Just wanted to share our story here. My girlfriend has been going through a stressful period because of some personal stuff related to her studies and family. I really wanted to find a way to help her (especially for moments when I'm not around to support her).

Since I have a software development background, I decided to build a simple way for her to check in with herself each day.

Long story short and what began as a personal project for someone I care about slowly grew into something that others could use too. She also guided me through the process, especially with the design, themes, and mascots. So it ended up having more of a cozy and female-oriented feel.

Anyway, if you have been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or just want a better sense of how your days are going, you might find it helpful. If you give it a try, please share your thoughts.

The app is called Mood Tracker - Luni and can be found on the app store. There are also other similar apps so feel free to choose what suits you best. Take care of yourself 🙂

Just wanted to share my journey because maybe it will help someone else who has struggled with the same thing.

I’ve been a bit overweight since my late teenage years. I don’t really have other bad habits like smoking or drinking, but food has always been something I used for comfort. When I felt stressed, tired, bored, or low, I would usually reach for something sweet.

Sometimes it got out of hand, especially with desserts, soda, chocolate, pastries, and other sugary stuff. Sugar would give me a quick mood boost, especially in the morning or when I felt drained, but then I would crash later and feel even worse. Needless to say, it also wasn’t helping my weight. I gained quite a bit over the last four years.

I tried going cold turkey, replacing sweets with fruit, not keeping snacks at home, setting “cheat days,” drinking more water, making strict meal plans, and just relying on willpower. Some of those things helped for a few days or even a couple weeks, but I always ended up slipping back into the same pattern.

What finally helped me was treating it more like a habit I needed to track, not just a “willpower” problem. I read somewhere that tracking cravings and progress can make it easier to stay consistent, so I searched the App Store for apps that help with quitting sugar. The one I used is called Quit Sugar - SugarLog, but any app or system that helps you track your progress could work, even a physical journal should do.

I started seeing that I usually wanted sugar at specific times, like after lunch, late at night, or when I was stressed. Once I noticed those patterns, it became easier to prepare for them instead of reacting automatically.

It took me about two months to feel like I had really broken the habit. The first couple of weeks were the hardest. But after a while, the cravings became weaker, and I stopped thinking about sugar all the time
