hmm, best eating advice I can give. Only eat when your body (stomach) says it's hungry. I know I got overweight by eating all the time, and a ton. when the clock said eat, when others offered food, when I smelled food/saw food. samples, the list is endless. It took some major getting used to, mainly because I don't think I knew what a true hunger pang even felt like. but now I only eat when I'm hungry, and even that within reason. If it is 11:30 at night and I will be sleeping within 2 hours, I still don't "eat" I may have a 2 pack of saltines or 1-2 oz yogurt. just enough to make me not hungry but not enough to give my body lots of calories to store up through the night.

I know it can be hard, people I work with bring food EVERY day. there is always some "community" spread in the kitchen. Ask any of them, I have not once eaten any of it as long as I have worked there. Unless I was hungry and decided to forgo whatever I planned on having for my meal. I do attempt to eat things that are good for me, but on that front I don't have much room to dispense advice. I'll admit I don't eat great, and sometimes all I eat in a day is carrots and celery. While they are good for you, your body does need more. I am not attempting to starve myself by any means, I am just not hungry. I have gotten to the point that food is not on my mind if my stomach does not tell it to be. Light to mild exercise will help jumpstart weightloss too. because even eating, being able to burn more than you consume requires your body to burn fat for energy rather than calories. Hope this helps. Don't get discouraged, talk with whoever you see for aftercare too. they may have some great suggestions. good luck
