    Try small portions. Read labels. Decide how much you want the sweet and budget calories for it. I keep wrapped mini chocolates in my desk at work and dole them out slowly...also girl scout cookies. One (or half) a serving at a time. Friend me if you like. I'm in a similar place...just no cigs. ☺

    Losing weight at 45 is the same as at any age - eat less calories than we burn leads to weight loss.
    If you have a sweet tooth, save some calories for something sweet every day - I reserve around 200 per day for chocolate. :smiley:

    All the best.

    (ps I only started trying to seriously lose weight at 42, got to goal weight a year later and I'm now approaching my 'big' birthday and still maintaining that loss - I always say, if I can, anyone can :smile: . )
