Be Confidence
Confidence isn't something we're born with. We admire the girl who lights up any room she walks in to, Who always knows exactly what to say and how to say it, Who carries herself with grace and poise and has a constant smile on her face. We wanna to be that girl.
Anyone can work to improve their self-esteem, says Lynda Field, a life coach who published her latest book, The Self Esteem Coach, earlier this year.
When you feel happy on the inside, it shows on the outside, so it's worth taking the time to reflect on your state of mind.
To be yourself and stop those body worries. Believe only you can help you and stay positive, share the love and take some "me" time.To keep your self-confidence peaking, you've got to look after your body and mind.
Working on your confidence is a life-long task, so you don't have to rush; just making a few improvements here and there will set you on the road to success.

Memory
I always tell my friends my brain is frozen after pregnant. I forgot to take the cell-phone or the keys when go out. I could not remember what I was asked to do. Sometimes the poor memory can lead me some pretty embarassing situations. I always remember my friends' birthday on the next day. I always forget to buy friuts as my husband told me.
Are there ways to make sure things stick in my memory ? I will appreciate if some one can help me to have a amazing memory.

Healthy Diet During pregnancy
Have been pregnant for more than 7 months, my weight gain more than 30 pounds. It's terrible! For one thing, I am always feel hungry so I need to eat an eat. For the second, I am told the baby need nutrition so I have to eat more. The result is I eat too much and weight gain too much. My doctor told me there is too much cholesterol in my body so I began to control my diet.
Now I changed my diet to increase intake of fruit and vegetables, dairy produce in all forms, well-cooked meat, fish, whole grains and cereals. Avoid high fat and sugary foods with low nutritional value.
I want chocolate sometimes but my husband always tell me to control my cravings because weight will be harder to lose after the birth. OK. Do not let me see the sweets.
For both the baby and my healthy, I would like to control diet.

Pregnancy
Growing a baby for 9 months will take a whole lot of energy and a massive toll on your body - it's no easy feat making another human being! No-one will escape is tiredness in pregnancy.
Excessive tiredness is common during the 1st trimester of pregnancy because of the hormonal changes, and the nausea and sickness which reduce your food intake.
It's also possible at the end of pregnancy, especially if you're sleeping badly, expecting twins, already have other children to look after, etc.
Tiredness in pregnancy is totally normal, but if you find yourself feeling constantly run down and never wanting to get out of bed it can be hard to think about anything else.
Try to rest as much as you can throughout your pregnancy. And ask your partner, family, friends or neighbors to help out with household tasks and shopping.
An iron supplement is often recommended during the last two trimesters of pregnancy, particulary when pregnancies have been close together or if you're expecting twins. Speak to your doctor or midwife who will advise you on any supplements you may need to take.

Get Sunlight to Lose Weight
You know your day would be way more efficient if you could just drag yourself out of bed before work and fit in your workout. But executing this healthy plan is way easier said than done. If you’re looking for more motivation to get up and get moving, a new study from Northwestern Medicine might give you that extra push.
The April 2014 study of 54 participants (men and women with an average age of 30) found that people who got the majority of their daily light exposure in the morning had a significantly lower BMI than those who didn’t get much exposure until later in the day.
This connection was independent of each person’s physical activity level, caloric intake, sleep timing, age or season. Researchers point to sunlight’s role in regulating our circadian rhythm as the explanation for its effect on BMI.
"Light is the most potent agent to synchronize your internal body clock that regulates circadian rhythms, which in turn also regulate energy balance," says study senior author Phyllis C. Zee, M.D. "If a person doesn't get sufficient light at the appropriate time of day, it could de-synchronize your internal body clock, which is known to alter metabolism and can lead to weight gain.”
If you spend the majority of your day sitting inside at a desk, you know how tough it is to squeeze in some sun. And although indoor lighting counts, most people work in poorly lit environments, making it hard to reach the minimum threshold that researchers say will help lower BMI.
This connection between light and BMI has potential to open up new weight loss strategies. “Just like people are trying to get more sleep to help them lose weight, perhaps manipulating light is another way to lose weight,” says co-lead author Kathryn Reid, research associate professor of neurology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.
