1) You hear about a new diet that's guaranteed to make you lose five pounds a week. All you have to do is replace all food with water for the next month. Hmm...the prom is six weeks away and you're not so excited about how you look in your prom dress.

• a. Sure, it would be great to lose some of that cellulite around my butt, but not if I can't eat my favorite candy bar and drink my lattés. Forget it, my boyfriend better like me the way I am or I'll dump my triple latté over his head.
• b. You let your friend embark on this new diet and resolve to spend twenty minutes a day on your treadmill and cut out the junk food for the next six weeks instead.
• c. Diet, here you come. It's all about how you look. Who cares if you pass out during class as long as you look good?

2) Your cousin's getting married in January and you have to wear a butt-ugly strapless fuchsia dress. Well, it wouldn't be so ugly if it didn't show off your pale skin that hasn't seen the sun in six months. The worst part of all? The groom's very cute little brother is going to be one of the ushers and you just heard he's newly single...

• a. You spend the month of December at the tanning salon. That skin cancer stuff is for nerds. It's all about looking good.
• b) b. You give a try at the sunless tanning. The dress is so ugly that most people will be looking only at the dress, but for that one particular usher who might notice you... it's worth a try to see if the stuff works.
• c. As if any harmful substance will touch your skin. Nicole Kidman protects her skin with her life and so will you. Flawless complexion, here you come. After spending two hours a day on your three hundred dollar all-natural skin treatment every day for the next month, people will confuse you with a porcelain doll, and that's the way it should be.

3) It's ten in the evening. You have a major test tomorrow and you're freaking out, but you're too tired to read one more word.

• a. You grab a two liter bottle of diet coke out of the fridge and turn on the coffee maker. Caffeine, here you come!
• b. You head to bed and set your alarm for four am. There's no point in trying to study if you're only going to pass out during the test, but a few more hours in the morning to cram some more things into your short term memory wouldn't hurt.
• c. Hey, if you don't know it by now, it's not worth knowing. Besides, if you go without your beauty sleep, you will so not be doing your quest for prom queen any favors. You crash and set your alarm just early enough to make sure you look fab before you head out the door.

4) You're walking down the street with your bff and you're hit with a sudden sugar craving.

• a. You head for the nearest ice cream store and order a double fudge sundae. If my body's telling me I want it, who am I to argue?
• b. You buy a gooey, still hot cookie from the Nestlé's Tollhouse store, enjoy every morsel of it guilt free, and head on over to the gym for a quick workout. Hey, you work hard and you deserve a little splurge now and then!
• c. Hah. As if you will succumb. You'll stick to carrot sticks and rice cakes, thank you very much.

5) Your bff shows you an article in a magazine that claims guys like athletic girls.

• a. If a guy wants a girl with muscle, let him date a pro wrestler. You're going shopping.
• b. You convince your bff to start taking spinning class three times a week at a local gym. You heard a bunch of guys from the football team attend the six am class. What better reason do you need to spin?
• c. You decide to run three times a day, do an hour or so of weight lifting, and then the elliptical just before you go to bed. He wants a fit girl? You are going to show him a the fittest chick on the planet.

6) You get home Friday after the worst week anyone has ever had in the entire history of the world. You're too depressed to think.

• a. You curl up on the couch with three pints of Ben & Jerry's and every movie that Brad Pitt and Hugh Jackman have ever been in. Your life sucks, so you might as well pretend to live someone else's.
• b. You take a nap, make a list of all the reasons why everyone who made your life miserable this week is actually pathetic and not worth caring about, then make another list of all the reasons why you are a true goddess. Then you take your list, call all your friends until you find of them willing to hang out with you, then the two of you go out for a girl's night that is all about you.
• c. You call your therapist on her cell phone and demand she come over to your house immediately. You will not be forced to endure this misery alone.

Answers:

Mostly A's: A new stat was recently released that says for the first time in history, the kids of today have a shorter life expectancy than their parents due to unhealthy living. Well... no one's making any judgments, but you might want to think about subscribing to Self or Shape. Just a thought. You might be amazed at how much better you feel if you start doing a little something to take care of yourself. Nothing major. Just a little change here or there could make a world of difference in how you feel.

Mostly B's: You are IT, girl! You're got the perfect blend of staying healthy but not obsessing about it. Keep up the great work!

Mostly C's: It's super important to take care of yourself, but it's possible to obsess about it a little too much so that it actually becomes unhealthy. You need to allow yourself to be human and have a little fun in life. You don't have to be perfect! Sometimes moderation is the healthiest choice of all!
