Girl, you are NOT ALONE! We are all on this journey for a reason and results do not come over night, but they WILL come! I have a sugar addiction (I'm pretty sure) that I've had for years. It's like any drug and to overcome the food, sugar, carb dependency, it will take mind over matter and SUPPORT from MFP, family, and…

Is she tracking her sodium, sugar, and protein? What kinds of foods is she eating? If many are processed or there isn't enought real food ( fruits, green veggies, lean meats, low fat dairy), she could be doing more harm than good. She needs at least 64-80 oz of pure water daily.

For example, some Greek yogurts that may seem healthy are actually loaded with sugar! Some over 19 grams! Fage 0% is a great one low on sugar. 2. Drink 64-80 oz water daily. 3. Track what you're…

Cutting out all processed food is the hardest part for me. I cook healthy meals for my family ( lean meats, fresh vegetables, nothing fried), but my downfall is junk food...specifically processed sugary foods. If I'm in a rush or just bored, I tend to grab sweets if they are in my house. I've tried not buying that cr@p,…
