If you want to control your waistline and eat your way to better health, here are 10 things you need to do—starting today.

1 PRETEND YOU’RE A TAILOR.

Measure everything—your neck, chest, waist, arms, thighs, calves. Write it all down, and put it someplace where you’ll have to look at it every day. Record your weight, too, although that’s less important.

Your goal: Maintain or reduce the size of your waist while increasing the size of everything else. Repeat your measurements every 4 weeks.

Start your day with breakfast.
Breakfast fills your “empty tank” to get you going after a long night without food. And it can help you do better in school. Easy to prepare breakfasts include cold cereal with fruit and low-fat milk, whole-wheat toast with peanut butter, yogurt with fruit, whole-grain waffles or even last night’s pizza!
