Apparently there's an app for MyFitnessPal that I need to figure out. Since I don't use it on my computer. I suck at tracking things personally - which may or may not be work related. That was my problem with Weight Watchers...I lacked the discipline to track things.

Also have decided that I'm addicted to sweets...as in york peppermint patties, chocolate, ice cream, and wine. Must stop. It's not good for me. Broke my promise to myself today and bought chocolate (RitterSport coconut/milk chocolate bar), Talenti's chocolate and Caribbean Coconut Gelato Bars, wine and Jenni's Chamoile ice creame. Ate a quarter of the chocolate, one Talenti Bar, and two glasses of wine. I never going to lose weight at this rate.

Frustration and depression lead to eating/craving the wrong things and making the whole thing even worse.

Plus increased irritability. Sugar is indeed the root of all evil. Unfortunately it's also more addictive than crack. Not that I would know...never done crack. Have enough issues with being wired.

I have found that since I got my juicer and have been using it regularly I've been able to cut back on Coke and other sweets. I think there's enough sugar in the juice - even using Granny Smith apples and upping the veg to fruit ratio - that it satisfies the craving. I'm not kidding myself that it's less sugar but it's certainly a healthier sugar.

Except aren't you are reducing the fiber - apples are a great source of fiber, and increasing the sugar content...by juicing?

That said, it's definitely healthier than eating york peppermint patties or drinking a glass of wine.

It's not a meal replacement, it's a snack replacement!
