your just growing but i suggest you slow down and find something else to pull you away from constantly eating. there is medication for this. but this is normal is obesity runs in your family. so chill out. your fine. but you need to learn to contain yourself or you'll end up hurting yourself and not know it. life will get hard. but whatever. good luck!

have you gone to the doctor? there could be something medically wrong. are you on new medications? they could be making you hungry. is there a chance you're pregnant? whenever i was pregnant by time i hit 6-7 weeks i was ALWAYS hungry.

start taking a multi-vitamin everyday for the first part... try ingesting more vitamin C and vitamin B and keep calcium at a good level(not to much) try cutting down to smaller meals when you start the multivitamins, these will help speed your metabolism and will process your food faster...and you DO have to slow down on the eating if you want to lose weight
