I'm struggling with the same issues - and all of my cravings have been SODIUM SODIUM SODIUM. Trying really hard to limit my sodium count and increase protein/calcium/iron/fiber. Tracking here helps that a lot - or at least makes me really examine how I can consume 3000mg of sodium in a day. OOF.

My god, the fruit thing. I was SO PUMPED when I found out they were now free, and I practically binged on them. I'm very much a compulsive eater, and WW allowed me to continue to be that way. This is only my third day on MFP but the binging (even on fruit) has nearly entirely dropped off. It just keeps you so much more…

I gained fifty of those pounds back. My husband and I rejoined in January, but they have a new program. I think Points Plus is a good idea in theory, but there…
