11.I went shopping for a dress to wear to my daughter's high school graduation half a year ago.To my horror,I could only fit into a size 20.
Being overweight most of my adult life,I always had very little self-confidence.Wearing a dress I didn't like to such an important event was enough to make me look for help.Thankfully,a friend of mine was attending Weight Watchers meetings,and I noticed her great progress.Her success inspired me to give it a try.I joined Weight Watchers,attended their meetings and started following their Weight-Loss System.
I focused on the plan with determination and never missed a weekly meeting!I discovered that I enjoyed the benefits of having the help and support of others.I also read the weekly online e-newsletter and was inspired by the stories,recipes and information offered there,I also read magazines produced by Weight Watchers,which have great tips and new ideas in each issue.
It's hard for me to even remember the person I was before my amazing change.I didn't walk anywhere and couldn't wash my car or walk my dog.Today I do these simple tasks without even thinking about them.But the change didn't happen overnight.I had to exercise with patience and perseverance(坚持).I decided to take it one day at a time and stick with if for good.
The"new me"is more self-confident and healthier.I love how I feel now.I have more energy and feel like I'm 25 again.So why not give Weight Watchers a try if you have the same overweight problem?
