　　16.To begin with, at my age — nineteen —

　　17.we are all very concerned with our physical appearance.

　　18.We want to be attractive,

　　19.to have the kind of body image our society values.

　　23.We maintain good habits to keep up good appearance

　　24.and thereby maintain a good relationship.

　　25.However, when anyone experiences something as stressful

　　28.and takes some pleasure in consuming those formerly forbidden foods.

　　29.Of course, it is all a vicious circle.

　　36.One friend of mine soothes her broken heart by going shopping —

　　37.buying new clothes and new shoes, maybe a piece of jewelry —

　　38.to make herself feel better.

　　39.Whether it’s food or shopping,

　　40.self-indulgence is often good medicine for the blues,

　　41.if it is not carried to excess.

　　42.The worst response is turning to alcohol or drugs.
