Emotions and feelings idioms

I weighed 72 kg when I first arrived in China. I was in good shape. I took up smoking and ate junk food. I stopped going to the gym or running. I lost a lot of weight during nine months. I look like a bag of bones now. I really am in bad shape. I must change my life style and work out at the gym. To say that someone is bag of bones means that they are extremely thin.

Do you ever get cold feet? I think we all do at times. If you get cold feet about something, you begin to hesitate about doing it, you are no longer sure whether you want to do it or not.

Example; I wanted to enter the competition but at the last minute, I got cold feet.

Deep down; If you talk about how someone is, or feels, deep down, you are describing what they are like or what they really feel deep inside, behind the outward appearance as in the sentence; he appears to be indifferent to his success, but deep down, he's very happy.

Happy learning!
