I am just getting started with my weight loss. It can be so hard sometimes, with all the junk and stuff that's in my house! Anyone have any suggestions that may help me? Thanks so much!

Reply from Heather, Age 17 - 01/31/04 - IP#: 24.71.223.xxx you could try putting all the junk food in the same place and reminding yourself it is off limits for the most part (you shouldnt deny all of your cravings all the time, having a cookie or some chips once in a while is ok, sometimes), try putting them all on the same shelf in the pantry, or even in a different cupboard. thats what I did before, and nobody even noticed that the stuff got moved.
