Heyy guys hope his app is being helpful to you and the weight is falling off...
I want to be healthy and lose a few pounds and tone the tum but eating healthy is hard and very much not appealing :(
Any advice for a sweet tooth convict?

    Eat the sweets, but less. I'm about to get into a chocolate bar. I do it often, and still lost 25 pounds.

    It takes a while to get used to not eating sweets. I have a chocolate obsession and it took me a long time to quit, but now when I eat overly sweet things I don't actually enjoy it, as I feel my heart racing and it is too rich on my stomach.

    Once you get used to not eating sugar it is a lot easier. Take it a day at a time, and just focus on fresh fruit for your sugar craving (mangos, bananas, berries). They are all yummy and much better for you that the empty calories in sugary treats.

    I had a craving for a Hersheys and a Coke. A cup of cocoa did the trick believe it or not.
