How To Get Back To Healthy Eating Habits After Thanksgiving

We all know that Thanksgiving can take a toll on us, especially in regards to our weight (if ya know what I'm saying). That damn turkey did it again! Anyway, here are some ways you can get back on track and maintain healthy eating habits, for the better.

Drink plenty of water!


Water is zeo calories and is the best way to stay hydrated, lose weight, and flush out harsh toxins all at once. Drink up!

Remember, moderation is key.


This means, just eat the amount of food your body actually needs. If you're full, don't keep eating that slice of pizza! You can eat what you want, but portion control exactly how much you eat. Now, I'm not recommending you eat half of a pizza every day and you'll lose weight. No, pizza is carbs and it won't help you lose any weight! But for example, eat a slice once a week. That is moderation.

Reduce your sugar intake.


Avoid sugar drinks at any cost. That goes for soda, juice, and yes, alcohol. But, sometimes you need that drink, so do you and have some fun once in a while! But remember, all processed and packaged foods most likely contain a good amount of sugar too, so avoid those, Cut down on the obvious—desserts! Instead, eat food with natural sugars in them, such as fruit, peppers, or natural peanut butter.

Make fruits and veggies your best friend.


These are all low in calories and very nutritionally dense, which means they're all stacked up with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber! Eat the recommended five servings a day of each, and it'll definitely fill you up and help avoid those harsh toxins.

All of these can be easily done—just work at it. It does take time!

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.
