At my heaviest I weighed 370 pounds. I had a very poor relationship with food: I used it to__bad feelings, to make myself feel better, and to celebrate. Worried about my health, I tried many different kinds of diets but nothing worked. I came to believe that I could do nothing about my weight.

When I was 50, my weight problem began to affect me____. I didn’t want to live the rest of my life with this extra weight any more.

That year, I____a seminar(研讨课) where we were asked to create a project that would touch the world. A seminar leader shared her____story —she had not only lost 125 pounds, but also raised $25,000 for homeless children.

____by her story, I created the As We heal(痊愈), the World Heals project. My goal was to lose 150 pounds in one year and raise $50,000. In this way, I could not only heal myself but heal the world by supporting a movement set up 30 years ago to end hunger.

____I began my own personal weight program, I was filled with the fear that I would run into the same difficulties that beat me before. While the____hung over my head, there were also signs that I was headed down the right path. I sent letters to everyone I knew, telling them about my project. It worked perfectly. Donations began ____in from hundreds of people.

Of course, I also took some practical steps to lose weight. I hired a fitness coach. I began to eat small and___ meals and exercise often.

A year later, I____my goal: I lost 150 pounds and raised $50,000! I feel that I’ve been given a second life to devote to something that is meaningful and great.
