Hey, girlie! I'm here to answer your eating prob.

First of all, it's AWESOME that you realize what you've been eating isn't all that great at all. That's the absolute most important step of all. You should already be proud of yourself for that.

The message I'm receiving from your post is that it's mostly people persuading you to eat these unhealthy things. It is definetly fair to you AND your family and friends to talk about nutrition-and the best part is that it may inspire them to eat healthier, too!

Talk to them-if they're really good friends and family, they'll understand. As for the friend sitch, if they won't support you, then they aren't worth it, girlie. Good luck, and if you need anything else just let me know!

Hey! Tons of girls have this problem.

1. Get organized. Use a planner to keep track of all due dates, homework, etc.

2. Study ahead of time. If you have a week to study, DON'T wait until the last minute. You could study a little bit each night, more or less depending on the rest of your work. Studying each night also means better grades!

3. Have a study buddy. Make studying fun by inviting a friend(s) over to study. You could also meet at the library, if you don't want to do that.

4. Treat yourself. Every time you finish a chapter in your textbook, eat a couple M&Ms. Then you keep studying to get the treat!

5. Don't overdo it. Don't join too many extra activities. Keep it to a maximum of 3. Then you'll have plenty of time for fun, and good grades.

6. Don't multitask. Turn off the phone, and log out of Facebook. Put every little bit of your attention into studying. If things are too loud at home, go to a library, or study with a friend at her/his house. Your family will understand.

I hope I helped!

Hey girlie! Thank you so much for applying for the job as Vice President of The Seasonal Club! I read your application and I felt it was very honest and compelling. However, one other girl asked for the application so, I have to wait for her to turn it in before I can make my final decision. I liked the fact that you are on twice a day and I feel that you would be a dependable person. Once I get her application and read I will let you know if you are the new VP or not.

Sincerly,
Leah (PRESIDENT OF The Seasonal Club)

laxismylife on 5/28/2010 6:50:21 PM

maybe ur snaking so much because u don't get enough food for breakfast or lunch. also, if u r eating snacky food like chips or cookies, instead if ur hungry grab some fruit or veggies (think: filling food) if ur rly desperate to stop eating unhealthy food, ask a family member to hide them or put it in a place u can't reach! hope this helps

glamgirlteen on 4/26/2010 5:34:35 PM

hey girl!! i saw your comment about eating a lot after school- believe me, i used to have the EXACT SAME problem!!you say you eat even when your not hungry, ya know why?a seven letter word for nothing to do,...boredom!! when your bored, you decide ta take a look in the pantry or fridge and see something that looks real tasty, then you see something else, and so on. so what can you do? distract your self! here are some snack-free boredom busters!
*walk your dogs
*ride your bike around
*go to the pool
*call a friend on the phone (dont text them though, its easy to slip in a snack between texts!)
*walk away from the kitchen girl! and dont take food with ya!
*work on homework up in your room! (i know its not so super fun, but it'll distract you long enough to keep you out of the kitchen!)
and there are so mant more other things you can do! if you MUST snack then snack on healthy things with fewer calories such as berries, bananas, celery w/ peanut butter, ect!
i seriously hope i could help! luv ya

Hey! to get motivated while running, try listening to music or running with a friend. or try a reward system - for every mile or two you run, buy a song off itunes or something. good luck!

Raefear on 4/8/2010 6:25:11 PM

push-ups!

arm circles

hold your arm stright up next to your ear and bend your arm back (bent at your elbow) repeat and add weight if neccesarry

glamgirlteen on 3/26/2010 10:03:21 PM

hey!! to keep motivated while you run you could do a few different things. 1, you could change your route, 2 listen to music, and 3 if you like to take pics, take em while you run! hope this helps!!

darbie_95 on 3/2/2010 10:33:19 PM

*Hi, I saw your comment on the work out section of the GL site

this is what you said:
i am asking for some advice. do any of you guys know a good way to get motivated when you are outside running? when i am running, i seem to lose interest pretty fast. thanks!-maddie

*Try running with a buddy(you could bring your mom along to get her fit too!) or listen to music while you are running. Or try to time yourself everytime you run and try to beat that time next time you run for the same distance.
If you're losing interest, instead, find a sport you like to get motivated.
Hope this helps!
Let me know if you need advice again(on my profile); i'd luv to help!
xoxo Joyce

hi!!!I'm responding to your thing about acne.i don't steer clear of them or insult them,but i may not want them to touch there face and then touch me.it kinds of creeps me out a little bit to tell you the truth.but i live with it.i have friends who have not so bad acne.and i occasionally get pimples.(not at the acne stage yet thankfully)and i am a curious cat.why do you want to know?

Hey girl, I know that acne dosnt always make someone very apealing to hang with but it is not a good reason to not talk to someone or be their friend. If you have a close friend that has bad acne you can bring up the topic that you went shoping and got a new face was that works great and say it makes your skin feel great. This way you are not being rude and you can be helping them with there acne. Just remember to treat them how you would like to be treated if you were the one with the bad acne, because they may not be able to help it.

agreed :] Yay im so excited :]

live4softball on 2/1/2010 4:50:34 PM

Hey Maddie!
I would love to be your personal trainer!
Here are some tips to try:
-less junk food (seems obvious? But, take it slow. Start with once a day and then gradually reduce your intake)
-more healthy snacks! No junk food? what else should you eat? There are tons of healthy snacking chooses such as fruit, granola, and veggies (preferably celery with ranch!)But, 100 calorie snacks are great too if you still want cookies, crackers, or chips.
-Exercise. Start slow! Jogging is terrific! Cardio and great for legs. I usually jog 3 miles but start by jogging for a couple minutes and then walking, then jogging again. Or, if u have a wii, there are so many fun workout games to do!
That's all for now. Let me know your progress!

ugh i still can't insert a tampon and i had my period for over a year.. is there something wrong with me?

soccerpal5 on 1/27/2010 3:43:14 PM

i got another question and i hope you can answer it... so can i tell my gym teacher that i got my period and i can't go swimming because i don't feel comfortable wearing tampons or should i tell her that i forgot my bathing suit. i don't want to lie to her and since i am in junior high when i have gym it counts as a grade. i really don't want to get a bad grade.

soccerpal5 on 1/22/2010 3:33:29 PM

hey
its boy trouble. i broke up with my boyfriend a month ago but i still sorda have a crush on him but his moved on. his had a nother gilfriend and she broke up with him now he likes this other girl. he was such a jerk before, especially to my friends and sometimes to me so i broke up with him. Now were friends and he does become a jerk more often but is sometimes nice and i still like him for some reason. But he likes a nother girl and he is like the most haded person and annoying person in school. i usually look for personality in boys but i still have a crush on him. And the problem before was that i wasnt open to him at all and he was. i also think that he still likes me what should i do? i dont want the same things to happen again.AND I HAVE ANOTHER CRUSH ON SOME ONE ELSE. should i like my X-BF or should i also move on???
