HELP!
Relax, honey. You're weight is just fine. But it's important to control your hunger. And you're not the only one with that problem. A lot of people eat and then become hungry five minutes later. So it's definitely common.

You should stay consistent with your meals. Ideally, you should have three meals and one or two snacks per day. If you can maintain that for a week it will become a good habit for you. If you think about it, when we are used to eating a meal and then 10 minutes later we're hungry again, every time we grab another food our body becomes used to that.

Maybe you're not actually hungry. Recent studies have been saying that emotion is the key factor for hungry. Generally people tend to mix up hunger with boredom or sadness. And that's because Americans are starting to eat just because they are sad or bored. So maybe if you think to yourself "Am I really hungry?" before you have a snack you'll know if you actually are hungry or not.

As well as mixing up emotion and hunger people sometimes mix up thrist with hunger too. Try drinking a glass of water before a meal. It will fill you up a litte more so that you're not hungry afterwards.

thanks so much

I'm back! 6 years on this site and counting! Let yourself be known for something. It may not be perfect but imperfections are so much more interesting and fun!

I'm well known from my high interest in people. I thrive off helping others.

A lot of people say they have been through a lot. And well, this is true for almost everyone, including me. Rather than let past harm me I embrace what I've dealt with and use it to my advantage in the future.

I'm 20. Turning 21 soon enough. Been there, done that but cetainly have much more to learn. No, I do not know everything and I wouldn't claim. I do know that I am dedicated, educated, generous, motivated, and ambitious. I give all my time and heart into each answer.

I specialize in art, education, communication, psychology, massage therapy, health, travel and destinations.

I know information regarding school, college, abuse, neglect, personalities, relationships, friendships, little bit of info on cars, licit and illicit behaviors and or subjects. But I will be willing to answer anything!
