something that really worked for me, was only eat when you are hungry, if you're full, don't finish your plate because that's just a heap of extra calories you don't need. listen to your body. it's also fact that sometimes when we think we're hungry, we're actually thirsty, so drink a glass of water, wait 10 minutes and if you're stomach is still growling, eat something (healthy!) and stop when you are satisfied. if the growling goes away, you were just thirsty!. buy crystal light if you don't like water, but try and drink at least 2 glasses of pure water a day, it makes your skin really nice :) good luck hun
