Appetite suppressant?
I am currently trying to lose weight, I am 19, female, 157cm and about 100lbs, with a goal to lose about 5-10lbs for the sake of my health and fitness (and thighs, lol). Currently I jog up a steep hill for half an hour each morning as well as doing a lot of walking during the day, eat a healthy breakfast of wholegrain toast with lite cottage cheese, miso soup for lunch and a vege stir fry or similar vege dish for dinner. The only meat I eat is fish. I drink nothing but water and herbal tea, and have no desserts. However I am finding myself getting serious cravings for chocolate all the time and sometimes find it hard to resist the temptation to gorge! I have succumbed and feel terrible about it, not so terrible that I'll throw it back up but still I feel like I am making no progress and it's depressing. I want to see results!
Does anyone know any good and cost-effective ways to suppress appetite? I am really small and know I shouldn't be eating nearly as much as I do, I am the size of a 12 year old kid for goodness sakes and I am not growing any bigger!

Maybe give some free advice about: Nutrition?
you don't seem like you need to lose any weight, but i guess if you think you would be more satisfied a few pounds lighter, then that's fine but don't go overboard! you don't want to turn into a stick insect. if I were you i would add a little weight training into your day. just free weights, using 8 pound dumbells or so, just to strengthen your arms and maybe do some crunches. as for the chocolate, the only reason that you want it so bad is that you are depriving yourself of any good food!
if I were you I would go to the store, maybe a health food store if you have one near. if you can find a dark BIG chocolate bar (dark is lower in fat and higher in antioxidants) look for one with low calories per serving. don't buy candy bars like snickers or anything though. then divide it up, just say 1 square every day or 2 squares every 3 days. or you could try hershey kisses, just eating two a day. the truth is, eating a small dessert like this every so often will actually help you. you won't binge as much, and you are only adding about 75 calories to your diet. run an extra 5 mintues a day or do some pushups and crunches and you will see that it really makes no difference, in fact you will probably end up losing the weight quicker.
also make sure that when you eat breakfast lunch and dinner that you are eating plenty of it, because if you are only having a few bites at each, your metabolism might be going into starvation mode, and that could be why you don't see results.
you have to consume calories to burn them!
