    I guess I'll give a couple of tips!

    - eat breakfast every day if at all possible, and try to make it filling! my favorites are oatmeal or hot cereal, fruit, eggs and veggies, yogurt, all that jazz.

    - try to become familiar with where your food comes from, how food gets processed, and all that jazz - learning about the American and global food systems and the process for creating the delicious but bad-for-me foods I used to inhale helped me really change my thinking and lifestyle approach

    - keep veggies and fruits around - i have apples and carrots and other easy-to-prepare vegetables and fruits in my room at school so that I can turn to those if I'm hungry.

    - try your best to think of eating 'healthy' as normal, not a diet, for dieting implies impermanence.
  • absie107 i agree with your tips, i think it is really helpful to know where your food is coming from. i'mm wanting to geta jump start on this myself.
  • Hi Mizah!
    A few tips:
    I've been eating scrambled egg whites every morning, and the extra protein seems to be shedding the pounds.
    Also, there's really no way around it. -You have to exercise in order to burn your calories and lose weight. You have to make it a daily thing, just like brushing your teeth everyday, you have to exercise everyday.
    Also, I've found that eating often helps, as you probably already know it works for a lot of people, having small meals all day. If you look at my food diary, I eat all day, a variety of different foods!
    Good luck on your journey! :)
