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.

Ooh, i like what everyone has mentioned.

also, to curve cravings (i love brushing my teeth as well!), try popping in a mint or something low-calorie that you can keep in your mouth for a while.

and DO NOT skip meals!!! trust me, it does not help at all in the long run when trying to lose weight. like everyone has mentioned, a pop-tart is not a good choice for breakfast. try some oatmeal or a bowl of cereal, made with whole grain.

as far as snacks go, there are SO many healthy options! animal crackers can be high in sugar with little dietary fiber (which means it won't fill you up very easily) and pretzels have lots of salt.
this is my absolute favorite site that gives me good food choices :
