Re: Could use a little encouragement .....

I love sugar, I love pastries and crave chocolate things. I have sometimes been known to eat my desert before my meal. So, I can't help you with the sugar thing, fruit just doesn't seem to do it for me. I could eat a ton of fruit and it's still not going to satisfy me when I want sugar. The only way I am able to maintain or lose weight is by exercising and watching calories. I play tennis usually around 4 times a week, sometimes more. This time of the year, it seems everyone gets lazy and doesn't want to play as much, so I've put on a few pounds. So now I am trying to keep calories below 1000 a day and trying to get on the courts more. I've also got a hurt foot that I've been stuggling with for a year and don't have the patience to just lay off of, so that makes it harder,so I know where you are coming from there. Chicken, chicken, chicken...stay away from burgers and eat lots of salads...that's what I do.....just snuck a Hersheys kiss and a few M&M's though...good luck..sherry
