Thanks for the help. I do drink more than enough water - that's never been a problem for me (I can easily down 4-5 glasses with an average dinner. Not to mention everything else I drink throughout the day. I've always liked my water), so that's why I didn't mention it. I don't even think about it.
The other comments I had were specific to the new WW core plan. It's just being introduced this week, and it's different than Points. We just got the info last night, so I'm sure I don't fully understand it yet, but basically you can eat whatever you want in whatever quantities you need to feel satisfied from a list of "core" foods, and then you have 35 points FOR THE WEEK to spend on any non-core food. Unfortunately, things like bread (even high-fiber bread), power bars, etc... aren't considered core foods, so you need to use your 35 weekly points on them if you want them. The core foods that are starchy, like potatos, cereal, and brown rice, are limited to once a day (total, not each). That was where my concern about grains comes in. For someone that likes their meats, it's great, because lean meats are considered core, but I just don't think it's for me.
And, no, you're not weird. I love to snack on tomatos - especially now that they're in season and fresh off the vines in my backyard. There are few things better than a salted, fresh-picked tomato. Again, though, the no-points snacks works for the flex plan, but with core, it opens it up to the freedom to snack on more "dangerous" things, which was why I thought it wouldn't work for me.
