Once I start, I just can't stop! Does anyone have any tips? Oh, and my family eats like so much pizza and unhealthy stuff..it's almost impossible to lose weight. Even when we have salads I overeat. HELP!
Reply from Mel, Age 17 - 06/29/08 - IP#: 24.178.125.xxx Try to remove yourself from that environment where you over eat. Babysit and make a pact with yourself that you won't eat their food, or go to a camp for an activity you enjoy where they have planned meal times so you won't snack and over eat. Or exercise and wait an hour before you eat, and think about why you exercised that day to discipline yourself. Also, drink water before and after meals to avoid uneccessary hunger.

Reply from Flower Fawn, Age 15 - 06/28/08 - IP#: 96.227.102.xxx Have mints handy, to start. After you eta one serving, pop a mint or two. Get a strong or slightly gross flavor, such a as spearmint or peppermint. You can also brush your teeth if you're at home, or chew sugar free gum. Also, think about a body role model you like and cut out a picture of them. Tape it to a place where you can look at it before you eat. :)
