How to Stop Eating Junk Food

I am on a mission to train my brain how to stop eating junk food!

The first day of Spring is also reality that I am not in shape for the adorable looks I am swooning over. I am about 15 lbs heavier than my goal weight. Those leggings and loose tops where doing wonders during the winter months but for Spring not so much. My gym card membership is collecting dust, I just finished the last of those 5 boxes of thin mints from those sweet brownies at my WalMart, those McDonalds trips with the little ones ended with a large coke and fries every time.

Bottom line the junk food cravings have really gotten the best of me these past few months.

My mission is to train myself how to stop eating junk food!
