Oh and the sweets thing... that is my downfall too! I LOVE junkfood with tons of sugar. I learned to stock my house with junk food that was a bit healthier. Like no sugar added ice cream and nutrition bars instead of candy bars in chocolate flavors. GoLean makes a 'roll' bar that is sooooo good! I eat those instead of candybars, they are low in sugar and healthy for you and they do help you fill you up a bit too so its not empty calories. I also choose to not keep cake mixes, brownie mixes, cookies or cookie mixes in my house ever. However if I am in the mood for something like that, I will go out and buy it at that moment. Most of the time Im too lazy to go out and get the stuff so I don't end up making anything, which is a good thing. I also stock weight watchers fudgicles and things like that when I have a chocolate craving or ice cream craving too.
You can still eat sweets and lose weight, you just need to pick and chose the ones that are a bit healthier, thats all.
