Problem: Article: You and a friend or relative could support each other, hold each other accountable, and make dieting fun. You could go grocery shopping together, cook with each other, and organize a weekly healthy potluck. If you can’t recruit a friend or relative to join you, have someone to check in with you about your dietary changes. Ask them to remind you to stay on track, and give them a call if you feel tempted to cheat on your diet. Large plates make moderate portion sizes look tiny. Smaller plates can make your meals appear more satisfying and help curb the temptation to heap on extra food. You’re more likely to make healthy choices if you plan what to order ahead of time. Choose a restaurant in advance, and search for their menu online. Look for low-fat meals, such as baked fish with steamed veggies or grilled chicken breast over a salad. If an entree comes with a fatty side dish, call the restaurant and ask if you could substitute it with a healthier option. For instance, ask if they’d let you swap fries for fruit or mixed greens. Celebrate your successes, such as going a week without a cheat meal or unhealthy snack, reducing your body fat percentage, or losing weight. You could buy yourself a reward, like music, a video game, or an accessory, or take an afternoon off to relax.  Choose small, frequent rewards for daily or weekly goals. For larger achievements, like 6 month or 1 year milestones, more substantial rewards could be a spa day, a day or weekend trip, or a new gadget. Avoid using snacks or a day off from your healthy diet as rewards. Nobody is perfect, so don’t be hard on yourself if you indulge in a cheat meal or snack. Acknowledge that you had a setback, then move on. Remind yourself of your health goals, continue on with your routine, and don’t give up just because you slipped.
Summary: Ask friends or relatives to eat healthier with you. Try using smaller plates to make your meals look bigger. Check restaurant menus ahead of time when you go out to eat. Motivate yourself with non-food rewards. Don’t let setbacks discourage you.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Fingerless gloves were very popular, especially when paired with a more punk look with denim and lace.  Lace gloves are preferable, but any gloves will work. The earrings do not have to match each other.  Wearing two different large earrings—for a man or a woman—was quite popular.  If they are a bright color that either matches or contrasts your outfit, even better!  If no chunky colorful or feather earrings are available, gold hoop earrings will work. Repeat.  Layering on many different chunky necklaces will help create a punk 80s look.  Thick chains or beads were popular, and the inclusion of a crucifix was common as well.  The more necklaces, the better.  You may also want to layer on several different types of bangle and chunky bracelets in contrasting metals. Large sunglasses with plastic rims were very popular in the decade, even indoors or at night.  Cheap children’s sunglasses with bright earpieces are very similar to popular 80s sunglasses.  Gold-rimmed glasses were also popular and can often be found at party stores. Classic 80s makeup included dark lipstick (for women and for punk men!) and very bright eye shadow.  The eye shadow can be applied over the entire lid of the eye, to the eyebrows.  Some 80s celebrities experimented with multiple eye shadow colors at one time, making two to three blocks of color. A wide sweatband over your hair (preferably over a mullet) will give you an 80s look.  This accessory works best with the 80s workout attire: either a matching velour sweatsuit or leotard/tights/legwarmer combination.
Summary:
Cut the fingers out of gloves. Wear big earrings. Find chunky necklaces. Wear big sunglasses. Apply 80s makeup styles. Wear a sweat band.
