i don't advise that you try to lose weight at this point. research shows that people your age that diet to lose weight gain more weight into adulthood. in other words restricting what you eat to lose weight at this point can backfire later. instead focus on healthy habits you will want to continue for life. they include the following: 1) eat regular meals at the table and snacks if you are hungry between. balanced meals with a variety of food groups (fruits vegetables protein dairy healthy fats and grains) will help keep you nurtured full and satisfied. 2) include your favorite sweets sensibly in your diet so you don't feel deprived or eat them too often. 3) let feelings of hunger and fullness guide your eating. research shows young adults who do this are least likely to have disordered eating or gain unnecessary weight. 4) lead an active lifestyle -- move your body often and find exercises you love. it will improve your mood and help you deal with stress. 5) embrace your body-- it's great that you realize you have curves and like the way you look. trying to make your body smaller or different than nature intended can lead to trouble. instead take care of your body by listening to it. getting enough sleep eating balanced meals and trying not to burn the candle on both ends is a good start. notice how eating good quality food makes you feel in terms of energy and mood. if you can do these things consistently it will set you up for a healthy life free from food struggle. good luck!
