Welcome Nicolojo , you'll find lots of information and support to help you move forward to a healthier new you.

Are you looking to lose weight or just snack smarter.

I have to avoid snacking, I try to eat well at each meal and avoid the munchies/nibbles/fridge raiding.... I can just have one!

Generally my main meals are healthy. But I'm craving sugar at certain times of the day. If i can find a substitute that satisfies the missing chocs I will get there. Thanks for any help x

As a mum of three, I'm guessing that keeping the house chocolate-free isn't an option? I removed all the unhealthy foods from my cupboards when I started losing weight but then one of my friends gave me a late birthday present that included a box of 12 mini bars of Green and Blacks chocolate! They've been in my cupboard for about two months now - I've been eating healthily for around four months and I've only given into temptation twice and even then I only had one of the tiny bars each time. The chocolate cravings do stop when you concentrate on eating better.

Good luck, you can do it! 😀👍

Thank you. It's the 9pm sugar kick that I struggle with. I know I can do it as I got 2 stone off last year. I've got a cruise in March, so I have an incentive 🛳

[ArctoLindy in reply to Nicolojo]

I know exactly what you mean, I usually have an Alpen light bar around 9pm, it's my evening treat. A cruise sounds wonderful, where are you going?

[Nicolojo in reply to ArctoLindy]

Caribbean if there's anything left. Miami Bahamas Peurto Rico and St Marten. Fingers crossed x

Apple or celery with peanut butter (remember to weigh it)
