How I Tricked Myself into Enjoying Healthier Foods and Exercise

Most of us would like to think that when we reach a certain age or point in our careers, we automatically evolve past the point of worrying about our appearance. Body image and self-confidence, or our lack of confidence, is something that we never really talk about for fear of drawing attention to our     1    .

But the truth is that our body image issues affect us more than we’d like to     2    . Over the last eight years I’ve worked hard to     3     my business. My main focus has been my work—writing books, creating products, launching products, growing my team—and I’ve dedicated long hours to my company’s success. My diligence has definitely paid off and my business is thriving, but all of that hustling has come at a(n)     4     cost. I’ve spent long hours at the computer and little time exercising or eating     5    . I tried to ignore it and I told myself that no one noticed, but my weight steadily crept up.

As a result, my confidence slowly decreased, and I retreated from the     6     —both personal and professional—that I loved. I stopped going out with friends, stopped sharing photos of myself on social media and avoided media interviews. Even if I didn’t want to admit it, I knew that the underlying problem was that I just didn’t feel     7     about myself. I had to make a change. I started by getting clear about my goals, which included getting into the best shape of my life, changing the way I ate and running a 10K on my 40^th birthday. But more importantly, I got honest with myself about why those goals were so     8     and then I asked the people that I trust the most to hold me accountable. From there, I had to make the daily decision to     9     through.

It wasn’t easy. In fact, there were many     10     that were downright painful. But I’m succeeding, and I’m happy to see that I’ve made changes and am now leading a healthier life.

Tribes (部落) in Danger

The Jarawa, a tribe of 200-300 people, live on the Andaman Islands in the Indian Ocean. They look very different from their Indian neighbours. Most probably, their closest relatives are Africans. No one outside the tribe really speaks their language, so not much       1     (know) about them.

But we do know       2     the Jarawa live. They are nomadic (游牧) people,       3     (move) from place to place to find food. They hunt small animals and fish, they find berries, honey, and they are self-sufficient — they do everything by       4    .

The threats to the Jarawa started in 1970. A road was built through the forest     5     they live, and the Indian authorities decided to build towns and “settlers” were brought from other places     6     (live) in them. They also wanted the Jarawa to live in the towns. This policy is called “forced settlement”, and it has been a disaster for tribal peoples in places all over the world. It’s clear why:     7     forced settlement, tribes are no longer self-sufficient, and they can easily get new diseases. A tribe’s sense of identity can easily be destroyed.

But in the case of the Jarawa, it seems that the fight against these dangers has been successful, thanks to Survival, an organization     8     (devote) to protecting endangered tribes, and the campaigns that they’ve organized. For a number of years, Survival asked the Indian government to respect the Jarawa’s rights to live on their land. As a result of the campaign, there was a court case. Eventually not only     9     the authorities close the road through the Jarawa’s land, but also remove the settlers. Now Survival     10     (fight) for the Jarawa’s right to own their land and to make their own choices about the way they live.
