Top Things to Do for Prom to Help You Feel Confident for the Big Day!

Get Ready for a Fun and Fabulous Prom Prom is a night when many girls want to look their absolute best. For some, a regimen leading up to prom can include crash dieting, aggressive exercise, and too many trips to the tanning booth.
Most likely that will just end in burnout and bloating.
Instead, achieve a sexy body with a milder but consistent approach.
Focus on health and the abs will follow.

Here is how to get ready for prom without going bonkers.

Eating Healthy Now how much food you can eat before your jeans get snug.
This is your maintenance.

Your activity level greatly affects this.
If you need to lose weight you must eat less, but master not overeating first. Choose whole foods like luscious fruit and tender meat.
Put down the stale cookies and limit the processed stuff.
Eat potatoes instead of potato chips, for example - this cuts down on additives and weird ingredients. Avoid crash diets and promises of miracle weight loss.
You will just end up walling in ice cream later.

Instead, eat a satisfying amount of healthy food.
Learn to cook so you are not at the mercy of Micky D's.
If you refuse to touch a stove, at least know the best places to eat out, like Chipotle. Eat as many vegetables and good fats (like avocado, olive oil, and pastured butter) as possible.
They will make your skin glow better than overpriced facial products.

Getting in Shape If you want to lose weight, try to get in some form of cardiovascular activity six days a week. We like hitting the elliptical or shaking it out in a zumba class (prom practice!).

Get off the couch. Staying active by cleaning, walking, and shopping can burn as many calories as a gym session.
And your house will look better. Weight train three days a week. Lifting weights will not bulk you up - it creates a slimmer, more sculpted shape. At the same time, remember to rest.

Your body only gets stronger when it's recovering.
If you are not sleeping well, catching colds, and dreading your workout, take some time off and have a bubble bath. Shopping for the Big Night Learn your body type (hourglass, pear, etc.
) and discover what clothes are most flattering.

This will make it easier to find a good dress.
Consider renting a high-quality dress if you only plan to wear it once. Test all makeup and perfume before purchasing.
You can rarely return makeup if the colors aren't what you thought.
Buy shoes after you have been walking around all day.

Your feet swell slightly as they day goes on, and you want to dance in comfortable shoes.

Not Going Hog-Wild Remember it's just one night.
You don't have to spend a fortune to have a good time. No one likes a troublesome drunk.

If you are old enough to drink, don't show up to your prom staggering up the steps. Even if prom is just one night, everything has consequences.

Do not do anything or anyone you may regret the next morning. In the Future.

If you've made changes in your life to feel better at prom, why stop? You can look just as good every day of the week.

Treasure your new habits and congratulate yourself for making positive changes!
