Hey, I'm in the same boat - I dont need to lose a lot of weight cos I'm only 126lb but I want to change the shape of my body and cut down all the shite I eat.

I started this new thing last week and its working really well. I figured if I cant control WHAT I eat I'll control HOW MUCH of it I eat.

It takes your brain 20 minutes to register food. We do not give our bodies enough time to register what we are eating therefore we can quite easily sit and finish a massive portion of something without batting an eyelid.

From now on - everything you would have eaten before- eat half of it. its been proven that our portion sizes are double what they used to be back in the old days where there were less cases of obesity - everything comes in large and supersize now.

I've started using very small dinner plates because if you use normal sized plates you feel obliged to fill them up and finish it. Eat and chew your food slowly. Put your cutlery down before mouthfuls and you will feel full up a lot quicker than normal. Wait 20 minutes and I can guarantee you you wont feel the need to eat any more. It really has worked for me because Im really greedy when it comes to food and I tend to binge eat, especially after smoking weed. I find it hard to cut out sweets and chocolate, so now I'll just eat smaller portions that before.

I joined a gym 2 days ago (going for the 1st time tonight) but if you cant afford it, start off walking briskly for at least 30 minutes. Do this for a while, build up your stamina then start jogging at least 3 times a week. Even alternate between walking briskly and jogging - jog for 15, walk for 5, jog for 20, walk for 5.

Hope this helps. Calculate your BMI online to see if you are the normal weight for your height. My BMI is 122 so according to the site I can afford to put on at least another stone (14lb) before I am classed as overweight.
