I really want to lose weight, but chocolate holds me back
I exercise every day, but I just can't eat healthy. How to stop eating so much sugar? Thanks

Learn how to control it. It is not easy, but can be done.
I have been on MFP for 3-1/2 years. For the first two months, I cut out all sweets. EVERYTHING. Then, I read a topic on here that said you can have it, basically as with all food, in moderation and work it into your calories for the day. Ever since then, I have 1 Dove dark chocolate caramel with sea salt (or a similar sized piece of chocolate, but these are my favorites) as the last thing I eat every day as a reward to myself for staying within my calorie budget for the day. It works for me. I lost over 1/2 of my body weight and have been on maintenance for almost 2 years. Key for me is allowing myself to have foods/treats I really love and working them in to my daily calories.0 -
Can you eat a portion of chocolate and be done with it, or is it EAT ALL THE CHOCOLATES? I love chocolate and I eat it, just not as much as I want and I work it into my calorie goal.0

You have to learn portion control. It's a hard thing though it can be done. Don't keep chocolate in the house. If you want it, make yourself work to get it.0
