  • I've had this happen to me several times while I was in high school by other students(I was about 5'4" and never weighed more than 155. Overweight but not by a whole lot). Also by customers/coworkers at my retail job through my first couple years of college. I already had issues with my stomach before, and those MANY…

  • I think your best bet would be to call the airline/airport to see if they would have any issues. Usually security seems to be more concerned about liquids, but it wouldn't hurt to ask. The worst case would probably be that they have you throw it away, so maybe don't take more than you would want to potentially lose.

  • If you want to eat three times a day, just divide your calorie allowance into thirds and plan meals for that calorie amount. Then when you start your day, eat your first meal when you feel hungry. Eat your next meal the next time you feel hungry. Same with the third. And just remember to actually eat when you're hungry(you…

  • Try drinking lots of water. Just tons when you start to get that hungry feeling 15-30 minutes before you actually plan on eating. Then do something to distract yourself. Go talk to people, type up an email, anything to stay busy.

  • It really helps to just do them. So you can only do a couple? Do one or two before/after you go to the bathroom, or when you first walk in your house, or during commercials during a TV show. I'm in the Army through ROTC, and before I started ROTC I could barely do a push up, but I improved a lot just by doing them. Make a…

  • Does your college have a gym you can use? My school included a membership at our gym included in our fees. I brought my gym clothes to class, and immediately after my last class I'd go straight to the gym(even if I didn't feel like it) for at least an hour. Otherwise there was NO WAY I'd ever go back out to work out once I…

  • I've never been much of a person who likes to repeat phrases to myself, but there are a few things I've found that work for me(and I HATE running) If I'm running and start to get all those negative thoughts like "I should just walk" "I hate this" "What's the point?" "There's no way I'll be able to run the remaining X…

  • Well for one thing, some people generally need less sleep than the rest of the population, or what is "recommended." I have a couple friends that just don't sleep more than 6 hours a night and feel fine. If your body is waking you up consistently after 8 hours of sleep I wonder if your schedule has changed since you…

  • I like to use plain greek yogurt(I've used Chobani and Fage) to add to smoothies. It helps thicken it up and adds a lot of protein. I love the chobani blueberry 6oz cups. Somewhere on this site I read that it's mostly just a jelly at the bottom, so once the farmer's market opens up where I live I'm going to buy some jelly…
