我有個(gè)朋友很想減肥。

他嘗試過(guò)很多方法，甚至一天就只喝魚(yú)湯。

然后第二天節(jié)食，第三天開(kāi)始不吃早餐，下午只吃水果，接下去時(shí)只吃米飯堅(jiān)持12小時(shí)

然而，大肚子、小胳膊一直在。我曾問(wèn)他為什么想變瘦。

他回答說(shuō)他也不知道，只是覺(jué)得瘦更好。

接下去他一天只吃沙拉，隔天只點(diǎn)了份中國(guó)菜外賣。

他不知道自己想要的，但他知道自己特別不想要的。

我很喜歡出自路易斯·卡羅爾的一席話。

一天，愛(ài)麗絲走到岔路口，看到一只柴郡貓正在樹(shù)上。

“我該走哪條路呢？”她問(wèn)?！澳阆胱吣臈l？”他反問(wèn)。

“我不知道?！睈?ài)麗絲回答。

“其實(shí)選哪條都不要緊?！必埢卮?。努力只是工具，重要的是知道自己想要什么。
