Hey! Need help on motivation

Hello,
I have 2 surgeries coming up but I need to lose weight. I fell down a hole last year stopping my nans dog getting humped and ruined my knee.
I need weight stories, recipes and whatever else to motivate me.
May sound stupid but I comfort eat😐 due to losing my job and my life style. I've gained weight from it.
I love baking so hit me with anything to stop the sweet craving

    I hear pickles are a good way to get rid of the sweet craving. I have a sweet tooth myself. So I try to fight it. If I can't, then I try to minimize the "cost". So Halo Top or Enlightened are good options (I'm an ice cream girl). Or just get something that is like less than 400 calories of the thing you crave. And then stop, and move on with the rest of your day and diet plan. If you can't let go of a craving, then try to make it a maintenance day and don't overindulge, but just do the best you can. You can do it!

    I like those 5 or 10 calorie Jello Gel cups.

    The “success stories” board is pretty inspiring. Good luck with the surgery, OP.
