I was once an obese girl that crave for absolutely anything sweet. After joining numerous weight loss group, I finally decided to count my calorie. To lose weight, you need to eat less calorie than you can burn on each day to lose weight. And for that, I'm still counting my calorie till this day. Since this is a Google group, I've personally used an extension to search for food and it returns me the amount of calorie so that I can keep track daily.
Give it a try and start counting your calorie.
