Mandarin Learning In Hong Kong – We Should All Grow Fat and Be Happy

Mandarin Learning In Hong Kong – We Should All Grow Fat and Be Happy

Here’s a familiar version of the boy-meets-girl situation. A young man has at last plucked up courage to invite a dazzling young lady out to dinner. She has accepted his invitation and he is overjoyed. He is determined to take her to the best restaurant in town, even if it means that he will have to live on memories and hopes during the month to come. When they get to the restaurant, he discovers that this ethereal creature is on a diet. She mustn’t eat this and she mustn’t that. Oh, but of course, she doesn’t want to spoil his enjoyment. Let him by all means eat as much fattening food as he wants: it’s the surest way to an early grave. They spend a truly memorable evening together and never see each other again.
What a miserable lot dieters are! You can always recognize them from the sour expression on their faces. They spend most of their time turning their noses up at food. They are forever consulting calorie charts; gazing at themselves in mirrors; and leaping on to weighing-machines in the bathroom. They spend a lifetime fighting a losing battle against spreading hips, protruding tummies and double chins. Some wage all-out war on FAT. Mere dieting is not enough. They exhaust themselves doing exercises, sweating in sauna baths, being pummeled and massaged by weird machines. The really wealthy diet-mongers pay vast sums for ‘health cures’. For two weeks they can enter a nature clinic and be starved to death for a hundred guineas a week. Don’t think it’s only the middle-aged who go in for these fads either. Many of these bright young things you see are suffering from chronic malnutrition: they are living on nothing but air, water and the goodwill of God.
Dieters undertake to starve themselves of their own free will; so why are they so miserable? Well, for one thing, they’re always hungry. You can’t be hungry and happy at the same time. All the horrible concoctions they eat instead of food leave them permanently dissatisfied. Wonderfood is a complete food, the advertisement says. ‘Just dissolve a teaspoonful in water…’. A complete food it may be, but not quite as complete as a juicy steak. And, of course, they’re always miserable because they feel so guilty. Hunger just proves too much for them and in the end they lash out and devour five huge guilt-inducing cream cakes at a sitting. And who can blame them? At least three times a day they are exposed to temptation. What utter torture it is always watching others tucking into piles of mouth-watering food while you munch a water biscuit and sip unsweetened lemon juice!
What’s all this self-inflicted torture for? Saintly people deprive themselves of food to attain a state of grace. Unsaintly people do so to attain a state of misery. It will be a great day when all the dieters in the world abandon their slimming courses; when they hold out their plates and demand second helpings!

這裡有一個熟悉的男孩遇見女孩的情況。已救起一位年輕的男子終於鼓起勇氣邀請耀眼的年輕女士外出吃飯。她已經接受他的邀請,他喜出望外。他決心要帶她到城裡最好的餐廳,即使這意味著他將不得不住在一個月來的記憶和希望。當他們到達餐廳時,他發現這種的空靈生物飲食。她不能吃和她不得。哦,當然,她並不想破壞他的享受。讓他通過各種手段盡可能多的育肥食品吃,因為他想:這是最可靠的方法早期嚴重。他們一起度過一​​個真正難忘的夜晚,永遠不會再相見。
慘很多節食者是什麼!你總是可以從他們臉上的酸味表達他們承認。他們花費其大部分時間在食品轉向了自己的鼻子。他們永遠諮詢卡路里圖表,凝視著自己在鏡子和跨越式稱重機在浴室。他們花了一生,戰鬥打擊蔓延的臀部,凸出的肚子和雙下巴的敗局。一些工資發全面戰爭。單純的節食是不夠的。他們用盡自己做練習,怪異的機器被痛宰和按摩,桑拿浴出汗。真正富有的飲食販子支付巨額“健康療法”。兩個星期中,他們可以進入一個性質的診所,被餓死一百金幣一個星期死亡。不要以為這只是中年,誰去為這些時尚在任。你看到這些明亮年輕的事情許多人都患有慢性營養不良:他們生活無關,但空氣,水和上帝的善意。
節食承諾餓死自己,自己的自由意志,那麼,他們為什麼這麼慘?好了,一件事,他們總是餓。在同一時間,你不能餓了,高興。所有可怕的混合,他們吃的食物,而不是離開他們永久不滿。 wonderfood是一個完整的食品,廣告上說。 “只溶於一茶匙水……”。它可能是一個完整的食品,但不太完整的多汁牛排。 ,當然,他們總是悲慘的,因為他們覺得很內疚。飢餓只是證明對他們來說太多,最終他們抨擊和吞噬會議在五個巨大的內疚誘導奶油蛋糕。誰又能責怪他們呢?他們面臨的誘惑一天至少三次。什麼完全酷刑,它總是看著別人到令人垂涎的食物樁掖好被角,而你大嚼水餅乾和SIP不加糖的檸檬汁!
這種自我施加酷刑是什麼?聖潔的人剝奪自己的食物,以實現一個國家的寬限期。 人這樣做,以達到一個痛苦的狀態。這將是一個偉大的日子,當世界上所有的節食放棄自己的減肥課程,當他們伸出自己的盤子,並要求第二份!
