I hate being overweight.My husband said he didn’t mind, but I knew he still hoped I had a beautiful body.Everything from my waist(腰部)to my legs was overweight.Finally, just after Christmas last year, I decided that something had to be done.
I met Dr.Wallace, and she told me I had to stop eating fast foods.It was very hard for me because I was eating them three of four times a week:pizza, hamburgers, whatever I could get.But I said to myself at the start that I would try my best to do it-and I did.I even gave up the booze-something I used to have two glasses of it with dinner.
My best friend, Rachel Waterman, said I had to walk 10,000 steps every day.That was very hard for me at the beginning.I was used to driving everywhere, but I started to walk everywhere instead.I walked in the morning before work, and I usually took a walk in the park with my husband after work.Now I never go to bed until I’ve done my 10,000 steps.
Six months has passed, and I made it.Last week, my husband bought me an MP4 as a gift.the weight is wonderful-I feel like a different person now, and I can buy my favorite clothes in the shops.I am so proud of myself because everyone thought I wouldn’ t be able to make it including myself.
I love my new body, and I’ll never let myself go back into my old ways.
