Hi Katie,
“I need to lose some weight before summer. I’m really active and play sports a lot but
It’s hard for me to get the weight off. I love junk food. Any tips?”

Dear Mary,
You can exercise as much as you want, but if you are still eating junk food you are going to have trouble loosing weight…you will most likely just maintain you current weight. The best thing to do would be to try and find healthier options rather than what you are currently eating.
Now this doesn’t mean that you have to live off of celery sticks and water. You can still have foods that taste good but that are better for you. Good tasting healthy foods that I love are fruit, frozen yogurt, spinach, string cheese, steamed veggies, herbal tea.
And let yourself have some naughty foods once in a while, that is just fine! As long as you don’t overindulge. The quantity you eat is the most important factor to monitor. Cause no matter what food you eat, if you eat a TON of it you will gain weight. So try not to obsess about calories and what the scale says. Try to just focus on nourishing your body and putting good foods in that will make you feel good about eating it.
Also let your mom know that you would like to get healthier and to stop buying junk food for the house so that you are not tempted.
Good luck sweetie! xoxo Katie
