GOING POSITIVE 积极向上 I always wanted to look like the slim girls on TV even though I knew that it was impossible. I worried about my weight and tried every new diet I read about online. I tried no-fat, low-fat, 5: 2, only bananas, no bananas—I almost went bananas, too. 我总是想让自己看起来像电视上的那些苗条女孩，尽管我知道明知这不可能。我非常担心我的体重，也尝试了我网上看到的每一种新的减肥饮食方案。我试过无脂肪、低脂肪、5：2饮食法、只吃香蕉、不吃香蕉——(最后)我几近疯狂。 Then I read an article that said instead of asking “Am I fat?” I should be asking “Am I fit?” I had no idea a letter could make such a difference! Once I started thinking about fitness rather than weight, things began to change. Instead of saying “I want to lose three kilos”, I would say “I want to run two kilometres in eight minutes” or “I want to be able to do 30 push-ups”. Rather than cutting out the foods I enjoyed, I added healthy foods to my meals. I could still have a burger now and then, but I would add a salad or an apple. 后来，我看到一篇文章，说不要问自己“我胖吗？”而应该问“我健康吗？” 我没料到一词之差，能有如此大的区别！一旦我开始考虑健康而不是体重，情况就有了变化。我不会说“我想减掉三公斤”，我会说“我要在八分钟内跑完两公里”或者“我希望能做30个俯卧撑”。我不再抗拒我喜爱的食物，而是在自己的三餐中添加健康食品。我仍然偶尔可以吃一个汉堡，但我会加上一份沙拉或一个苹果。 Finally, I stopped comparing myself with actresses and models and looking for things that were wrong with my face or body. Instead, I made a list of the things I liked about myself. By being positive about myself and my body, I became both happier and healthier. 最后，我不再拿自己与女演员和模特比较，不再寻找我的脸蛋或身材的缺陷。相反，我把对自己满意的地方列了一张清单。通过积极看待自我和自己的身体，我变得更快乐、更健康了。 |
