SO YOU THINK YOU'RE A BAD WRITER? - Part Two

More writing tips . . .


Competent writers always review and edit what they have written.  A first draft is just that.  No one ever submits his or her first attempt without editing it.  Better yet, have someone else who is a good editor review your writing before you submit it to a broader audience.  Find someone who is a careful proofreader to check for typos and grammar.  This person doesn't have to be a professional, just have a keen eye.  Bad writers do not review anything.  It may seem time-consuming and difficult, given all the deadlines we face, but in the long run editing our work is time well-spent.

HOW TO LOSE IT - Part Two

More weight loss tips . . .


Don't go grocery shopping when you're hungry and avoid the snack food aisles.  Buy only healthy foods and stick to a shopping list.  If you must buy fattening foods for other members of your family, purchase versions you don't like.


Avoid situations that trigger overeating.  Choose routes to and from your daily activities that don't involve passing places that have given you trouble with food in the past.


Don't watch TV while eating.  Studies show that eating food in front of the TV stimulates people to eat more calories -- nearly 140 more calories per day, which adds up to an extra 14 pounds per year.
