Ways to stop myself from eating too much?

I'm a 15 year old girl, 5ft 1 and I weigh about 8 stone. I go to the gym twice a week and I also do a lot of dancing. I would love to have a more toned body, but I think what's letting me down is my diet. I don't smoke and I don't drink alcohol often either. I don't eat breakfast, and for lunch breaks ill usually eat pasta. When I'm at home, ill either snack all night, or eat pizza/chips/more pasta/or take aways.

Luckily for me I shed weight fairly easily. But that's not the point, I'd really like some tips to prevent my cravings over snacking and binge eating. Also I'd really appreciate some healthy diet plan of some kind, thanks!

Choose The Best Way To Lose Weight

Recommanded Answer:
Losing weight is about 80% what you eat, so look at what you're eating. Change your lifestyle, don't go on a diet. Eat less junk/fast/fried foods, cut back on soda pop and focus on eating a variety of foods including fruits and vegetables, but also lean proteins (chicken, turkey, fish, lean beef, plain greek yogurt), healthy fats (olive oil, avocado, nuts, hummus), brown rice, oatmeal, milk, low fat cheese, whole wheat bread, etc. The less junk food you eat, the less you're going to want. Try eating just one 'bad' food each day, then go for once every other day and then just 2-3 times a week.

You also should really start eating something for breakfast. This gets your metabolism going in the morning. Try some plain greek yogurt with fresh berries (NOT the fruit on the bottom kinds - that stuff has as much sugar as a candy bar), or a couple scrambled eggs with low fat cheese and whole wheat toast. Something with some carbs/fat/protein to get your day started off right.

If you feel hungry, ask yourself, "Do I want some vegetables or just junk food?" If the answer is junk food, then you're not really hungry. Drink a big glass of water and wait 20 minutes. If you still feel hungry, but not for vegetables, then go do something else to keep yourself busy like text a friend or get out of the house and go for a walk. Also, you could go with your parents next time they go to the grocery store and remind them to skip the junk food and get more of the things I mentioned above. Good luck!
