Cause and effect of going on a diet

Diet is not a strange word anymore . Most of women stay with this sentence all the time ," I am on a diet " . Even some elementary schools open a diet class to help those children who are overweight and need to go on a diet .However, it causes many reasons when people want to diet and how it influnce our life .

Some people don't have a good idea about eating , they skip breakfast and don't have enough time for lunch until they treat themselves a big meal on dinner after work . It is not a correct concept of diet but it has become a common situation . Eating too much greasy , salty and sweet also cause body diseases . Addition people don't doing exercise regularly and don't eating on time that why it is easy to gain a fat . Using a good way on a diet is also an important thing . Some people trust the diet pill can lose the weight . However it does work or not but it is not a good way for our health .

I had an experience about diet . I gained 10kg when I was staying in Canada . The life in Western country is boring at night . It is very common having a party and eating out every night for international students . However, the happy time was until the time when I couldn't wear any of my jeans and I realized I should go on a diet , and stop eating too much . I tried to make some light food for myself and exercised regularly . When the weight went down I became more confident and felt comfortable with my body .Until now, as I watch my photos which I was overweight . It seems to remind of me : Keep you in a good shape !

Metaphor

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Over the sea and far away
She's waiting like an iceberg , waiting to change
But she is cold inside , she wants to be like the water
All the muscles tighten in her face, buries her soul in one embrace
They're one and the same . Just like water

The fire fades away most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses but it is too hard to say
I wish it were simple but we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the other side of the world to me

These beautiful lyrics are by KT . It talks about a girl experiences heartbreak and now no more fire in her mind . " She's waiting like an iceberg . . . she wants to be like the water " Iceberg is hard but water is soft , the metaphor is love can melt people heart away .

The Dreamer "John Lennon"

John Lennon is a person who I would like to meet most if he was still alive . I know him by "The Beatles " which is the greatest rock band in the 60~70 century . When I first knew him by his song is called "imagine". It is a song about the no war, peace and cosmopolitism world . He liked to express his thinking and put words into the songs . He used to write very simple words but it touches my heart deeply.

John Lennon was an English songwriter, singer, musician, graphicartist, author and peace activist who gained worldwide fame as one of the founders of The Beatles. He had two sons, Julian, with his first wife Cynthia, and Sean, with his second wife, artist Yoko Ono. Lennon was murdered by his fan in New York City on 8 December 1980 . He was just 40 . Until now every year on 8 December, there is a memorial ceremony in Hollywood . There will be a lot of his fans come from different countries and memorize him . It includes speakers discussing Lennon, and musical tributes.

Most of the songs he wrote I was not born yet . But, everytime when I listen to those songs and they touches my heart even encourage me when I feel down . Sometimes I feel we have a lot of the same ideas for life style , love or the view of this world . He was a peace activist . Many songs he wrote that wished our world could be more peaceful . Sometimes I wonder , if he was alive , what would he think about the world nowadays ? Would he still insist and believe the cosmopolitism world someday ? However , we could never know this answer . But, I believe he would still forward to it by his songs , influence and inspire people from his music .
