Ok, so i'm actually on the road to weight loss and whats been helping me A LOT is counting every food that goes into my mouth using this app called myfitnesspal (i aint sponsoring this, i'm a broke ass college kid but this app tells you how much you are eating with all of sugar, carbs and vitamins you take in and a whole lotta of other stuff) and making sure I never stay up for anything because if i do i get stressed out and stress for me always leads to over eating. Also, a tip would be to always brush your teeth if you are feeling hungry, it works for me.
I make sure to at least exercise more than twice a week but whats more important is dieting. There's this thing were people say "weight loss is all 70% diet and 30% exercise" always watch what you eat. Making your own food always makes a difference. Eat more greens, if you have to, buy supplements (they are jam packed with essential vitamins and nutrients that you need on a daily). Make eating healthy a habit not something you 'have' to do because your body is something you are gonna live with for the rest of yourself.
It isn't easy but you gotta start somewhere!
