Advice for a college student

[Twistedxfaith]

My name is Lauren and I'm a nineteen year old college student looking to lose about 30 pounds. I am 5'6 and about 160 pounds. My problem is that I live in a sorority house with a fully stocked kitchen just seconds away whenever I want it. We have a chef that cooks our meals for us which is actually not bad, pretty healthy controlled meals. However, the always available snacks is what kills me. I have no self control and when the food is there, I will eat it. Does anyone have any advice on how I can better control my calorie intake with snacks. I do go to the gym whenever I can, but because I don't have a strict regime, I don't think that this is helping. I'm hoping to start a new exercise and diet plan when I return to school after christmas break, but I don't know how I am not going to eat the potato chips and other snacks that are always there. Thanks!

Try reaching for fruits and veggies instead of chips and other bad things. I love snacking on sliced apples, oranges, baby carrots, and cauliflower(I actually think I only like to eat it because its fun to eat. Such a strange child I am.)

And maybe when you feel like snacking go for a walk, clean, or maybe even play a video games. Keep those fingers busy and away from snacks.

And maybe tell one of your friends to try to help you stay away from snacks. Like when you feel like snacking text them and etc.

Possibly get a pair of goal jeans(one size smaller) for inspiration and every time you think of snacking look at the jeans and they might be like a reminder. "Stay away from the snacks and soon you can wear me"

Hope that helped a little bit. xD
