People are always going on diets. We dream of strutting our stuff and looking like supermodels, but the process is really freaking hard. These ten stages of dieting are just too real.

1. When you realize you’ve gained too much weight and need to lose weight

This is the stage when you have the most motivation after looking at that shocking number on the scale.

2. You decide to go on a diet and change your life for the better

New season, new you!! You're gonna shed some fat and get yourself ready for that summer body!

3. You scourge website to website for the solution to a “successful” diet

What diet to do? One food diet? Paleo diet? Vegan diet? So many options.

4. You go to the market and fill your cart with a myriad of healthy foods

Giphy

Buying the food is the most exciting part. Eating it? Not so much.

5. You’re two days in and made it through with chicken, salad, and tomatoes. Everything’s great

You're eating healthy, feeling healthy, and looking healthy.

6. You tell everyone that you’re on a diet and hangouts go bye-bye

You dump all your research onto whoever will hear, and tell them that you can't hang because it's diet season.

7. But then, someone uploads fried chicken onto their Snapchat…

OOOOOH girl, the temptation is kickin' in. That fried chicken looks freaking bomb, and you really want to put down your salad and order some fried chicken.

8. You put down your phone and stuff yourself with veggies instead

It's only been a few days. It's too early to stop now...

9. The temptation is real, and everything but healthy looks SO GOOD

Your mind is swirling with thoughts of ramen, ice cream, cake, and everything unhealthy.

10. You accept your defeat and go buy some yummy fried chicken #yolo

In the end, fried chicken is too hard to resist, and your stomach, heart, and soul are all satisfied.

It's okay to have a bit of chubs on your body!! Food is too good, and life is too short to abstain yourself from eating good food. Feel confident in yourself because your body is fine the way it is!!

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.
