    I feel you! I’m an office worker on the maternity floor at the hospital and patients are always bringing us treats to celebrate and thank us. It’s always a struggle and now that I myself is a parent I find that it’s getting harder to avoid because I’m always thinking “I do so much, I’ve earned this treat” once I give in... I go nuts! I fall for it every time!

    I've been having big breakfasts, a small lunch, and a snack or two before dinner. I've been staying full until dinner. What do you usually have for breakfast? I've also switched from soda to diet soda, but still trying to drink more water. For snacks, I have some greek yogurt with some kind of berries, peanut butter, protein bars.

    Thanks so much! It's sunday night and I'm dry roasting some chickpeas - fingers crossed it makes a difference

    If you think of it, come back & let us know how it's going, OK? :)

    It’s ok to feel hungry. You need to break the cravings and the addiction to sugar. You will feel hungry the first couple days while your body gets used to meals that are the right portion and not constantly being full of snacks. You will not starve. You just need to train yourself into realizing it’s ok not to feel full all the time

    And a new hobby to keep your mouth busy is good too. Most people snack because they’re bored or it’s a habit or the taste. Chewing gum or something instead of eating may help. And carbonated seltzer for snack feeling instead of plain water is nice
