Have you ever tried the 5:2 diet
The 5:2 diet gets its name because it involves eating regularly for 5 days of the week while drastically limiting intake on the other 2 days.
It can help people lose weight while they can eat whatever they want for the regular meals.

Similarities
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.

Exercise: If I am by myself,I can listen to my favourite music on headphones while I exercise. I can also exercise with a friend to make it more enjoyable.
Stress:I won't work for too long at a time. If I work for around 45 minutes then take a short 10-minute break, my work will be better and I will feel more relaxed.
Self-confidence: To be more confident, I should know what I am good at, and accept what I am not good at. I can't be good at everything! If I want to improve at something, I won't let small failures put me off. I will keep trying and will reach my goal. Keeping fit also helps me.
Food: Always try and have vegetables with my meals and balance the different types of food groups. Don't eat too much of one thing. Also,don't eat very big portions(分量).

One Possible Version
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.
Thanks!
