Passage1
If you are overweight, and let's be honest, most people today are, first of all, do not feel bad about your body. This does not mean that you get a license（执照，许可证） to eat unhealthy and not work out but your weight and your perception about yourself should not be related. You have to focus on（集中注意力于---） the positive aspects（积极的方面） of you: your smile, your eyes, your waist, your legs, etc. Accentuate the positive and disguise the negative. Do not use clothes that do not fit. Many women think that if the clothes are tight they will look thinner. This is not true; they will only look fatter, instead. Your clothes have to fit your body; neither oversize nor undersize does the trick
