about
My name is Angel, and I'm from northern California. I come from a large family where I'm the oldest, and I've lived a long, strange life. I have just about seen it all. In the last couple years, I have kicked a bad drug/alcohol addiction, and I can proudly say that I'm a sober teenage girl. I have a job, I'm a nanny/family assistant, whatever you want to call it. I'm a senior in high school, and I'm genuinely happy. I have a boyfriend, and we've been together for almost a year now. I have a lot of good advice, because I have a lot of life experience. I come from a broken family, I have step-relatives, and half-relatives. I just reunited with my mother after 10 years. My sister is a drug addict of the worst possible kind. I've been in all types of relationships. I guess it's safe to say that I know a little bit about a lot of things, and there's a lot that I know a lot about. Then there's things that I know nothing about, and that's when I ask questions. Thanks for reading my little rant, ask me anything. I check my email everyday, so if you can't reach me on my column, email me. ~Angel xoxo
advice
i eat nice full meals, but sometimes after i eat and i know i'm full, i want more or i get cravings
i mean im not fat but sometimes i go in the kitchen and get a cookie and i want to stop
so how can i stop these craving for sweets (im trying to eat better and healthier) and how can i cut back on bad foods?
*please don't say "don't go in the kitchen" or "stop the cravings" cause that doesnt help much

It's hard to curb cravings. Sometimes for me a glass of water will do the trick though. There are all kinds of gimmicks, diet pills and all that crap. Truth is, most people don't need that stuff to put a stop to cravings. You have to find a healthy alternative to the cookie until you can stop craving the cookie. You know what I mean? It's hard, maybe rather than eating 3 big meals a day, eat 4/5 small meals. Between breakfast and lunch have a fruit salad or something. Between lunch and dinner have a salad with a lot of lettuce and oil/vinegar dressing. It sounds gross, but during normal meals just eat whatever you would normally eat, just a slightly smaller portion. It's also healthier, I've heard, to not eat heavy meals after 3 o'clock. Good luck hun, I really hope I helped, if you have any other diet/food questions, leave one in my inbox. ~Love Angel
(Rating: 5) thanks, that makes since (the smaller portions not the pills!)
