Part of looking beautiful while pregnant is gaining the necessary amount of weight to properly nourish your baby. Pregnant woman should eat between 2000 and 2500 calories each day, spread throughout 4 meals. Paying attention to your caloric intake will help you avoid gaining unnecessary weight that may put you at risk for certain medical conditions. You should gain the weight necessary to provide adequate nutrition for your baby and to allow him to grow to a healthy size, but you should pay close attention to  gaining the appropriate amount of weight, which will keep you feeling beautiful throughout all three trimesters of your pregnancy. If you have gained more weight then you planned (or more than your doctor deems healthy) you may need to lose weight. It is important to take great caution when attempting to lose weight while pregnant to ensure that your weight loss does not negatively affect your baby. If consistent exercise made you feel confident and beautiful before your pregnancy, there is no reason that pregnancy should force you to stop (although you may need to alter your workout routine). Feeling fit and strong will make you feel more confident about the way you look and will also help in getting you pre-pregnancy body back after you give birth. Getting exercise during your pregnancy will help you keep your weight down, will boost your mood and energy level, and will increase your stamina and muscle strength. Together, these positive results will help you to feel more beautiful.  Consider attempting to get 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week. Walking, aerobics, and swimming are all great low-impact activities that you may want to try during your pregnancy. These activities will help you stay in shape and feel beautiful. Always confer with your doctor before starting a workout routine when pregnant. There are certain situations, such as if you have pregnancy-related high blood pressure, in which your doctor may advise you not to exercise. Dehydration is a very real risk during pregnancy, and drinking enough water will help you feel healthy and look beautiful. While a person should attempt to drink roughly one-half to one ounce of water for each pound that he weighs every day, a pregnant woman must pay even more attention to her water intake. Water helps form the placenta and is used in the amniotic sac in your pregnancy. In addition, not drinking enough water can have a negative effect on your appearance. Dehydration can make your skin look dull, negating the beautiful glow that will accompany your pregnancy. In addition, dehydration can make you feel sluggish and ill, and it is hard to look beautiful when you are not feeling up to par. It is recommended that pregnant women drink about 10 cups (or 2.3 liters) of fluids daily. Drinking water for the majority of this requirement will help you avoid the sugars present in fruit drinks and sodas.

summary: Pay attention to your diet. Exercise consistently. Drink enough water.


Summarize the following:
The low sitting bridge will divide the long vertical line of your nose more evenly, so the bottom portion of your nose--the portion that the eye naturally catches--will seem smaller. A wide bridge creates a stronger, more visible divide.  Larger frames are generally a better option than smaller ones. The large frames can compete with the size of your nose and help balance it out, but smaller frames can draw more attention to the size of your nose. The other option is to go for contacts. Since glasses sit at the top of your nose, they do draw some attention to that area of your face. Getting contacts avoids this issue completely. Your ears and nose share the same horizontal space on your face. Short, dainty earrings can draw attention to this horizontal space, which could also draw attention to your nose. Larger earrings that extend below the ear enlarge the sides of this horizontal space, making the nose at the center of this space appear smaller by comparison.  If you do not want to wear long earrings, at least choose short earrings that cover the earlobes completely. This will draw more attention to the sides of this horizontal space, which can help draw attention off your nose. Rounded earrings that occupy both horizontal and vertical space are better than earrings that only add a vertical dimension. Earrings that emphasize straight, vertical lines will also emphasize the straight, vertical line of the nose. Both men and women should look for hat styles that have a rounded or down-turned brim at the front of the face. A brim that hangs down over the front of the face can visually build out the forehead. As a result, the nose appears shorter and more proportionate.  Avoid "tricorne" styles, which meet at a point above the forehead. Hats that have a larger brim in the front than in the back may build out the forehead better than those with an even brim all around. Make sure that the crown does not pinch in too tightly toward the front of the face. Ideally, this crown should also be of medium height to maintain better visual balance, and it should not taper in much toward the top. Consider choosing a hat with a wide, colorful band above the brim. This band can draw the eye up and away from the nose.

summary: Choose glasses with a wide, low bridge. Wear large earrings. Pick a hat with a prominent brim.


Summarize the following:
Although your behavior is certainly a big part of who you are, it isn't everything and doesn't point to everything you're capable of doing. Think about great artists, athletes, musicians, and business people who started out small and may have been rejected at first. Your sense of self doesn't need to depend entirely on your current or past behavior. Instead of taking criticism as a personal attack on your worth as a person, think of it as localized to the particular action being discussed. If you're being criticized for writing a bad essay, consider the fact that with practice you could write a better essay. Accept the criticism without over-generalizing. Be generous about the other person's intent. They may actually want to offer constructive criticism and help you do a better job in the future. After hearing them out, you can assess whether their intentions are good or if they're simply attacking you. If it's an attack, you can simply disregard what they're saying.  Avoid taking "good" criticism personally. Receiving constructive criticism is actually an important part of learning how to improve your abilities. For example, if you are taking an English class and the teacher points our an error in your writing, thank her for her input, which will help you become a better writer. Research shows that the ability to be vulnerable is tied to being successful and happy. Being willing to listen to criticism is an important form of vulnerability. If the criticism is targeted toward a specific behavior and you do see room for improvement, be thankful for the attention brought to your performance, so that you can correct the mistake. Criticism can actually contain gifts that lead to a better version of yourself, even if the person's intentions aren't kind. Be patient with yourself. Self-improvement can be a powerful force in your life, but self-compassion is an essential component to positive growth. Practice makes perfect, so consider this experience an opportunity to hone your criticism-handling skills. Thank the person for giving you an occasion to practice the behaviors listed in this guide. Only thank the person if it's genuine! Sarcasm may feel satisfying in the moment, but it's a hostile mode of communication that's frequently perceived as negative and can create additional friction between you.
summary: Separate yourself from the criticism. Hear the person out. Do better next time. Use the experience to grow.
