Undesireable No.1 : WEIGHT

          Weight is every girl's primary problem. Do I look too fat? Does this dress make me look too fat? Do these shoes make my ankles look chubby? Does this top make my arms look fat? And the questions don't stop. Even though most guys don't understand why we fuss so much over our weight, all girls get it. Now, the line between just being self- conscious and actually having a weight problem is very thin. 
         It's normal to gain weight in your teen years because you get taller. Sports may also cause you to gain muscle weight, which is totally healthy. Being unhealthy isn't about the number on the scale. It's about your excercise and eating habits combined with your body mass index (or BMI), which measures your body fat based on your height, weight and age.

SECRET REASONS YOU'RE STRUGGLING WITH YOUR WEIGHT.
1.Not Enough Sleep.
When you're juggling college, friends, tuitions and tons of after college activities, sleep is probably the last thing on you're mind. But research shows that the less sleep you get, the more you increase your chances of being overweight. That's because when you're sleep-deprived, your body thinks you're hungry even when you aren't, and it craves sugary foods that give you a quick energy hit.


SIMPLE GOAL: TRY FOR 8 HOURS
  • Switch to decaf drinks after 4 P.M.
  • Exercise
  • Power down by shutting off distractions like your phone or computer when your ready for bed.
2. Skipping Breakfast.
Bunking breakfast seems like an easy way to cut calories, especially if you aren't starving in the morning. But eating first thing gets your metabolism rate going.
