【Day 129】大作文34——减肥梦

How to keep fit has increasingly become the main subject of many modern artworks. In the picture above, lady is having a meal including pizza, cola, and doughnuts. She is also taking a pill labeled "Special Drug for Weight Loss". thinking she would be thinner soon. The cartoonist intends to draw public attention to a self-deceiving way of losing weight popular among young people.
Many factors have contributed to the phenomenon, but one in particular stands out. In recent years, youngsters have shown a growing eagerness for quick success. Undergraduates hope to land a well-paid job upon graduation while new employees desire to become rich overnight. When people with this mentality seek to loseweight, they tend to take weight-losing drugs or to adopt measures that they believe produce results quickly.
However, this quick-success attitude can hardly help people slim down. Worse, because these people have every confidence in the drugs, they may eat more junk food and thus have a greater risk of diseases such as high blood pressure and fatty liver. Therefore, we should encouroage young people to eat less sugar and salt and to spend more time on outdoor activities. Yet, the long-term solution to the problem is to make them believe that making progress one step at a time is the key to success.

如何保持健康越来越成为众多现代艺术作品的主题。如上图所示，一位女士吃着披萨和甜甜圈，喝着可乐，还在吃一颗标有"特效瘦身丸”的药丸，想着自己很快会瘦下来。漫画师想让大家关注年轻人中流行的一种自欺欺人的减肥方法。
很多因素可以解释该现象，但其中一个尤为突出。近年来，年轻人愈发急功近利。本科生希望一毕业就找到高薪工作，新员工渴望一夜致富。当怀有这种心态的人试图减肥，他们可能会吃减肥药或采用他们认为立竿见影的方法。
然而，这种急功近利的态度很难让人们瘦身。更糟糕的是，因为这些人对药物信心十足，所以他们可能会吃更多的垃圾食品，从而患高血压和脂肪肝等疾病的风险更高。因此，我们应该鼓励年轻人少吃糖和盐，并且多花时间参加户外活动。然而，从长远来看， 解决问题的办法是让他们相信一步一个脚印是成功的关键。
