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 ④make such a difference!

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 ⑥push-ups”. Rather than cutting out the foods I enjoyed,I added healthy foods to my meals. I could still have a burger ⑦now and then,but I would add a salad or an apple.

⑧comepare...with...与……比较
辨析:compare...with...与compare...to...
compare...with... 通常用于同类事物的具体对比,目的是发现差异。如:
Let's compare this article with that one.
让我们把这篇文章和那篇文章作一下比较。
compare...to... 用于不同事物间的比喻性类比,强调相似性。如:
Shakespeare compared the world to a stage.
莎士比亚把世界比作一个舞台。
[写作佳句]
当我们比较西方文化和中国文化时,我们会发现许多不同之处。
When we compare Western culture with Chinese culture, we'll find many differences.
要积极乐观
我一直想长得像在电视上的苗条女孩,尽管我知道这是不可能的。我担心我的体重,尝试了我在网上读到的每一种新的饮食。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。
然后我读了一篇文章,上面写道:不是问“我胖吗?”我应该问“我健康吗?” “我不知道一封信能有这么大的影响!”一旦我开始思考健康而不是体重,情况就开始发生变化。不是说“我想减掉3公斤”,我会说“我要在八分钟内跑两公里”或者“我希望能做30个俯卧撑”。我并没有减少我很喜欢的食物,我在食物中增加了健康食品。我仍然偶尔可以吃一个汉堡,但我想添加个沙拉或者苹果。
最后,我不再拿自己与女演员和模特比较,不再寻找我的脸上或身体上的缺陷。相反,我列了一张我对自己喜欢的事情的清单。通过对我自己和我的身体持有积极乐观的态度,我变得更快乐、更健康。
