"I-I like you." I finally had the courage to confess to Max, my crush! I was so excited to hand him the box of chocolates when suddenly a hand knocked it over...What the? Richie: "Ohhh Maya, thought you could just confess your love to Max and you two would run off into the sunset? HAH, Don't you know, no one likes an elephant! How pathetic! I mean, you could probably crush Max into two with how big you are!" My stomach dropped. Max stood there staring at me in shock while everyone around me started laughing, they were all... laughing at ME! I wished the ground would just swallow me whole. How could Richie say such horrible things ! As soon as I got home, I started researching different ways to lose weight... I hated the way Richie looked at me, and it wasn't like I haven't tried to lose weight before . You see, I used to take diet pills but I was almost sent to the hospital. And after that didn't work, I started controlling my food. At first, it really worked! I was quickly losing weight until one day, I had starved myself so much that I ended up passing out in the middle of the soccer field.

It might seem likes it's easy but being a girl is tough! Especially if you're fighting over a guy with none other than the most popular girl at school, Richie ! After a few hours of searching, I found this new diet. It said that instead of restricting one's food, you should eat a full meal 3 times a day and just cut out certain foods from your diet. Because the body still needs carbohydrates but instead of white rice, you can switch to brown rice or even whole wheat bread The more I looked into this, the more excited I was getting! So many people were sharing their personal journey on this diet with before - after photos! People even posted what they ate each day on IG so there were lots of recipes I could follow. And the most important part of this diet was that you needed to sleep properly! This was because your sleep cycle directly affects how your body digests food and takes in nutrients . The first two weeks on my new diet was so difficult! I had constantly had to stop myself from eating whatever I wanted. For instance, I would always have two bubble teas every single day and I never liked drinking water. I was also super addicted to fried foods and chips as my daily snack. So to keep my motivations up, I stuck a picture of ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rw_M7qsY3RM
