Make it your goal to cut out soft drinks!! I’m talking like, MAYBE one a month. Yess, we all agree that they’re delicious and lurking everywhere, but here are some reasons to stop drinking sodas:

1. No nutritionally beneficial components whatsoever!

2. Your risk of obesity increases 1.6 times. 

3. It increases your risk of diabetes.

4. Erodes and stains your teeth!

5. Can damage your kidneys.

6. Increases blood pressure.

7. Can cause heartburn.

8. It dehydrates you!

So, in short, no more soda if you want to get not only skinny, but healthy, too. 

LOVE those Nikes!!! I’m pretty sure that a brand new pair of Nikes could get anyone motivated to get in shape!

GOAL!

Keep a food diary!!

Write down EVERYTHING. Be completely honest with yourself. Do it immediately after you eat something, so you don’t forget. It’s just like keeping track of your finances, you have to see what you’re allowed.
