Candy Land

It takes an iron will to eat right -fruits and veggies, water, not too much fast food, as we all are surrounded by delicious but potentially deadly foods full of sugar, fats and empty calories. And there's a lot more riding on sticking to a sensible diet than how good you'll look in fall's skinny jeans.

Weight gain is partially the fault of our junk food society, where fattening-less-than-nutritious fare is as nearby as your reach. While this maybe true, it's important to remember that you have the power to control your own health.

Treat your beautiful body well and it will take care of you, too.
