GOING POSITTVE
I always wanted to look like the slim girls on TV even though l knew that it was impossible. I worried about my weight and tried every new diet I read about online. I tried no-fat, low-fat, 5:2, only bananas, no bananas— I almost went bananas, too.
Then I read an article that said instead of asking"Am l fat "I should be asking"Am I fit " I had no idea a letter could make such a difference! Once I started thinking about finess 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.

Be Healthier
I am Li Hua, a high school student. I wanted to be healthier and stronger. Every time I climbed stairs, I felt tired and breathless. What was worse, I always felt sleepy during class.
I have decided to change. For example, I used to eat fast food so often, but now I add more fruit and vegetables to my diet every day. Instead of sleeping late, I get up early and go jogging for 30 minutes every morning.
Now, I become much stronger and healthier, and I feel better about myself too. I am more confident to make new friends and try new things.
