I've been trying to lose about 100lbs for a few years now. Got down 40 then became pregnant and gained 30lbs back. I'm struggling to lose weight now because of my inability to stop eating sugary foods. I'm breastfeeding (2 months postpartum) and should be losing weight more easily because of it but also they say not to limit food intake or it could affect milk supply so im trying to stay at around 2000 calories a day, before I was at about 1700-1800 daily plus more regular and rigorous exercise. The reason I came on here is to seek advice/tips on managing these sugar cravings and maybe inspiration from others who've overcome it. My meals are pretty good, healthy and balanced but since I'm a mom I usually have treats in the house for my kids and find myself unable to just have one or two. It's especially hard at night and when I have my coffee. It's like a habit to have a cookie or treat with my coffee and if i don't have it I can't stop thinking about how much better It would've been/when I can have a treat. Being home more now because of lockdown has made it harder, I used to go out a lot while losing weight in the past which helped me not give in to cravings. I try finding healthy alternatives or making my own but I can never limit myself to just one or two and end up going way over my calories just from a few cookies at night. Before bed I always promise myself I'll do better tomorrow and just resist it but I ALWAYS give in. I'm glad I'm not gaining weight but I've been at a standstill. I'm also losing weight for health reasons and mobility, not just to look good so I need to figure this out to be able to gain my health back. Any tips or advice is greatly appreciated!!
