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.

Well you know eating like that is actually bad for you. You shouldn't eat until you feel full. If you want to eat healthy, you've gotta eat vegetables, fruits, grains/wheat, beef, poultry, and fish. Try to eat small portions every 3 hours and try to eat 5-8 meals if possible.

Example of healthy food: Eggs, oatmeal, cereal, banana, apple, orange, salad, mushrooms, peanuts, rice (specially brown/yellow), beans, lean skirt steak, chicken breast, turkey breast, turkey/chicken sandwich, whole wheat bread, tuna, salmon, sword fish, breakfast bar etc..

Try to stay away from fried foods, fast food (mcdonalds, taco bell, burger king, etc..), sweet/sugar cereal, soda, pasta (you can have this once a week though), pizza, chinese food etc...

Make sure to drink plenty of water (at least one gallon of water a day). If you want something sweet to drink, drink gatorade/powerade.

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.

Poptart isn't too bad.. but it is considered unhealthy, it's too sweet. Never skip a meal, this is a bad habbit. You can eat a fruit or salad or even a granola bar for a meal.

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.

Technically speaking, 3 meals really isn't enough. That's why people tend to eat BIG meals three times a day because they think the more they eat the longer the energy will stay. Fact of the matter, you're supposed to eat small meals through out the day to stay fully energized.

You're a vegetarian by choice? Or do you just dislike the taste of meat and enjoy vegies more?... Vegetarians truly aren't healthy... no matter how much they try to convince people. Also... I thought vegetarians didn't eat anything involved with animals? Such as milk.. or chocolate?

I believe if you look like one of them people from Schindler's list you really should switch your diet up, cuz you aren't healthy.

Ok so your problem is simple... just stick to eating vegetables and fruits and stay away from sweets/sugars/oil. Eat 5-8 meals a day and drink 1 gallon of water a day. You'll be pleased knowing you're losing weight without using a treadmill.



By the way... you're actually skinny. There's no weight to lose o.O;
