    Hi Donna, aka @deepwoodslady! I got my scale from Amazon here:

    I was 157.0 yesterday morning, so this is a big overnight drop! My lowest was 154.4 last Saturday, so I've been rollercoastering a lot this week. I drank sooo much water yesterday, so this is probably a result of flushing things out. I will aim to drink at least 2.5 litres of water every day for the next week to see what difference it makes.

    I can’t stop my sugar cravings at night and I can’t sleep early due to child care. Any advice would be great 😔

    Apples have sugar. Try eating an apple. Their sugar comes with nutrients and fiber. They can even fill you up. Then wait 15 minutes and brush your teeth. Then you can stare right back at those sugar cravings and say, "Hey; you have no power over me because I'm better than that."

    If fruit doesn't scratch that sugar itch for you, I recommend dark chocolate covered almonds. If you stick to the portion size, you get a sweet treat with a little added protein. Another option I find helpful is a cup of hot tea, something calming/decaffeinated such as chamomile, with a teaspoon of honey to sweeten it. Added bonus of helping with hydration and sleep. Good luck! Brushing your teeth to cue yourself that your done eating for the night is great advice also!!
