The Diet Zone:A Dangerous Place

Diet Coke,diet Pepsi,diet pills,no-fat dict,vegetable dict...We are surrounded by the word "diet"everywhere we look and listen.We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of dictproducts that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us.We are paying forproducts that harm us psychologically and physically(身体上).

Dict products significantly weaken us psychologically.On one level,we are not allowing our brainto admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight,but in controlling the consumptionof fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods.Dict products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale (秤) instead.All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word"diet"in foodlabels.

On another level,diet products have greater psychological effects.Every time we have azero-calorie drink,we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don't have to work to get results.Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain,and that life can be without resistanceand struggle.

72 A person's self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the way a personbehaves affects other people's reactions.In general,the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.For instance,people who have a positive sense of self-worth or highself-esteem usually act with confidence.Because they have self-assurance,they do not need constantpraise and encouragement from others to feel good about themselves.Self-confident people are their ownbest friends.They participate in life enthusiasticallyand spontaneously.73 People with highself-esteem are not hurt by criticism;they do not regard criticism as personal rejection.Instead,they viewcriticism as suggestion for improvement.
