College is new and stressful. A perfect precursor to eating all the comfort foods that remind you of mom. College offers the freedom of choice. That is wonderful, but without setting limitations, that freedom can mean overeating, poor nutrition and weight gain. College often means an erratic schedule.
College is party time.
When you drink you consumer the calories of the alcohol, plus you eat worse, a recipe for disaster, unless you know how to work it into your plan for healthy living. Be smart about what you drink. Doing so will ensure that you've got something on hand to fit your every mood and help you get your 6 glasses of water a day. Buy your favorite snacks in smaller sizes - individual portions are best. Choosing the big, economy size of your favorite cereal or snack may seem financially wise, but it's a sure-fire way to sabotage yourself.
