in Introduce Yourself
Hey all, I'm back on here and I need help BAD! I would love to make friends on here while losing weight and any advice on how to get over a carb/sugar addiction would be pretty darn awesome. I'm a college student who is graduating at the end of this year and I'm tired of being "fluffy." I was thinking of joining the Police Academy but my weight is keeping me away from that goal and many others I want to reach for. Hope all is well and thanks for reading!

    Hi Kelly - I hear you on the sugar addiction this has been a chronic issue for me for years. I find fruit can be great for the sweet tooth, and protein and fiber are a great combination. Things like plain greek yogurt with fruit and nuts, don't let yourself starve (at least for me when I am starving I feel like I'll eat anything), and drink lots of water.

    Also things like getting enough sleep, and trying to keep stress at bay can really help. Caffeine is also a killer for me - I end up feeling super hungry.

    I wish you luck with your goals! Feel free to send me an add.

    I say if you want the Police Academy, go for it!

    Tracking everything here helped me. Makes me think before I eat. Is it worth the calories. Plus I started walking which after I kept doing that turned into jogging which has turned into running. I am in better shape at 40 than I was at 20. Stay positive and work towards your goal daily. Good Luck
