Self Control

RainbowPoodle97

I am 18 and still live at home and I love to eat however my parents say that I need to learn some self control when lots of food is put before me. I am not at all over weight but I really do need to gain self control. Has anybody got any helpful hints and tips. And by the way I am only new so please feel free to add me.

What happens when food is put before you that makes your parents say you need self control? There are different types of issues that have different solutions. Maybe you eat fast, maybe you eat large volumes of food at once, maybe it's that you don't eat a well balance diet. It could be that you don't actually have an issue, they just see it as a problem.

So how do I gain self control???

I don't know what the problem is, so I can't tell you. That's why I asked what makes them say you need self control.

Do you eat too fast?
Do you eat too much at once?
Do you tend to eat only sweets?

All of the above

Put your fork down between bites. Chew each bite 20 times. If you fill half of your plate with vegetables you'll still get the full feeling from eating a bunch at once. Limit sweets to one time per day and one selection.
