Any achievement or change for the better should be recognized and celebrated (no matter how small it may seem). The fact is you have got to start somewhere and it sounds like you have come a long way. Keep going, don't give up! You got this!One snack that I love is veggies and hummus. And every now and then I treat myself to graham crackers and peanut butter. :)

Every little bit helps!!!! I'm the same as you I can bust a workout out no problem but put down that chocolate bar is near impossible. But now I eat protein packed breakfasts instead of toast, make my own lunches and dinners - which was not the case before - so we are definitely improving. Like you snacking is a problem for me. I'm trying the make every snack veggie or nut based at the moment and its helping. Just keep going!!!
