Food chest
I've found that my greatest trick on fighting the urge to snack, is to create a food chest. Its so much fun and its very addictive. You get a secret hiding place, and you start off by putting all the sweets and non perishable snacks and chips and etc in it. I have a large box that sits in my cupboard. I love putting my junkfood that im given or buy as a cover up in it. As the pile grows, im more determined to not eat that stuff so that my pile can get bigger. And the best part is that you can invite your friends over (or bring stuff to school) and give your friends a bunch of goodies. I find that creating a set place for my food helps me a lot with avoiding binge eating. if you have any ideas or anything similar, i'd love to know :)...

Vitamin E: (tocopherol)
this vitamin is good for fighting toxins. (is a good antioxidant)
Folic acid:

Magnesium:
good for converting energy from food, cell repair, building strong bones, teeth and muscles and regulating body temperature.
Zinc:

WARNING!
do not overdose in vitamins. take the recomended daily amount that you will find on the package. an overdose will result in the opposite effect and can be dangerous to your body.
I've found that with taking vitamins, its like eating and planing a meal. You would not eat the same thing every day. swap your vitamins around and get a covered basis of all vitamins in a week. I recomend up to 4 different vitamins every day so that your body can use them and not dispose of them.
Good luck and stay healthy.

Supress hunger
Drink water. Most people do not drink enough water to keep the body properly hydrated. If you drink 20 ounces of water a day, you are still drinking more water than a great number of Americans.
Chew gum. The calories you might take in (next to none) from the gum will be spent in the chewing process, keeping your mouth busy and satisfying any underlying urge for shoving food in your gullet.
Talk. Another diversionary tactic that can also help stimulate your mind and help you form deeper bonds with someone. If you're traveling alone, call a friend you haven't talked to in a while and catch up with them.
Walk it off. This will burn calories and distract your mind.
Indulge in a different interest, such as window-shopping in your favorite part of the store, if that is where you are when hunger strikes.
When you're at home and the craving strikes, do an errand you've been putting off for a while and tell yourself, you can go check the fridge after you're done. But be careful! fridge pickers wear big knickers.
When in doubt, DRINK MORE WATER. You cannot overdose on water, your body needs it, and aside from helping to give a short-term break from hunger, drinking enough water every day will actually help you have more beautiful hair, skin and assist your digestive processes... HELPING YOU LOSE WEIGHT!
Be thinking about it. Maintaining your weight takes effort. Losing weight takes even more effort. You're not just fighting the laziness of your body, you're battling hard-coded mental patterns that YOU created.

Thinspiration quoates
Thin people look good in all clothes.
Thin is graceful.
You don't need food all the time.
Guys like skinny girls.
Ana girls give the best head because they're always hungry.
skinny is pretty.
You will be able to be proud when wearing a bikini.
Fat is ugly.
People will be able to lift you up.
One moment of happiness from food does not equal the happiness from being skinny.
Have you ever seen anyone not noticing a thin girl?
Food is mean and sneaky, every bite makes you fat bloated and unhappy.
keep calm and stop eating.
Fridge pickers wear big knickers.
To be thin is to look great in those skimpy outfits you see in stores.
If i eat anything, i eat everything... so i eat nothing.
Hunger hurts but starving works.
You will be fat if you eat today.
Do not give up what you most want, for what you most want at the moment.
When you are so strong and clever that you can starve yourself for the better.
Control the food intake, don't let the food intake control you.
Craving is only a feeling.
Eat to live, don't live to eat.
every time you say no to food, you say yes to thin.
Sacrifice is giving up something good for something better.
Being thin is more important than food.
you want food? look at those thighs!
nothing tastes as good as thin feels.
Don't eat! do you want to stay fat?
