The No Bread Challenge May Be The Key to Weight Loss
atherys.com

My parents told me that bread was horrible for my health, but I never listened to them until I started gaining weight. During my high school years, I was the decent size so I did not bother to pay attention to the foods that I ate. I was an athlete and I burned most of my calories during my workouts. However, after I graduated from high school, I became inactive and my appetite took control over me.

I gained twenty pounds during my freshman year at Claflin University. To be honest, I did not dwell on my weight gain because I thought it was completely normal. Nevertheless, my body could not handle all of the extra pounds I picked up. I tried to lose the weight during the beginning of my summer break, but I was unsuccessful. I almost gave up on losing weight until I stumbled upon the No Bread Challenge on Facebook.

According to health professionals, bread can lead to bloating because it cannot digest quickly in the human body. Therefore, humans should try to stay away from bread due to the fact that it will cause a person to gain weight. Earlier this week I made up my mind that I would not continue to contaminate my body with unnecessary carbs.

It is evident that humans can survive without consuming a lot of bread products. I do not understand why people perceive the No Bread Challenge to be difficult because it is one of the simplest diets I have tried. The human mind controls our cravings so we can overcome our unhealthy temptations. Yes, you can complete the 7-day challenge because it is quite simple! Remember, you do not live to eat unhealthy foods!

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.
