...snack ideas. 
? I have been a vegan for a while now and it is definitely the best thing i have ever done for myself. i am healthier than i have ever been. I would like some second opinions on my diet and some tips to keep my mind off food since i would like to cut down a bit and lose some extra tummy fat. my usual breakfast is a small serving of oatmeal with soy milk and half of a banana and sometimes a banana almond oatmeal muffin as well. for lunch i eat rice with vegetables. i have a snack around 3 which is usually a fruit shake and for dinner i eat something with a ton of vegetables and some sort of starch like noodles or rice ( im not really much of a bread person) after dinner sometimes i have a little snack like fruit or crackers or something. I am happy with my food and i NEVER starve myself and do my best to stay healthy. i also exercise fairly regularly and have decent abs except the bottom area has a pooch making them harder to see. I have trouble only eating when i am hungry and sometimes find myself eating just out of boredom expesially after dinner. i have managed to help myself connect hunger with eating again but if i could have some tips to help have more self control with eating only when i am hungry that would be great please keep your comments positive and don't worry about my healthy i am very healthy and would just like to lose some extra belly fat so i can confidently wear a bikini for the first time when i go on vacation with my boyfriend and his family (his sister who is about my age is extremely thin so it makes me feel self conscious) thank you so much for any tips and meal ideas!
