6 Struggles of Losing Weight

We have all had a point in our life's where we look in the mirror not satisfied, realizing that our clothes were failing to making us look good. The first thing we do is complain to our friends how we are going to start the process of working out and having a healthier life style. But of course there are always those two types of people. People who of course can go weeks and months with working out and those who are like me and struggle of letting someone take away the bag of chips out of our hands. Although I am still bothered with reality and that gaining weight is so much easier than loosing weight, I'm still in denial and over here still trying to convince myself that its just "baby fat". Okay, dramatic, but the idea and process of wanting to work out and get in shape comes along with a long list of struggles. These struggles are the ones that are one heck of a challenge...well at least for me!

Struggle #1:

The struggle is real when you find yourself trying not to think about food, but you eventually end up taking a nice evil walk to the refrigerator to eat the unhealthiest thing you can find.


Struggle #2:

We all know that Monday. After you finish eating all the delicious food in the fridge, you realize it's the day you were supposed to watch what you were eating, and are constantly pushing the date to start to the following week for about a year.


Struggle #3:

The struggle to make time to do that thing people call exercise. Probably the hardest part when you would rather be lifting a slice of pizza to your mouth.

Struggle #4:

And lets just talk about the struggle of having to debate whether or not you want to be the person who makes a healthy choice by saying no, but get the whole party to look at you as if you are crazy or to just say yes and eat that delicious cake.

Struggle #5:

Realizing that the closest thing you will ever get to having a thigh gap are two pieces of chicken on your plate and that loosing weight is going to be a long road...and you eat the the friend chicken on your plate.

Struggle #6: Looking in mirror and realizing that you do not have abs yet by only doing 10 crunches and stepping of the scale to check if you at least dropped a a few ounces, but begin to question on how maybe your scale need knew batteries because you gained 2 pounds.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
