more expressions:
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.

Hello, guys, I'm Lihua. I'm honored to have the chance to share my story of keeping fit with you. I believe many students may have similar experience with me.

Tell the reader about how and why you changed or want to change.

I couldn't help feeling worried about myself. So I went to my head teacher to ask for his advice. He suggested that I take a jogging for half an hour after class every afternoon. What surprised me was that he even organized a group with several of my classmates who had the same problem as mine. We keep jogging every afternoon and we enjoy each other's company and encouragement. We cut down the fat in our diet and added more fruit and vegetables to it. Most importantly, we drink water instead of sodas.
Describe the changes and compare the possible results.
