Regarding diet, she used to face the problem. She liked eating unhealthy food. But she herself knew that healthy food is good for her health. So, she used to make a deal with herself, saying that she would eat healthy food first and then whatever she wanted to eat later, she could have that. But, just after eating that healthy part of the food, she didn’t feel hungry and was full. So, she used to skip the unhealthy part.
