I don't know if this is the right category...
But anyways. I'm 15/f and I'm 5' 5" and around 120-122lbs [it changes frequently between those numbers.] I know, I'm at the right weight. But I have issues with my stomach, thighs and legs. I need help on what I should do regularly to lose the fat and get lean. And yes, this is going to get long =)
I think I eat pretty healthy. I'm a vegetarian and I most of the time cook my own food since it's the summer and some other reasons. I also pretty much eat rice everyday [brown rice] since I'm Korean. [Don't worry. I'm from the south...] I don't eat junk foods like ice cream or cookies or candies or something like that. I splurge like maybe once every other month or something like that? Mostly only for celebration days like Christmas or birthdays. My family doesn't really go out to eat and we don't really buy fast food or order pizza unless we're uber busy, which doesn't happen much. I pretty much only drink water or tea so no soda problems for me. Um, yeah. My mom tries to cook food for me because she feels bad about me making my own food, but everytime she does, she pretty much dumps food for two people for me to finish by myself. So, help with that?
But since I don't eat meat, I get hungry pretty fast & I wanted to know what types of specific foods I need to eat that will fill me up and keep me filled up that is healthy and not very fattening. I'm not a very picky eater. I'll pretty much eat anything that doesn't have meat, animal broth, or gelatin in it.
Also, for the exercising part. I used to jog every other day when summer started, but I got really lazy recently. I'll restart on jogging again tomorrow and continue on with that. I'll probably jog starting around 7AM for a mile and walk the second mile. I'll try and run 2miles every other day. But other than that, are there any other simple exercises that I could do at home? I don't have excess to the gym and I have a pilates, yoga, and target toning video at home. That's pretty much it. Anything to specifically target my thighs and calves? I don't want to get muscular, though. Haha. Any other tips for me???
Sorry this was really long...
Thanks very much =)

Can't help you out with the portions that your mother gives you at dinner except to say that it's a matter of self discipline and restraint not to overeat.
Food that has fat and protein in it will fill you up fast- try to eat more nuts since you're a vegetarian and avoid the fruits and high sugar foods later in the night.
The running will do good for your legs, simple calisthenics like toe raises, push ups and sit ups never hurt to throw in either. Keep it simple, it takes time.
