Controlling Your Body Cravings For The Better

 I want it so bad!
I'm so hungrryyyy right now.
I have to resist the temptation!
I cant right now! Already gained five pounds in the last couple months! And its almost summer!
I'm sure you've experienced the struggle and have had this tough argument with yourself. Maybe a lot, maybe a little, or, if you're lucky- perhaps not at all.
For those of you who struggle with it, its okay. I go through this myself. (And all my friends say I'm ultra-thin, but I don't know, I feel like I could be in better shape sometimes, so this is something I do go through.)
I'm writing this post right now, as a matter of fact, because a friend of mine and I are both trying to encourage each other to lessen on the junk food. Yeah, (currently) it IS Friday night, and we ARE both really hungry for lots junk food that isn't great for our bodies, but encouraging each other to not give in to our longing for tons of junk food is really a big helper at the moment.
1. So, first things first. If you want to lessen your junk food intake, don't think you have to endure a diet of raw, crunchy, uncooked vegetables and fruits. You can buy things like energy bars, and make yogurt smoothies to help "kill the craving"  for sugar and calories your body wants. If you go ahead and eat just like raw vegetables, and water, your longing for any amount of sugar will be too overpowering, and plus that's just not necessary. The real key to sugar and calorie intake is just to not overdue it.
2. Have at least one friend who may be struggling with this herself team up with you, so you both can help each other remember the right food choices to make on a daily or regular basis. Even if you can't be in person when the temptation arrives, make sure you two can message or call each other when that dangerous time of day comes in and all you feel like eating is pizza rolls, loads of ice cream, and potato chips. :P
3. Be happy with your body. Few, if in fact anyone, has a fabulous figure. And that's alright! Remember to take it one day at a time maybe, lessening intake of fatty foods day by day. Sometimes, if you go all for it immediately, it will be way too hard! Take it slow and don't be too hard on yourself.

Hope these tips will help you make happy, healthier food choices! Always remember too, its perfectly okay to indulge in some junk food occasionally, as long as you don't overdo it. And NEVER reach the point where you are starving yourself. That's a bad health choice, always! Remember, you're beautiful girlies, no matter what! :)
