I'm with you there!  Sometimes it's just worth the points, but hardly ever.
When it comes to cakes and similar items I do fine with a few bites.  It
will be a while before I eat any bread again only because I don't eat it
often.  The worst part of the dinner last night was the 8 points for just
the puff pastry.

Today we golfed 18 holes, walking and pulling clubs (approx 12 AP's).
Breakfast was normal but we went out to lunch.  I had a lean roast beef
sandwich minus the bread and chips.  Supper tonight is shrimp & broccoli.
All back to normal.

I'm pretty sure when we go to the cajun restaurant for dinner the meal is
even higher than 25 points.  I have their cookbook and am going to attempt
some recipe renovations this week.

And that is PRECISELY why fat people remain fat.  They continue to lust
after sweets instead of changing their way of thinking so they won't even
CONSIDER eating sweets.

"Worth every point"?  That means points are worthless.  Which in fact they
are.

Forget the points, and just eat properly.  You KNOW how to do that.  You
don't need to pay WW to help you cheat a little here, a little there ...

Yeah, pie crust is a killer plus pot pies usually have some kind of cream
soup base inside.

totally agree, it is about life, Lee
 Great choices! You could have had that many points easily at like McDonalds too, and really felt bad about it. I have a meal once in a blue moon at a place that has the most wonderful onion rings. I do not consider onion rings to even be food they are so nutritionally disgusting, however they are also a favorite of mine. I have some about once a year, always at the place that does the very best onion ring that I have ever eaten. I estimate that One of these monsters has about 15 points. The times I have eaten the meal I get at that restaurant (usually including two of the onion rings), it has never caused me to gain weight. I am very careful about planning the rest of that entire week.
 
 My other big indulgence is a warm italian chocolate cake at another restaurant I go to. I have had that two or three times in the past 5 years and not gained from it either. It is just Not About the Food folks.

   I'm sure that I've had restaurant meals that were more points than this but
   I actually sat down to estimate this one.  We went to a really nice place in
   the area that does pretty high end stuff (quality) and in preparation I
   skipped breakfast (slept through it actually), had a light lunch (fruit,
   skim milk, and cereal) and some 0 point veggies this afternoon plus I worked
   out at the gym for an hour.  Surprisingly I wasn't really ravenous when we
   got to dinner.

   My daily allowance is 22, the meal was 24.5 (ish).  Thank goodness we didn't
   do appetizers or dessert!  The killer was bread. I don't eat restaurant
   bread except once in a while when it's baked on the premises and this place
   specialized in artisan breads.  So we had a great rye bread and a whole
   grain french bread.  They also had some yummy garlic flavored grapeseed oil
   for dipping which I meted out very cautiously using my spoon to approximate.
   The salad came with a fat free sundried tomato & vidalia onion dressing and
   no cheese or crunchy fat bits.  The entree was chicken breast with spinach
   and goat cheese en croute - it's the croute part that's a major killer :)
   It was served with steamed asparagus and steamed red potato.

   DH was stunned when I told him the point total but it wasn't surprising to
   me at all.  I'm sure it was still less than his fish fry.
