Dear Amy,
Knowing that you are worried about your weight, I quite understand how upset and anxious you feel. Actually, things would improve if we followed the suggestions below.
Firstly, a balanced diet and regular exercise make a difference, which not only helps you watch your figure but also contributes to a healthy life. Besides, have you thought about avoiding sugary drinks and fruit juice Sugar is the first cause of gaining weight. Frankly speaking, if I were you, I would focus more on fitness rather than weight. A good healthy body is worth more a crown in gold.
All the best, I hope these suggestions beneficial!
Yours,
Li Hua
