Sweets equals fruits

Somebody asked me, what are the best diet pills out there? Well, how would I know? I've only tried one before. It was after I gave birth and was desparate to lose the extra pounds. It never worked for me and I never tried one again. I have to admit though that I am constantly tempted to try one pill in particular. But I am scared. So instead of trying to take pills to lose weight, I am doing the traditional way of losing weight. Exercise and food control. It's not easy. I don't think it's going to get easier too. Everyday is a struggle. Some days I succumb to food temptation. But I never beat myself up. I try to get back the next day. Today, I craved for something sweet. So instead of denying myself the pleasure of one doughnut, I gave in and ate one. But I stopped at one doughnut. I know that more than one is not healthy anymore. I think conscious eating is very important. And if I still want more sweets, I eat fruits instead. Do you know that a cup of papaya only contains 55 calories? It's very healthy, filling and yet low in calorie. Speaking of which, I need to slice some papayas right now. =)
