I went to Westwood street near UCLA. There are lots of restaurants and cafes for many people to have a meal and study. And one of the most popular places where people go many times is a frozen yogurt place. There are about 7 frozen yogurt places around UCLA. These day, I enjoyed froze yogurt a lot, but the weird thing is that I used to really hate it when I was in Korea. I think it is because I started to care about my weights and body shape since I came to California. In United States, I can see many diet products and diet program easily such as in grocery markets, ads on the street and TV. Many people, especially women in California want to be skinny and have good shape of body. I think this kind of cares which people around me have makes me on diet and keep thinking about my diet. Actually, regular ice creams which are usually not non-fat taste better for me. They are creamier and much sweeter and also have various favors too. However, every time before ordering Ice cream, I count the calories and eventually decide to have a frozen yogurt. Even though I eat what I want to have, if it is high calories, I feel so guilty. I think the pressure that makes people think and care about their body shape from mass media are too much. Diet programs and diet foods are everywhere and also even most people in TV or magazines have the perfect body shape that the mass media keep saying. I think also many people care too much about their diet and feel the pressure like me.
