First off, congrats on 17 days! I'm 7/12 months in and have lost over 20 pounds. I have been eating healthier in general, but a LOT of it was simply not drinking. Give it time and it will happen!!!! You may develop a sweet tooth ( I know I did!) and honestly, chocolate here and there helped pass cravings for me, so don't deprive yourself of that if it'll help. Having fruit in the house also helped me a lot
Keep going, you've got this!
