“Imagine a world where beauty is a source of confidence, not anxiety.”

Inspired


 Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it. 

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. 

Happiness is:  Looking in a mirror and like what you see .   

When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you. 

Don't rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can't love and respect yourself - no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are - completely; the good and the bad - and make changes as YOU see fit - not because you think someone else wants you to be different.  

Notice and appreciate every inch of your body inside and out.   

It is not selfish or narcissistic to love yourself. It is your first and foremost responsibility.

Loving yourself allows you to see the beauty in others. It opens your senses to the brilliance of divine light, to the sweetness of your own life experience and to the power of your focused incarnation. Loving yourself allows your consciousness to assume the shape of love, which makes you at once loving and lovable. But most of us are very stingy with the love we offer ourselves.

Khloe Kardashian


After seeing this photo you would wonder why Khloe Kardashian would ever be embarrassed to show off this body. On their show, "Keeping Up With The Kardashians", Khloe expressed her concern for being a full bodied girl and posing naked for PETA. On the show, she realized that she is beautiful and has nothing to be ashamed of. She looks amazing and is truly a beautiful girl with an amazing personality. Khloe is an inspiration!

Abs

Everyone should accept their curves but keeping those beautiful curves can be as simple as a fifteen minute work out!

I recommend the P90x Ab Ripper X. It's tougher than most ab workouts, but it's 15 minutes a day, every other day! It's a tough workout but if you're up for it, GO FOR IT!

If you're not interested in an intense workout, check out the video and adjust it for you!

EAT RIGHT!

Why diet when all you really need to do it eat right!

Eat a large breakfast
- A glass of orange juice
- Half of a grapefruit (No sugar!)
- Whole wheat toast
- Egg whites
It'll leave you satisfied until lunch!

Don't deprive yourself!
The secret? SMALL PORTIONS! Everything in moderation!
Have a small serving of your favorite sweet twice a week

Watch portion sizes
Eat slowly and stop when you are full! Don't over eat, you can always take the leftovers home for later!

Eat fresh foods and not processed foods!
Find naturally packaged fruit, veggies, and lean meats.

Every workout should start with a 15-30 minute cardio session. Cardio can be jogging, biking, jumping rope, or really anything you enjoy that gets your heart rate up. Then try these four simple moves, 3 times each, with a minute in between each circuit, and you'll have toned arms and legs!

Move 1: Lunge and Hit

1. Start in a fighting stance
    Legs bent slightly
    Feet shoulder width apart
    Fists up

2. Lunge with your left leg
    Throw a punch with your left arm at same time
    Go back to starting position
    Do 10 times with your left
    Then do the same move, 10 times with your right

Move 2: Load Up and Kick

1. Start in same fighting stance
    Rotate your left foot, so toes point left

2. Bring left knee up to 90 degrees

3. Kick your left leg to the side so it's parallel to the floor

Hint: the leg you are not kicking will feel the burn!

Do ten on each side!

Move 3: Duck and Strike

1. Duck to kneel on right knee with left knee up
   Hands under shoulders

2.  Kick your right leg up and straight out behind you
     Keep your foot flexed
     Stand again, repeat the duck

Do ten on each side!

Repeat (1-2-3-4 ; right, left, right, left)

Then...
3. Bend right arm
     Bring elbow to shoulder level

4. Twist at hips
    Throw elbow across body

Do this with both arms
Each for one minute

Healthy Snacks!

Hungry in the morning?
Skinny Latte is the perfect breakfast!
Creamy latte made with skim milk is lighter than those sugary energy drinks or filling Starbucks coffees!







Hungry before lunch? Who isn't?
Recharge with a fruit & nut bar!
Cookies and chips are useless and unsatisfying calories.
Fruit and nut bars are full of protein and they're good calories.





Everyone needs a quick after-school snack.
Try out mexi-crackers, they're super easy!
Spread two wedges of Laughing Cow Light cheese 
on 8 whole grain crackers and put a dab of salsa on top.





Need energy before a big game or a long night of studying? 

Jelly beans are the perfect amount of sugar and do not stay in your stomach for long so you won't feel weighed down!










Late-night treats are always the best part of the day!






Try Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches!

"Mom Jeans"



I don't see any "mom jeans" here. Only Jessica Simpson, a beautiful performer with a great body. She's stunning!

Get The Facts


Anorexia is self-starvation that causes extreme weight loss. 

People who have anorexia nervosa are typically below normal weight for their body type, age, and activity level. 

These people fear gaining weight or being what is considered “fat”, and these feelings are typically extreme. 

They see themselves differently than others see them and the sickness causes people to feel “fat” although they are losing weight rapidly. 

It is important for people to know the affects of anorexia and realize it truly is a disease that needs attention, treatment, and support. 

People with anorexia cannot just stop this obsessive behavior and need professional help and the support of family and friends
