I do not know if you feel like you are never full or not, but try drinking more water. Having more water in you can make you feel fuller as well as being a better beverage to drink not having all the calories and sugars. When I was younger I had a similar problem and I decided to take a picture of myself in a tight shirt and shorts and put it in my snack cuppbard as well as on the fridge so that everytime I went to eat something, I had a reminder of my weight and would not eat them. Being 17, I assume you still live at home with your parents and I would say you should consider talking about your weight concern with your family and they may be supportive and not keep as many snacks at a time as well as getting healther snacks like fruit, veggies, and whole wheat crackers and such. You could also try having a better activity level, go for walks, swimming, bike riding, roller bladeing, as well as even just dancing in your room like crazy for an hour a day. If you would put more exercise into your daily routine, it can help counteract all the food you eat in a day.

Eat healthy snacks that will keep you fuller for longer, such as almonds and a piece of fruit. If you’re hungry, try drinking a glass of water before you eat. It will curb some of your hunger. If you’re hungry around night-time, go to sleep. Speaking of sleep, make sure you are getting at least 8 hours of sleep a night because that burns a lot of calories.
