"The way you treat yourself sets the standard for others."
—Sonya Friedman

Many of the things outlined below related directly to Principle #1 of our Warrior of Wellness Program—Put yourself first.

We can be our worse critic. Often times, we are more judgmental of ourselves that we would ever even think of being of others. We treat ourselves unfairly. If you don't love and take care of yourself first, how can you expect others to? If you truly want to live a healthy lifestyle, you must put yourself first. You must love yourself. (This includes talking to yourself in a positive manner.) You must take care of yourself. (This means exercising, eating nutritious foods and reducing stress.)

Here are 10 things to stop doing if you're trying to live a healthy lifestyle.

I think the standard advice for weight gain during pregnancy is something like 15-25 pounds. I’m really not one for goal-setting. (I know, I know.) But, that’s one goal I knocked out of the park! My doctors and midwives must have been impressed when I hit the 65-pound mark. I’ve always been competitive and those pounds came easily.

Not only do I have a competitive spirit, but I love sports. In high school I was a, mediocre at best, three sport athlete. I spent as much time as possible on the volleyball court or softball field. My dad would come to basketball practice and we’d pitch in the gym after I got done running up and down the court for two hours. I’d get up in the morning and run with my friend and neighbor a couple of miles each morning. There was no shortage of activity for me. However, I’ve also always been “an eater.” Eating always was, and still is, hands down, one of my all-time favorite activities.
