It’s September! The weather’s changing, the leaves are darkening, and it’s time to say goodbye to those bikinis and short-shorts. But wait!!!! Sweater weather doesn’t mean it’s time to stop feeling bad about your body! What’s your back-to-school diet gonna be? You have one, right? Because if you don’t, you will never impress the b-o-y-s, and if you don’t snag a guy, your life will suck for as long as the last “F” in BFF!

Here are our fall dieting secrets! We don’t mind sharing them with you, you probably need them!

YOU WANT TO EAT:

 

2 slices pepperoni pizza
1 8 oz. glass of cola soft drink
1 cup mixed greens with 2 oz. ranch dressing

You’ve been working hard at school all day, usually sandwiched between the kid that smells like eggs and the girl who loves talking about her bra. All you want is to sink your teeth into a hot, saucy slice of pizza—its fluffy dough complemented by melting cheese and crisp, succulent rounds of delicious pepperoni. Paired with a light salad and all washed down with a cool, refreshing soda. But hey, girl, think of those hips! With over 800 calories, this is no meal for a true independent woman. Those rolls of dough will soon be rolls of fat!

INSTEAD, TRY:

 

A handful of saltines
1 overripe tomato
Half a string of string cheese

It’s like a pizza without eating any pizza!


YOU WANT TO EAT:

 

6 oz. grilled chicken breast
1 cup mixed vegetables
½ cup pasta with marinara sauce
8 oz. glass of milk

The classic “healthy” and “balanced” meal, right? WRONG! Don’t let all those magazines and medical professionals fool you! This meal can run up to 600 calories, changing “lasting energy” to lasting love handles. Remember, it’s not your meal that’s going to judge you at Da (the) Club (club) tonight. So instead try this Board of Health Certified Meal:*

* Note: “Board of Health” is what we call a stick we’ve drawn a stethoscope on (so cute!!).

INSTEAD, TRY:

 

1 picture of grilled chicken
1 YouTube video of someone preparing pasta
½ a celery stick
1 magazine’s “Body Issue”


YOU WANT TO EAT:

 

1 granola bar
½ cup chopped banana
1 teaspoon peanut butter
1 cup sports drink

So you’re finally taking your health seriously and preparing a nice pre-workout snack. Thank god, fatso! Just kidding about that “fatso” thing ladies, you look great! Also, fat. But LOOK OUT, ’cause that banana and peanut butter are laced with all sorts of calories and chemicals (probably).

INSTEAD, TRY:

Remember, everyone—being skinny isn’t everything. In fact, personal health should always be regarded as your first priority, with weight being only one indicator of general wellbeing among many. That said, being skinny is everything. And, if you follow this simple guide, maybe someday you can be skinny enough to be happy. Just kidding! You’ll never be skinny enough! Hugs and kisses (but not the chocolate kind LOL).
