　　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．
