I am a 21-year-old college student. In spring of 2011 I found myself at the largest I have ever been: 5'3" and 165 lbs. At that moment I decided to start making changes.
TO DO: decrease my portions, eat better quality food, stay active
NEVER: deprive myself of enjoying life, lose weight in an unhealthy way

Decide for yourself how much you should eat and drink every day to satisfy the needs of nature. Avoid as much as possible not merely overeating, but even eating just enough to be full. One should eat and drink only to the point where one is still a little hungry and thirsty.
