My tactics are stopping eating when Im full up. Usually when I get a plate of food, or a snack, I finish it off not to be wasteful. Even though I may allready be full up.

Also Im gonna try not to buy stuff from the shop. I’ll eat what we have at home that is healthy. I have made a calender and have agrred with my parents that each 5 days I go without bad food, They will buy me my favorite snack.

And excersize! Doesn’t have to be at the gym, just go out for walk, walk the dog etc.

Good Luck.
