Do Not Comment On The “Freshman 15”



This new freedom and independence includes complete control over what students eat and don’t eat.

You have spent the last 18 years monitoring their dietary needs. Now they are on their own.

Pizza or a salad? That’s a no-brainer… Pizza.

Tacos or meat and vegetables? Hmmmm… Tacos.

A Whopper® or peanut butter and jelly with a glass of milk?
Can I have fries with that?

When it’s time to come home after that first semester or term, it becomes a realityto them that their clothes don’t fit. They have been wearing sweat pants, pajama bottoms and gym shorts. It is so easy to put on those extra pounds — the “Freshman 15.”

Love them unconditionally. They know the weight is there. Your student will not appreciate the criticism. Just give them a hug.
