I know sugar free gum helps me. I will also chug like a whole cup of water to instantly fill my tummy. And if I think I just want to snack cause Im bored, I will clean house or do laundry and play a...

It is so funny how when we are eating clean, sometimes we think we get cravings for the bad stuff. And when we give in, the bad stuff taste so good, that we eat a little more, and then the next day...
