1. Juice Cleansing and DetoxingAre you treating your body poorly during the times in between with sugar, alcohol, nicotine and caffeine? Are you trying to lose weight? Do you constantly feel bloated or have bad skin breakouts?A juice cleanse can’t solve these long-term.

Consider changing your daily habits instead.

2. Diet SodaI realized I needed it most when I was 1) thirsty and 2) tired or bored.

When I really want the fizz, I drink seltzer. Whatever your vice may be, what are its triggers? What can you replace it with? Start there. Even just acknowledging them can set the wheels of change in motion.

3. Negative Self TalkDon’t do it. Yes, it’s going to be difficult. At times, near impossible. Do whatever you have to do — put down the magazines, log off the Internet, call a friend, post affirmations on your mirror.

If you wouldn’t say it to a child, don’t say it to yourself.

4. Skipping MealsIf this is a regular occurrence for you, make it a point to set aside time to sit down and eat. It prevents overeating later on and keeps your metabolism steady.

You — and your waistline — will be glad you did.

5. Dining Out and/or Relying on Takeout for Every MealIt’s the best thing I’ve ever done for my health. Sometimes it does feel easier to order in or go out and there are times when you should, but more often than not, cook at home. It’s the single, best way to lose those last 5 pounds, de-bloat and save money.

6. Dating Bad Boys

Yes, they’re fun and exciting but the thrills will only get you through a night, not a lifetime.

Spend some time alone, cultivate self love, know your worth and how you want to feel with a partner then don’t settle for anything less.

7. Staying Up Past Your BedtimeResist the urge to catch up on Gossip Girl. It certainly can’t rev your metabolism and slow aging the way rest can. Sleep is free and one of the best things you can do for your body.

So get lots of it. 8 hours a night, missy!

8. Binge DrinkingIt’s unattractive, makes you feel like crap and eat more crap. And the older you get, the longer you’ll feel like crap. Have fun, be present and know your limits.

9. Fad DietsVegan, Paleo, Gluten-free and the list goes on!There will always be a new diet or popular way of eating

The real challenge is knowing what works for you. If you find yourself jumping from fad diet to fad diet, take a step back and explore what your body really needs.

11. Putting Your Dreams and Desires on Hold

If you wait to be ready you’ll never be ready. The time is N-O-W. If you take a step forward in the direction of your dreams, the odds are you’ll only keep moving that way.
