Problem: Article: One of the best ways to show your parents that you're responsible is to do as well as possible in school. That means studying for tests, getting all of your homework done, and turning in reports and projects on time. If they know that you take your school work seriously without them having to push you, they can start to see that you're ready for extra responsibilities, such as staying home alone. If you're having trouble with a certain subject in school, show you're responsible by asking for help. See if your teacher can meet with you after school, or ask about how you might get a tutor. You can also ask your parents or siblings for help if it's a subject that they know something about. If you get a poor grade on a test or report, be honest with your parents about it. Try to explain why you didn't do as well on it as you hoped. If you don't try to hide a bad grade from them, your parents will know that they can trust you. Doing household tasks without having to be reminded is another way to show your parents how responsible you are. They will definitely notice if you make your bed or take out the garbage without them having to nag you. If you have trouble remembering your chores, make a chart of all the things you have to do and when you have to do them, so you can hang it in your room as a reminder. If your parents ask you and your siblings to do a certain task, such as help bring the groceries in from the car, you can score points by volunteering. You can also make a big impression by doings chores that you haven't been asked to do. For example, if you notice that the yard is covered with leaves, rake the lawn so your parents don't have to do it. When you're parents are busy with housework or other tasks, you might offer to watch your younger sibling(s) or help them with their homework to remind them how responsible you are. If you have family pets, it's a good idea to help care for them too. Take the dog for a walk when he needs to go, refill the cat's water dish when it's empty, or clean the bird's cage when you notice that it's dirty. Your parents will see you as responsible if they know that you follow the rules that they've set. Make sure to follow all of them without complaining too much. For example, If your parents tell you that you're only allowed a certain amount of time on the internet each day, don't try to sneak extra time or whine about how your friends can go online whenever they want. Be respectful of the rules, so your parents know that you respect them. If there are certain rules that you need to bend on occasion, talk to your parents about them. For example, if you're supposed to go to bed at a certain time but the movie or sporting event that you wanted to watch won't be over yet, ask your parents if they can make an exception that one night. Your parents may not want to leave you alone because they want to spend quality time with you. Maybe they're heading to the movies, and they'd like you to come along. Their feelings might be hurt if you tell them you'd rather stay home by yourself. Making time for your parents could increase the chance they let you stay home in the future. When your parents ask you to come with them to an event or activity that you find interesting, say yes! Maybe they'll let you stay behind when they go to a more boring event later on.
Summary: Do well in school. Complete your chores. Obey the rules. Spend quality time with your parents.

Being clear about your reasons and your goals can help you choose an eating plan that makes sense and pays off for you in the way that you hope it will. Manage diabetes. If you've been diagnosed with diabetes, changing your eating habits is a must. Reducing or eliminating sugar from your diet is key to living well with this disease. Reduce your risk of heart disease. Eating foods that will bring down your cholesterol levels and help rid you of excess belly fat can decrease your risk for heart disease. Drop that baby weight. Putting on extra pounds is part of any pregnancy, but at a certain point you may decide that baby fat looks best on your baby and be ready to get back to your pre-pregnancy weight. Get ready for swim suit season. Lots of folks go into diet mode when the weather warms up and the prospect of putting on a swim suit is downright frightening. Sometimes just small changes in your diet can make the difference between being bikini-ready or swim-trunk-terrified. You might be interested in adding muscle and putting on some extra weight in a way that's healthy. Protein is integral in developing muscle mass, so your diet should focus on maximizing the daily amount of recommended protein. Before you take on any new eating plan, it's best to consult with a physician to make sure a diet won't prove dangerous for you. Let your physician know your plan for dieting. Anything under 1200 calories a day can be dangerous. Michelle May, a weight management doctor says, "Rapid weight loss by critical calorie restriction causes water, some fat, and muscle loss, which ultimately decreases metabolism so the body needs fewer calories to survive." It also causes a shift toward a higher percentage of body fat, which increases the risk for metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. Some people use calories as a way to measure their target food consumption, others base their diet on grams (of protein, whole grains, etc.), while some create lists of foods to eat more of and foods to eat less of. Decide how you'll approach your diet. Review your prescription medications with your doctor. It's important to be sure that your diet plans are in sync with any nutritional guidelines that may be associated with the prescriptions you take. For example, if you take ACE inhibitors to lower your blood pressure you need to watch your intake of bananas, oranges and green leafy vegetables. If you've been prescribed tetracycline you may need to avoid dairy products during the period you take the drug. Before you change what you're doing, you need to know what you do now. Keep track of what, when and where you eat for insight into your current eating habits. Keep a food diary. Put a journal in the kitchen or next to your bed and write down what you eat (meals, snacks, those little "tastes" from your friend's plate--all of it), the time of day that you eat and where you eat (kitchen table, sofa, bed). Track online. Several websites offer online tools that allow you to track your eating habits electronically. If it's as close as your smartphone, it should be easy for you to keep track. We all have different eating habits and "triggers" that can cause us to overeat. Being aware of yours is the first step in managing them as part of your new eating plan. Stress. One of the biggest causes of overeating is stress. When we feel under-the-gun or anxious, we often turn to food for comfort. If this is a problem area for you, you may need to include stress management techniques or stock healthier food options to deal with this trigger. Fatigue. When we're tired we're less likely to make good food choices. If you realize you often eat while tired, you'll need to think about how you can get more rest and make sure that you grocery shop when you're feeling your most rested and focused. Loneliness or boredom. Friends all out of town? Can't find something to do? If you discover that you turn to food when you're on your own, you might want to think about supplementing your new diet with some new activities or hobbies that will get you out of the house, keep you engaged and stop you from overeating. Excessive hunger. If you put off eating because of a busy schedule, you may discover that by the time you sit down to dinner you're ravenous and eat everything in sight. If this is a problem area for you, think of how you can schedule mini-meal breaks in your new eating plan.
