Words hold great power. Some people don’t mind the word diet.To others, it spells torture and deprivation. If you’re in this group,don’t tell yourself you’re“going on a diet.”Say you’re“starting a new eating plan" or“cutting down on calories.”Members of Overeaters Anonymous(OA),for example,say they are‘"abstaining from、overeating."
文字有著極大的力量。有些人介意“節(jié)食”這個字眼,但對某些人來說,這個詞卻意味著痛苦與剝奪。如果你是屬于后者,就不要告訴自己你在“節(jié)食”。要說你“正要開始一項新的飲食計劃”或“在減少卡路里的攝取量”。例如,暴食匿名會的會員都說他們在“戒除暴食。”
But don’t avoid the word diet altogether.Just change your opinion of the word.Think of a diet as a way of doing something great for yourself-not as a form of deprivation. Tell yourself you’re "cleansing your body from the inside out,freeing yourself of fat.”
不過可不要完全避開“節(jié)食”這個字眼,只要改變你對這個詞的看法即可。要把“節(jié)食”當作是為自己做一件很棒的事,而不是一種剝奪。告訴自己你在“進行體內環(huán)保,讓自己脫離脂肪的束縛。”
