Hi all,

Posting here for traffic as I'm really finding this difficult. I really want to stop eating sugary snacks as I know its not good for me and I feel rubbish afterwards but I just can't. I have a big event in a few weeks that I want to look and feel my best for (both physically and mentally) but even this isn't helping.

I would say I eat a pretty good diet overall, I usually have 2-4 portions of fruit and minimum 1 or 2 veggies (but usually more), but I'm just in a bad habit with mid afternoon chocolate and a sweet treat after dinner. If anyone has any tips or tricks let me know!

Whole Almonds, sweet, filling and low calories!

First step - don’t have them in the house and don’t go out to buy them.

Step - find a healthier replacement that takes the edge of the cravings. Yoghurt and honey, low cal hot chocolate, sweet rice cakes, fruit platter etc
