  • i know it! Don't get discouraged. I always have sweets every day...a strip of dark chocolate...but I have to limit it. BUT knwo you can lose weight eating sweets most days. I've been learning to GENTLY wean myself off of eating dessert everyday. I know though I am just a sweets person and will need to eat some most days!
