How do i stop SNACKING when I get home from school?

It is so frusterating because I eat really good all day but when I get home (hungry or not) I say, just a spoonful of peanut butter won’t hurt (peanut butter is my weakness!) Then it’s another and another until I lose count. Then I’m eating from the jelly jar, the cereal box – you name it! When I get home I just wanna taste everything!

Then I’m not hungry for dinner but my mom makes me eat anyway. Please help before I gain too much weight! DX And please don’t tell me, “You can snack, just go for healthy things.” Because it doesn’t work for me. I only ever like to snack on fattening foods that I wouldn’t normally allow myself to have. (such as chips, ice cream, cookies, etc)

Plus it’s not that easy to just “throw all the junk food out” because it’s all my parents buy (no kidding) and they’d be p!ssed if I threw away all their food. I swear, they don’t even cook me healthy meals! We go out to eat EVERY night and there is not a single fruit or vegetable in our house. X[ Crazy…I know.

Thanks for any tips / help! ;)
Haha, JJay, you’ve obviously never suffered too badly with this sort of thing, have you…

how do i get rid of anxiety i get from smoking weed?

Ok so here is the story, and please dont post for me to stop smoking or your an idiot or any of that you guys dont know how much I need this to be cured and if you have had it to you know what im saying. I have been smoking weed for about 2 years now, I use to get high and stoned and just hangout with friends kick back and have a good time, until last winter (winter 2009) I smoked one time and felt some really wierd unexplanable things going on it my body. I kept smoking for a while and the same things kept happening, it went away in the spring than one day I got it bad so I went to the hospital told them I had stomach pains which is where the pain was, and that water helped and burping felt better all that shit. They told me I had acid reflux so I cut down on smoking and started eating healthy thinking I had acid reflux, after drinking I was told alcohol would aggervate your acid reflux symptoms the most but when I would drink I would be fine and when I would drink and smoke weed I would be fine. I could also eat any food and feel fine so I figure I dont have acid reflux(I had multilpe acid reflux tests everything came out normal) going for my last test next week to determine if I have it or not, I’m still taking my acid reflux medicines 2s a day and have been for a while. So what lead to me think I had acid reflux was because I would smoke and feel like shit only when I smoke I later realzied that this is prolly anxiety, When I smoke I need fresh air and water otherwise I feel helpless. I dont know why I get anxiety when I smoke I always want to get a good high but always freak out no matter how high I’m, when someone asks me if I want to smoke my heart rate increases just thinking about it more often than not I wont smoke with people just by myself but once in a while I will and yesterday I smoked with my friend a jeeb, minutes after I had to step out of my car walk around and get some fresh air I couldnt drive my car I was to paranoid when I was in the car I felt heart attacks coming on at some points (I’m only 18)! I tried to relax myself but its hard when your high so eventually after walking around the neighborhood downing multiple water bottles and trying to chill out I drove my friend home and went home still preety fuckin high since it was only like 45 minutes passed in time, when I went in I felt better I was watching basektball and sitting next to my window breathing in and out trying to relax I still stayed high for about an hour after I got home was not nearly as paranoid just kinda relaxed and enjoyed my high, but how do I get rid of this anxiety so when I smoke with my friends I’m nice and relaxed…… dont tell me to stop smoking cause I cut down big time I went from an everyday smoker to only a few times a week I just want to enjoy being a kid I’m only 18 years old. I’m going to a shrink next week to talk about anxiety I’m going to tell him about all this but I tried some tips I got offline to no avile. Did anyone experience anxiety from weed and was abel to over come it? Like I said earlier I had it last year for a while it went away I dont know how but its been back for a while now
I know its anxiety and tis all in my head but my head wont let me chill out I always feel things coming up my throat and water always has to wash it down and if i dont ill feel like my throat is going to close up even though its not at all just HELP ME

Drop that spoon! The truth about breakfast cereals: an extract from Felicity Lawrence’s book
Britain is one of the world’s largest consumers of puffed, flaked and sugared breakfast cereals. How did that happen when many were said to contain less nutrition than the boxes they come in? Felicity Lawrence investigates How did it all begin? It was one of those things that crept up on us and we still can’t quite believe it happened. Looking back, we’d been in denial for some time. Then a …
