In the book “The Naked Roommate” by Harlan Cohen there are five tips that I could take out and apply to my life about my own health. The first of the five tips is “Freshman 15, or um 45”, I can apply this to my life because it applies to my weight. Being able to control my eating at my house where there aren't multiple fast food restaurants and an all you can eat buffet at Larson's commons was a lot easier than college. It can be hard to control myself from the temptations, but when I notice myself gaining weight it makes it a lot easier to want to go exercise and eat healthy.

And when I look in the mirror and can tell that I have gained weight I can’t stand it. But being able to accept myself in my own body is something that has greatly boosted my mental health and being happy. The third tip I was able to take out is “Expressing the College Eating Disorder”, because if I wasn't able to control myself I would also have an eating disorder. I tend to want to eat when I'm bored or have nothing to do, and thats when I make sure to keep myself occupied and control myself from eating any food. The fourth tip I took out was “The Most Important Relationship” because being happy with myself is my first concern.

Some of my friends who workout frequently could become my new workout buddies, and they would be the ones who push me to workout for more than an hour, and they would make sure I got a good workout in. I think by telling my parents they would be the ones who are the most positive reminders about it, they wouldn't bring up me not being able to do it. My biggest problem to not being able to lose weight is the way that I eat, there are days where I constantly snack and I have to fore myself to quit. What I would like to change the most is not letting myself eat another meal usually before I go to bed, I would like to stick to three main meals and than smaller snacks throughout the day. What I tend to do is eat more than three meals because I get hungry, but sometimes a smaller healthier snack could also hold me over. To help myself accomplish these goals I developing a self control program where I set short term and long term goal is essential. Some of these goals would be quit drinking pop overall, working out five days a week for an hour and losing up to 15
