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.
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.

Writing
In common with many young people, I used to lead an unhealthy life, such as staying up late, preferring fast food, disliking sports, etc. As a result, I fell ill easily lacking energy, which greatly affected my study and life.
I read an article that said jogging would make a difference to health. I came to realize the importance of doing sports rather than hating exercising. Things began to change. Instead of rarely working out, I made it a rule to run every day. What's more, I ate a healthy, balanced diet, instead of being free to enjoy junk food. Finally, I stopped staying up late and enjoying myself by eating unhealthy food. Instead, I kept going for a jog at least half an hour daily.
Now, I'm crazy about jogging. Thanks to it, I become both more energetic and healthier.
I always felt anxious and stressful at senior high school at first because I was afraid of being left behind. I was worried about so many things that I couldn’t sleep well and focus on my study.
Then, I read a book called “Who Moved Your Cheese” which made me realize that making changes can make a difference to life. Instead of just worrying about my study, I would make a schedule for my study and finish the to-do list. Rather than being anxious the whole day, I would do some exercises regularly and listen to music to relieve my stress and tiredness after studying, which also helped me feel more energetic.
Now, I stopped feeling upset about something new. Instead, I would also always remind myself to smile as often as possible and stay positive about everything that is going to happen.
