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. |

I know how you feel. I eat a lot when I'm at home and the food is just there, so I snack. I've never been the type to sit down and eat a full meal. Poptarts aren't very good for you. I'd suggest cutting back on your sugar and eating better carbs like whole grains (not whole wheats). Since you don't eat meat, make sure that you get enough protien, do you eat a lot of beans and lentils? Fiber rich foods are also a good thing to add to your diet and can help you lose weight. Our bodies can't digest fiber, and it fills us up.
If you aren't too keen on the nutitional side of things, check out some sites. You're fairly thin (a lot smaller than I am) and I don't really think you need to lose weight; but if you want to be healthier, go for it. I like to use SparkPeople, because it's free. You can also track your food and pretty much any nutrient you'd like to, such as protien and vitamins. Plus, there are some really nice articles there. I've lost some weight since I joined ![]() |
