Going Positive

Let’s go back to the article to see more details.
I tried no-fat, low-fat, 5:2, only bananas, no bananas—I almost went bananas, too.
only bananas
我尝试过无脂肪、低脂肪、5:2饮食法、只吃香蕉、不吃香蕉——我也几近疯狂。
5:2节食法:一周7天中有2天严格控制摄入的热量,其余5天正常进食。
went
bananas
What does the sentence “I almost went bananas” mean?
went
bananas
go crazy
It means she nearly went crazy because she was so worried, and tried various methods.
go bananas 发疯;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 kilometers in eight minutes'' or ''I want 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.

篇章结构
For example, I stopped eating fast food so often, and introduced fruit and vegetables into my diet every day. I also do my exercises regularly to keep fit.
Now, because I became healthier, I became much happier and better about myself too. This has made me more confident to make new friends and try new things.
I am a high school student. I want to feel better about myself and be healthier because sometimes I get down, have no energy and worry about things too much. I decided to change my diet to make it healthier.
