I keep telling myself that I won’t gain the Freshmen 15 when I move into college, because I will work out every day in the brand new gym that I have access to. I neglected to think about the time in between. This summer after college applications, prom, and finally graduation, I had nothing left that I had to “look good” for. Or so I thought. In my 62 days of summer vacation, I have eaten so much yummy food, and visited all my favorite restaurants…with the excuse that it is my last summer before I leave and I will miss my Mom’s cooking and these wonderful places. I have three weeks left. Do I work out? Do I wait till I get to college? As someone who is working on her Girl Scout Gold Award to guide kids on being healthy, I have to make sure I follow my own advice.

I did the same thing! One of things I’m working on is only taking an amount I know I need, and asking myself if I need more. Hope it works!

When I get to college, to avoid the freshman 15, I plan on having healthy snacks in my room such as fruits and nuts instead of chips and candy!

I keep telling myself the same thing! Hopefully all that stress eating and midnight snacks that people always talk about don’t become a habit! Good luck with everything, as we both start a journey into the unknown! 🙂

I’m worried about the same thing(s)! Even with access to a good gym, we still need to find a way to motivate ourselves to exercise and stay fit. There’s going to be a lot of additional distractions in college that we don’t take into account, and it will definitely be hard to find time to exercise. But at some point we need to trust ourselves to make the right eating decisions and just be conscious, but not overly so, of what we put into our bodies.
