Help!

You have to make the time. You need to figure out an eating plan that works for you and then stick to it. You have to put yourself first. If you don't take care of you then you can not take care of others. Period. I have had to learn this lesson and it is a hard on to learn. If you want support, you will find it here!! Add me if you like! I love to cheer people on and I have learned a lot myself and don't mind sharing. Good luck!!

Hey! I'm 33, so around the same age as you. I know it can be hard to make healthy choices when your friends and family aren't that supportive. There is little things you can do, such as when cooking, adding 1 new vegetable, or a vegetable to whatever dish you're making. Even if you puree it, or chop it up really small, it helps. The more you "sneak" things in and others don't notice it, the more you can do, and you can even try to chop the pieces slightly bigger. I've been dating my bf since mid-february, and he didn't like vegetables. I've been slowly incorporating them into our meals, and now, he gets mad if I don't have vegetables at a meal, because he now wants them.

If you don't have time to pack a lunch, try to pick out the healthier food your school has, like veggies, fruits, salads, grilled chicken if they got it. Try to stay away for foods like pizza, cheese burgers, hot dogs, candy, sweets, try to limit sugar. If you drink soda/pop I would stop, all that is, is sugar, my mom lost 5lbs in a few weeks just by not drinking soda anymore, drink water instead. I've never had a problem being overweight, but I've read numerous things about nutrition.

Here's a list of some food that I was eating while cutting some body fat:
Grilled/Baked Chicken Breast
Lean Turkey
Tuna
Eggs
Whole Wheat bread
Brown rice
Bananas
Apples
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Almonds
Peanuts
Cashews

So if your school has any of those foods, I'd go for those.
Hope this helps you a little.

Why do you want to become a cheerleader at age 31? How old are you really?
