Gaining Weight for No Reason
This summer, I decided I was going to get serious about losing weight. I’d been kind of toying with it for a while. I started losing extremely slowly (not even sure why it was so slow - I was eating ~1100-1500 calories) and eventually reached a low weight of 101.8 (my highest was 112). That was about a month ago. Ever…

Sugar consumption
I'm a teenager eating around 2400 calories a day, but I'm a little concerned about my sugar intake. People say added sugars should be less than 10% of your daily calories which is 24 grams for me, but I'm eating more than that, usually around 20-40 grams per day.

Having cookies every night?
I'm trying to maintain my weight and typically eat around 1200-1700 calories a day and mostly healthy. I usually don't have "dessert" but I do allow myself a treat every now and then. However, my niece is selling Girl Scout cookies, and I want to buy a box of Do-si-Dos. I plan on (if I buy them) eating 3 every night since…
