Hey willow~Nice to meet you.

A trick I learned quick On Sweets~get lots of SUGAR FREE~There low in calories~Sugar free pudding & jello A Favorite for me


Also yogurt is great for the sweet tooth

Stress~Exercise helps with stress or even browsing this site when under stress!!!


Overeating~The more your body gets use to eating less the more your stomach will shrink And you will start to fill & be fuller on less amounts

GOODLUCK

Welcome Willow!

I'm a big (in more ways than one..) sweet eater myself. New here, too, but so far it seems like the right place to get the support and information to help me along the way.

Best of luck to you!

Hey Willow...I had a huge problem with sweets too and had to go cold turkey with them for several months...it gets a lot easier if you will strictly stick to plan for a week or two--you will find they don't tempt you as usual...all the best to you and I am glad you are here..

thanks you all!
just got home from my first session with my personal trainer. more about it in my blog...soon...first i need to get some work done.

and - yes, willow is my nickname.

re sweets - i am trying to eat more natural sweets like fruit and even veggies to beat the craving for white sugar. hopefully replacing refined carbs with whole wheat will help as well. we'll see.
