Is This Like my Dr said - Worthless Exercise!?
I mentioned to my doctor that I was walking to work (it is a 12 minute walk for me) and back for exercise.

I Want to STOP Craving Foods I Shouldn't Eat!
Is there ANY way to STOP craving those foods I know I shouldn't eat in favor of those that I know are better for me?
