Today is my first day in starting to lose weight. Currently I weigh more than I did while I was pregnant. I want so badly to get back into shape! Does anyone have a trick to stop the cravings for junk food snd pop?

    I have the same problem!! I have learned that I still need to snack. Just working toward HEALTHIER snacks. Instead of Ice Cream all the time, I turn to Sugar Free Pudding, made with Skim milk...I try Yogurt, Peanuts/Nuts, and sometimes I indulge a little bit with an Oatmeal Cream Pie. But, the more Water I drink, the less I am likely to FEEL hungry.

    SO, STILL SNACK...if you try not to, you will go crazy and NOT do anything. But, change your snacks to more healthier snacks. i.e. Sugar Free/Fat free pudding, Yogurt, nuts, fruits, & veggies.

    GOOD LUCK!!!!

    The first week is HARD! When you get a craving, drink water or get in some exercise. Eventually you will replace the cravings with good habits! It also helped me to journal the reasons I was wanting to eat. Are you actually hungry or looking for something to fill a feeling or void? When you look at that you are able to find the hard times of your day, or the feelings that coincide with cravings.
