How to quit sugar?
I recently have become a total sugar addict: ice cream, Halloween candy, chocolate, pudding- pretty much anything I can find, I'll eat. I have experimented by trying to cut back on sugar, but this has just led to bingeing and even more sugar. therefore, i have made the decision to attempt to completely cut out most sugars…

running inside?
I have started the C25k program a couple of times, only to chicken out at about week 5.

We have some nice paths by our house, but, in short, my parents…

Meditation?
I'm wondering if anyone on here uses meditation as a way to relax, reduce stress, and help with their weight loss journey. I don't know very much about meditation, but I feel like its worth a try, because i think that most of my overeating problems come from anxiety. If anyone has used meditation before, do you have a…
