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 .

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

It is a good song to inspire and comfort people who got lost or depressed . "Light will guide you home and ignite your bones " the metaphor in wich is as you believe in bright side and it will take you home and take your worry away . " I will try to fix you " I will stay by your side and be your good advisor .

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 .
