1) At times, it seems that almost everybody I know is desperately trying to lose weight. It is good, for overweight not only spoils your image but affects your health as well.

2) Work on your body image. (主题句)No one can become thin who doesn't believe that he can be thin. Your body image is the "you" that you identify with, either consciously or unconsciously. If you really want to reduce, you should have a definite idea of how thin you want to be. Picture your new body image often, vividly and graphically. That will serve a blueprint for change. (方法一：脑子里有具体的形象有助于瘦身)

3) Never surrender. (主题句) Successful reducing has more to do with devotion and, perhaps, an uncompromising personality. Some people try this or that diet, but soon stop because "it didn't work" ог "it made me uncomfortable". If successful dieters share anything else, it is unrelenting drive to succeed. In most cases it is not a particular diet but will power that really counts. (方法二:有坚强的毅力)

4) Set achievable goals. (主题句) Unsuccessful dieters often fail because they set overly ambitious goals for themselves. For example, "I'm going to lose 30 pounds before l'm married." This kind of state of mind only invites discouragement if they fail. Set a reasonable and manageable sub-goal. Once you've achieved it, you'll find it easier to go on to the next. Success breeds success! (方法三:确定合适的减肥目标)

5) Reducing is not just a matter of clipping a diet out of magazines. You may try medicines, eat less, and take exercise. No matter what kind of diet you choose, remember that losing weight begins with a state of mind.(结尾回到文章开始的中心思想句)
