those new carb ones that end up being only 1 pt with Smuckers sugar free preserves (boysenberry is delish!). For lunch I make a sandwich with either 2 pieces of WW bread (so much better than light bread to me, since it's much denser) or a Sahara carb pita (1 pt) with Hillshire Farms deli select meats (1 pt for 6 slices) with mustard and roasted peppers. I also have one of those Campbell's Soup at Hand soups (either classic tomato for 2 pts or one of the chicken noodle ones for 1 pt). That makes for either a 3 or 4 pt lunch.
When I get home, I now have the balance of my 24 pts for dinner and snacks. I always have a bag of pre peeled/cleaned baby carrots on my desk to snack on during the day. For dinner I might have a grilled chicken breast w/ veggies and salad. Since my dh puts some croutons, dried cranberries and slivered almonds in the salad, I usually give it 2 pts even though I use a no point dressing (Walden Farms Sugar Free, Carb Free...the balsamic vinigrette is great). I love the Jolly Time mini bags of kettle corn that are light (small bag is 1 pt) and I usually have either skinny cow saucers (3 pts) or WW sundae cones (2 pts) in the freezer.
I feel that since I'm eating a sandwich with soup for lunch and a basically regular dinner, I don't feel deprived. I don't mind a light breakfast (although I love eggs and omelets).
My concern about your food choices is that you seem to be eating a lot of eggs and a lot of bread (even if it's light). Seems like you should find some alternatives to that, since too many eggs just isn't good for you healthwise in the long run anyway. Have you thought of getting one of the new grilled chicken salads from McD's or BK? They are only about 4.5 pts and with the ff or light dressing choices, only add 1 more pt. I think they are very good and filling.
Good luck as you move down the road. So many people here are on WW that you're always going to have great advice.

I counted the tuna as 3 pts, 2 pcs. of lite bread 1, 2 t. lite mayo 1, relish 0, for a total of 5 pts. Very filling and pretty good!
