Hi,

Tell me more about the rest of the day. What else are you eating? What about your activity level, is it high?

I stay up long in the night so i wake up at about 1pm and that means I've been skipping breakfast lately, so i am trying to go to sleep earlier so i can wake up and have breakfast before lunch. I drink a lot of soda and juice, and don't eat much at all during the day. I eat my lunch (can't always eat it whole), and i eat my dinner, i can't have any snacks because i always feel full. My activity level isn't high. i used to train soccer but not anymore so i just play with my friends about 2 hours a day.

Your body has learned to live on what you are giving it, but luckily it is reversible. Let start with the morning or your first meal. Don't wait till you are hungry to eat. Get a timer. Every 2 hours make a decision consciously to eat something. Something with some nutritional value,not soda or juice, as a matter of fact cut them out. You have to make the decision to change remember. Meal 1 doesn't not have to be a big breakfast. Make a sandwich, eat half and then in 2 hours eat the other half. That 2 meals already.2 hours later eat a piece of fruit. and keep going like that all day for 2 weeks your metabolism will fall back on track. Don't wait till Monday to start. Start TODAY!
