Where do I start?

How do you stop cravings? Bad eating etc. I’m such a yo yo dieter, can anyone relate 😬🥰

Hi DollyI am the same, I've done ww and this app before. I've decided to think of one day at a time...we can do it and we can just do one day at a time. Just say today I will use the calorie app, stick to it....you can do it....good luck for today!

What do you crave ? Evenings are the worst for me so if I crave something sweet then I sip low cal hot choc drink or have a long bath - there are some fantastic bath bombs in the sales or peel an orange - takes time . If you are trying to reduce weight via calories then juggle to allow a decent bowl of mixed fruit salad . I buy frozen berries as it just adds a nice touch to the norm of apple , orange , banana etc . If you like savoury then almonds - say max 20 take time to digest and eat . Don't see this as a punishment . I have found keeping busy helps so seek out a class to go to - difficult with Covid but my friend has just started learning French and the class will get together eventually . Don't shop on a empty stomach either and keep to a list . You can only eat what you buy. I am 61 and I love Zumba . You Tube is great . Spend half or an hour doing 'Irinas classes and you will feel you have achieved something .

Focused1's idea of an orange is a great one. I also have 2 brazils, 4-6 walnut halves with one piece of dark chocolate and it seems to hit the spot. I sympathise as I have terrible cravings and cannot have stuff in the house!
