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

Wellp... I am also a victim of cravings. Luckily due to an excellent metabolism it doesn't really rub off on me but I'm sure it will. I'd say - when you have a craving - drink a few glasses of water! It makes you feel like your full. Or, if you can't stop the cravings this way, try a sweet drink like nesquick or milkshake or hot chocolate - sure, they have calories too but maybe this way you won't feel the need to consume lots of sweets. Or simply - make your parents stop buying the stuff in the fridge that you eat! It works for me. I eat because the things are there. If there is nothing there that looks good to eat to me, I won't eat it. Try it :). Otherwise try to find a hobby that consumes your time physically so if you do consume those calories, it won't be as bad. Alternatively, fruit is nice. I hate the principal of fruit - its not chocolate covered! But I've recently started eating apples and Pink Ladies exspecially make the perfect substitute. Try it!
Good Luck
