In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Put it in the toilet and pretend to throw up. If this doesn't wake them up, go get them and tell them what just "happened". Don’t volunteer to get yourself ready for school. Instead, act like it is a difficult task for you to perform.  Slowly dress, but not too slowly. Skip a button on your shirt, don't comb your hair properly, and don't tie your shoelaces properly (or even at all). Have droopy eyes. Think of something sad and let your eyes water and droop. You can also rub them to give that slightly bloodshot look. Even if you got enough sleep the night before and don’t have natural bags under your eyes, there’s an easy way to fake it.  Take yours or your mom's light lavender or blueish eyeshadow. Mix in some water to make the color fade into a more natural tint. Rub it in well, but still make it noticeable. You could also take some vaseline and rub it under your eyes. You could also try adding some kind of pale makeup to make sure your parents know you are ill. A lack of appetite is especially symptomatic of not feeling well.  Your parents will be especially concerned if you love breakfast, or if they made your favorite breakfast treat. Sneak an extra snack when your parents aren't looking. You'll probably get hungry. When your parents decide to let you stay home, don't just shrug and agree.  Protest their decision (but only if you didn't have to convince them first). This reinforces the fact that you really are sick. Say, "But Mom, I'm going to have so much work to make up!" or "But I have a math test today!" or "I don't want to miss school because I might miss something Important!  If your parents know you don't care about tests or you always complain about tests, say "But I have band practice, or art class" or something they know you enjoy. Do not overdo it. Don't randomly state that you want to do a test if they know you don't care. This can backfire unless you're careful. Don't beg excessively to stay home, or your parents might know you are faking it.
Summary: Wake up before your parents and quietly make fake vomit. Be reluctant to get dressed. Fake bags under your eyes. Pick at your breakfast. Protest if they suggest you stay home.

You may be on a diet, but you still need to eat regularly to maintain a healthy metabolism and overall health.  Many diet and fitness experts warn against skipping meals while on a diet.  You should be eating a minimum of three meals a day, plus a snack or two. Even better, you might prefer to eat five to six small meals daily, which can stimulate your metabolism and keep you from ever getting too hungry.  It is important to space out your meals throughout the day.  Try to avoid going more than four hours without eating. This will keep your blood sugar and hormones more stable, and you will be less likely to have hunger pangs.  A major drop in blood sugar from not eating can cause cravings and an intense desire to eat, which can make it difficult to stick to a diet. Both protein and fiber have been shown to make you feel more satisfied with less food and keep you satisfied longer.  Protein and fiber take a longer time to digest compared to other foods (like refined carbohydrates).  This helps them to keep satisfied for several hours after your meal. Try to eat a protein bar or shake with at least 20 mg of protein. To make a more satisfying meal, combine protein-based foods with high fiber foods.   For example:  oatmeal with nuts and dried fruit, greek yogurt and raspberries, vegetable and bean soup, or grilled chicken over a salad. Some foods help keep you feeling satisfied longer. Whole foods, or those that are less processed, typically make you feel satisfied longer.  Processed foods are quickly digested and may leave you feeling more hungry compared to whole, unprocessed foods. Candy, chips or other foods high in sugar and fat, but low in nutrition, will leave you feeling hungry sooner than less processed foods. Try to make most of your meals mostly whole, unprocessed foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein. Certain types of exercise, such as high-intensity interval training, can suppress your appetite.  In addition, studies have shown that regular exercise helps your brain make better decisions throughout your day or week.  When you need to deal with food temptations, hunger cravings or emotional eating, regular exercise helps strengthen the executive function of your brain. Cardio is a great exercise to include, but also things like yoga can help people deal with issues in regard to emotional eating. Try to get 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise each week, plus 40 minutes of strength training. Mindful eating is a way of eating that may help you deal with your hunger more easily.  It helps bring your attention to your food and may help increase your overall satisfaction with your meals.  When you're eating, take your time.  If you eat too fast you may end up eating too much and feeling like you still want more food.  You didn't give your brain enough time to actually enjoy the meal. Force yourself to focus on your meal.  What are the tastes?  The textures?  How does it look?  When you force your brain to concentrate on the meal it might make it easier to eat a little less and feel satisfied with less.

Problem: Article: Use the end of a tail comb to part your hair down the center, separating all of your hair into two sections. Brush the sections and secure them with hair ties. Use two mirrors to check that the part is even in the back. Braid each pigtail, securing the ends with ribbon or hair ties a couple of inches from the bottom.  Britney Spears’ music video “Baby One More Time” made this schoolgirl hairstyle 90s famous!  Add fuzzy pom pom hair elastics to the pigtails near your head to finish the look. You can achieve 90s hair with box braids in two ways. Box braid your hair and put on a “cabbie” (also called “applejack”) hat like Janet Jackson in Poetic Justice. Alternately, box braid slightly damp hair and leave it in overnight. Braiding damp hair the night before will give you a hybrid between crimp and curl like Christina Aguilera in the 90’s music video “What A Girl Wants.” Micro braids take hours to do and are best done by a professional at a salon. If you already have micro braids, this look will be easy for you! If not, try a similar version of Brandy Norwood’s iconic 90s side buns by putting your hair in twists first. Secure the braids or twists in buns, one on each side of your head. Micro braids and box braids can be done with natural hair or by adding extensions. Extensions will add fullness, length, and longevity to your style.
Summary:
Make pigtail braids. Wear box braids. Put micro braids or twists in pigtail buns.
