My go to snack at work is fruit, yogurt, and nuts (I switch them up, so I don't get bored). Occasionally, a piece of dark chocolate will slip into my snacks and perk up my day.

I found a fitness goal that I really cared about, outside of losing weight. For me, I really love running - am interested in becoming a better runner, and running started to propel my other fitness decisions forward. Healthy eating became easier as a result.

Pasta tastes good. Cookies and cake taste good. Alcohol tastes good. We all know that. If you're trying to make changes in your diet, it's going to be difficult.
