My adviser     5    that I should     6    for advanced literature because I like English and I’m good at it.

I had to choose extra-curricular activities, too. I tried to join the school football team, but the coach told me that I didn’t play well enough.     7    , I was unhappy, but I won’t quit. I’ll find a way to improve on my own so that I can make the team next year. I joined a     8    club instead.

Then an article changed me. It said instead of asking “Am I fat?” I should be asking “Am I fit?” I didn’t know a letter could make such a     3     (different)! Then I started thinking about fitness rather than weight. I didn’t say that I wanted to lose three kilos. Instead, I would say I wanted to run two kilometres in eight     4     (minute) or I wanted to be able to do 30 push-ups. I preferred     5     (add) healthy foods to my meals rather than cut     6    the foods I enjoyed. I still had a burger now     7     then, but I would add a salad or an apple.

Finally, I stopped     8     (compare) 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     9     (I). I became more positive about myself and my body. As     10     result, I became both happier and healthier.
