	Keep a close eye on PORTION SIZES. Be sensible and don't go super-sizing every meal.
	AVOID getting too STRESSed . This creates emotional eating.
	If you do feel the urge to SNACK, just stick to healthy items like apples and grapes.
	Go easy on the CARBS. Practice moderation. Choose "good carbs" like brown rice and whole wheat bread.
	"What would MOM do?". Consider how your mother constructed well-balanced meals.
	Make wise CAFETERIA choices. School eateries tend to be stocked with greasy foods. Try "going veggie" a few days a week and choose vegetarian options.
