How would you like to see yourself in 5-10 years? Skinny and fit or Obese and exhausted all the time. Well if you know what you want to look like, just a regular bit of eating habits can help you achieve your goal. Its not too complicated to keep a healthy diet. Just think of it as this, make a rule for yourself like that you can only have a certain amount of sweets and junk food each week, if you pass your limit it will take it from your next weeks amount and plus you have to eat extra vegetables next week.

It doesn’t take that much to fix your eating style at all. Just go online and check out some simple websites on healthy foods/diets and you can be right on your way to slim on down. The following link will show you some of the healthy foods to eat along with some bad foods you should stay away from. You can’t just expect you to become your ideal figure over night, it will take time and determination, it will also take strength in yourself to give yourself the extra nudge away from the junk foods even though you may want them. How do you think all the athletes become so fit? You think they eat junk food? well they might a little but another key is to exercise daily. Doesn’t have to be anything that over exerts yourself but you can do something as simple as doing a brisk jog, walking your dog, doing some simple fitness drills like push-ups sit ups, all of those can help you in the long run.

I personally believe that if you eat right and exercise well you can achieve your ideal weight and appearance that you want for yourself, and of course everybody likes sweets and junk food but you always need to remember when to say “thats enough” when it comes to it.

Your essay was very well written. You pointed out that if we want to look smaller and possibly feel better then we have to give up things we like. Say somebody was addicted to junk food and they wanted to lose weight they would have to give up junk food to look the way they wanted to. You were right when you said it takes determination and the will power to overcome these things. You also came out and stated your opinion and I am with you on that.

Nice job Tom,
Your essay pointed out that even people as fat as me can get in shape easily. If I give up some junk food and maybe do a few sit ups, anything is possible. I really liked how you added the determintaion factor into it. It doesn’t matter how many veggies you eat if you ain’t got the will to go and do a couple sit ups.
Again good job.

You could have given examples of a healthy snacks compared to junk food to make your point a little more valid.
