During my freshman year, two of my friends and I tried to stay healthy by cutting out junk food for a month. It can seem ridiculous how 14 year old girls could worry about losing weight and all but when feeling judged by everyone, this is the plan we resorted to:
1. No candy or chocolate
2. Eat more fruits and vegetables
3. Do 40 crunches a day (if you miss one day try to double up on the next day if you have time)
4. Do not eat deep-fried food (french fries, chicken, okra, shrimp)
5. Drink only water and milk; no soda
6. With pizza, only eat one slice with either cheese, vegetables, or ham.
Although we had good intentions when starting this pact, it fell through about two weeks after we started. I think that once high school classes had kicked in full gear, we stopped caring about what we were eating as long as it was giving us energy. In the end, I think it was worth a shot at trying to be healthier.
