Article: If you don't know her well (or at all), be brave and tell her why you approached her. If you think she is really well spoken in English class, tell her that. If you think she's really beautiful and you'd love to get to know her personality, tell her that. “Playing it cool” can work sometimes, but if you don't know her at all, you should lay your cards on the table.  A good, respectful compliment is almost always appreciated. This will help her see you in a positive light right off the bat. Be genuine with your compliments. Don't just give her the compliments you think most girls would want to hear. What do you truly, genuinely like about her? If it's welcoming smile, tell her that. If it's her confidence, tell her that. If she can tell that your compliment is coming from your heart, it will mean much more. Whether it's one class you share, the neighborhood you live in, or a mutual friend, use it to strike up a conversation. If you can't think of anything specific that you have in conversation, you can even comment on the weather! Any shared experiences are helpful to get the conversation rolling, and to help make her feel more relaxed. If you truly cannot think of some similarity, that's fine. You can always ask her a question about something she is interested in that you're not familiar with. . The overused cliché to “be yourself” is so important in this situation. If the girl can tell you are being genuine and putting yourself out there, she will be much more likely to reciprocate. If she thinks you're trying to play a part or act like a person you aren't, she will have her guard up too. Not only does this make you look endearing, but it also saves you time! What's the point of going out with a girl who doesn't like your true personality? You can't act like someone you are not for very long. If you don't have much in common or any overlap with your social activities or circles, create common ground. Try talking about an upcoming school event, like  school play, a party, a sporting event, or anything you think she might be interested in. You could also talk about something in the news. The important thing is to find something, anything, to connect on, so that she can walk away from the conversation with a specific memory.  Asking her how she is and saying you're looking forward to the weekend is fine, but connecting on a specific topic will add much more substance to the conversation.

Compliment her. Find common ground. Be authentic Make a connection.
Article: Sometimes food allergies, hormonal issues, and medications can cause weight gain. Your doctor can help you determine if this might be the case for you. This could help you learn to better manage your condition or at least better understand your body. You could also try keeping a food diary to get an idea of how different foods affect your body. Write down what you eat and how you feel. Whether you’re trying to lose weight or just be as healthy as possible, eating well and getting an appropriate level of physical activity are important to your health. Ask your doctor to refer you to a registered dietitian. A dietitian can help you set realistic and safe goals for managing your obesity. Your dietitian might suggest different things depending on your weight, age, overall health, and any conditions that might be contributing to your obesity (such as a hormonal imbalance or a condition that limits your mobility). Sugars, even natural options, spike your blood sugar, which can make you get hungrier faster. You may even feel hungry when you are not. Additionally, sugars signal to your body to store fat. Skip foods that contain processed sugars, and limit how much fruit you eat.It's best to eat foods that don't contain sweeteners. Exercise can help you manage your weight, improve your mood, and keep your bones, joints and muscles healthy. Depending on your health and personal goals, you may need to exercise between 150 and 300 or more minutes per week. Talk to your doctor, dietitian, or physical therapist about what kind of exercise is healthy and appropriate for you.  If you’re not used to exercising, it can be tough to jump straight into working out or doing intense physical activity. Even making small changes to your daily routine can help, though. Try starting small (e.g., taking a 10-minute walk around your neighborhood every day) and working up to more intense exercise. Anything that boosts your heart rate can qualify as exercise, so choose fun activities that don't feel like exercise. For example, join friends to go ice skating, go on a hike, join a Live Action Role Playing (LARPing) group, dance, play an active video game, or play recreational sports. Just get moving! . It’s easier to take good care of yourself if you’re well-rested. Try to get at least 7-9 hours of sleep every night, or up to 10 hours if you’re a teen. In order to get a good night’s sleep:  Avoid napping for more than 30 minutes during the day. Don’t drink coffee or other caffeinated drinks within a few hours before you go to bed. Get into a regular bedtime routine. About half an hour before bed, unwind by taking a warm bath or shower, doing a little meditation, or reading a few chapters of a relaxing book. Put away your phone or other bright screens at least half an hour before going to bed. Make sure your room is comfortable (e.g., dark enough, quiet, and not too cold or too hot). . If your goals are too vague or ambitious, you’ll probably become frustrated and overwhelmed trying to meet them. Try to set goals that are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound. For example, instead of telling yourself, “I’m going to get fit,” try something like, “I’m going to work my way up to jogging for 30 minutes a day, 3 days a week by the end of this month.”
