Over-eating?, Helpp? Options

[xCutUpAngelxxx]

Okay, I'm kind of trying to lose some weight, but a lot of times, I feel like I eat too much.It's not like when I eat a meal, I eat until I feel like I'm going to be sick or anything like that; I try to eat small portions.However, I tend to snack a lot during the day instead of eating real meals.Like, I'll eat a Poptart for breakfast, skip lunch, but then eat a few snacks in between breakfast & dinner.
There are some days where I feel like I eat wayy too much because of it.But, I feel like if I were to eat three meals, I'd still end up eating a lot of snacks in between anyways, and that would just make it worse.

I try to eat healthy.I'm a vegetarian and the only snack-type food we really have in my house are animal crackers && pretzels (and chocolate, but I try not to eat a lot of it).

Basically, my problem is I feel like I eat too much, but I want to lose weight.I feel like I have pretty much no self-control. :/

Sorry that this is kind of long.

Under-eating results in muscle catabolism, which will cause you to store more body fat as a defense mechanism. You're in an easier situation by over-eating slightly. And you should be eating at least five small meals a day to maintain your metabolism.

The key is to eat healthier foods that have a low caloric density. Compare drinking a glass of milk to an equal portion (in calories) of lean meat. Liquid calories are much more condensed, and, therefore, less fulfilling for the same amount. If you want to cut down on the amount you eat, emphasize foods that are more fulfilling in fewer calories. A Pop-Tart for breakfast doesn't fit that bill.
