Does anyone else notice they crave more sugar when they are stressed? Any tips or tricks for fighting this healthy eating killer.

    Probably the same tips as working on any other habit - a good plan and lots of practice. Have a plan for what you can do/reach for when the craving hits i.e. go for a walk, make a cup of tea, chug a glass of water. Then practice it when you don't feel so stressed.

    Also, accept that you're human and not perfect.

    I totally feel your pain. My weakness is sugar. I want donuts, cokes, anything sweet....I also can sugar binge around my cycle....I've done pretty well the last few days. My bad cholesterol is high and I am really trying to get that under control :(
