Write an article based on this "Take care of the basic details. Buy your gift for the bride. Pick out your outfit."
article: Place your flower order (if desired) and pick up any goods friends or neighbors have offered to lend -- CDs? Baskets? Cake dishes or punch bowls? Tea trays? Sound equipment? A pre-rolled red carpet? Make a grocery list for the food and drinks. Buy any hard-to-find ingredients now in case you foresee having any trouble. Grab the alcohol now, too, if you're having cocktails. As long as it's meaningful, it doesn't have to be large -- especially since you're throwing her the dang party! If she's a bit on the OCD side, ask the other bridesmaids and attendants what they've gotten her. They may have valuable input or you could join forces to purchase a larger gift. You could always offer to pay for part of the honeymoon! Hey, that's one less gift to open in the stream of gifts that will dominate (and possibly put the snooze button on) the party. Finally, a moment for you! Since you're the hostess, you have to look good, too! Here's the excuse to buy that new dress you've been looking at.

Write an article based on this "Record everything that you eat in your food journal. Keep your food journal with you wherever you go. Use your scale. Choose a token that reminds you to stay on track. Purchase high-quality clothing for yourself when you reach your goal weight."
article: When you overeat, write down any factors that triggered you to overeat. Identifying triggers like negative emotions, stress or even people who encourage poor habits so that you can address the problems in a healthier way. Choose a notebook that will fit in your purse or in your pocket. If you weigh yourself and find that you've gained 1 or 2 pounds, then you know that you need to get back on track. Don't allow your weight to continually creep upward; be proactive to address setbacks by always knowing how much you weigh. For instance, a photograph of yourself at your maximum weight or a nice ring or bracelet that you purchase as a weight loss reward can remind you of the benefits of losing weight even when you aren't feeling motivated. If you start to regain weight and to grow out of the clothing, then the expense of replacing it will motivate you to check your weight gain.

You can counteract the negative impact of being a scapegoat by cultivating healthy relationships. Plus, when you spend time around people who treat you fairly, you will stop accepting anything less. Identify the relationships in your life in which you feel valued, encouraged, and supported. Make an effort to enrich these relationships by showing appreciation for these people and dedicating more of your time to them. Make new friendships through support groups, professional organizations, or interest groups in your community. Lean towards people who appear emotionally healthy and don't blame you for their problems. Keep in mind that it is possible that you do not know what a healthy relationship looks like. This may be something that you will need to work on and a therapist can help you to develop the ability to recognize healthy relationships. Boundaries are the limitations where one person ends and another begins. In scapegoating relationships, these lines are all blurred. Stop allowing yourself to be scapegoated by setting firm boundaries. For instance, you might say to your business partner, "I will no longer tolerate being treated this way. If you want to continue having me as a partner, you will need to stop blaming me for the business failing." When your boundaries are violated and others try to put you back in the scapegoat role, speak out. Show them that you are unwilling to be the scapegoat by reasserting your boundaries. You might say to your scapegoating sibling, "No, I will not pay for your court fees. I told you that I will not be held responsible for your financial troubles." Keep in mind that after changing your boundaries, people will likely test your boundaries. They may try hard to make you give in, but it is important to hold firm in your boundaries. If others refuses to respect your boundaries, you may have to make the tough choice to cut ties. Decide whether it is best to minimize contact or cut contact completely with the offenders. Estrangement is a painful reality, but it may be necessary to help yourself get unstuck from the role of scapegoat. If the scapegoating happens in your family, you might cut ties. If it's happening at your job, you might try to switch departments or transfer to a new employer. Work with your therapist to decide the best route for handling family members, partners or close friends who insist on blaming you.
