零起点美语-Let yourself go.

Let yourself go.

放逐自己。
Dr. Theodore Rubin, author of The Thin Book by a Formerly Fat Psychiatrist, notes that all people have a deep need for an occasional experience of “abandon” — when we let go of our cares and self-consciousness and throw ourselves freely into an activity. A problem for many overweight people, he says, is that the closest they ever come to experiencing this feeling is through overeating.
Exercise, with its physical challenge and release and its childlike, playful nature, can provide that abandonment. Whatever you choose, from an aerobics class to downhill skiing, get involved in an activity that makes you feel free. In the process, you may be freeing yourself from the urge to overeat.

鲁宾医师是《告别肥胖的精神科医生所着的瘦身秘笈》（暂译）的作者，他特别提到，所有的人都会渴望拥有偶尔解放自己的经验，也就是当我们完全忘掉烦恼和自卑，自由自在地投入某种活动的那种感觉。他表示，许多过重者的问题在于他们最能体验这种解放感觉的方法是藉由暴饮暴食。
运动本身所含有的体能挑战和解脱和天真、好玩的本质，就能提供那种解放的感觉。不论你选择什么运动，从有氧舞蹈课到下坡滑雪，投入一项让自己感到解放的活动吧，在这个过程中，你也许不会再有暴饮暴食的冲动。
