Ladies, Please Love Yourself

34% of women had their first negative thoughts about their body before age 11. 33% went on their first diet between ages 11 & 13. 26% started dieting in high school. 47% say their body image has been affected by photos of models & celebrities. 65% of women say if they could go back in time, they wouldn't make themselves any slimmer: they would change how they felt about their looks. Ladies Love yourselves flaws & all...

Remember, "There is NO Greater Love Than the REAL You!

To Eat or Not to Eat?

This weekend I saw "Notorious"-if you didn't see it, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? I'm usually not a popcorn eater at the movies, my ghetto self brought in 2 McDouble's and 10-piece nugget from McDonald's lol but if I do get a snack its usually candy, pretzel bites, a hot dog, or ice cream. [I'm a fat girl in a skinny girl's body] In my February issue of {Glamour} there was this article on what to eat at the movies and I was a little surprised at the list.

If you are going to get popcorn, skip the large with the extra butter, get the Kids Size with no butter

GET IT RIGHT AND GET IT TIGHT FOR '09 LADIES

For most women a new year means a new gym membership. You go to the gym for about a month or two and begin to slack around February or March. Workouts are extremely important, but your diet is also. How do you leave the gym and then go get a cheese burger from McDonald’s? We want and need to improve our bodies, no matter what size we are, and we need to also improve our mentality. If we are not mentally ready to get in shape, then we are not going to be motivated to eat right and workout.

Yeah we want to look good in our bathing suits and find the “perfect fit” Seven jeans but its going to take more then just the gym. We need to be mentally ready and we need to be disciplined!
