New Year's Resolutions

Well 2012 is only a few hours away so I thought I would write about New Year's Resolutions. Resolutions can be great ways to stay healthy or to get healthy, but they can also be very dangerous.
Here is a poplar resolution among teenage girls that can be good or bad depending on the person: dropping a dress size before prom.
This resolution can be very good for a girl because it can be a great motivator to get into shape, like the girls I have seen working out in my school's weight room after school. But it could also be very dangerous for girls because they could crash diet or contract another very serious eating disorder to get the body they want.
My advice is to cut back on junk food but to let yourself indulge every now and then. Along with eating right lift weights and go running, there are lots of good workout plans online if you look hard enough. If you are having problems getting motivated, challenge a friend of yours with the same resolution to see who can lose the most weight before prom.
But if you do challenge your friend make sure you set these simple ground rules: you have to lose the weight healthily which means eating healthier food and working out. No scary diets that only let you eat one baby carrot a day or anything like that!! If you follow these safe rules you should be able to find that perfect dress in a smaller size in no time!!
