减肥让我明白了生活的意义

Here's the story of my growth over the past year. If anyone is inspired by this, that's wonderful.

我要讲述的是自己过去一年来的成长经历。如果有人因此受到启示，我会觉得非常荣幸。

I'd been stuck as this incredibly insecure, under-confident, fat sack and just scared individual for years and years and years. Since childhood I'd been stuck like this, and I'd just resigned to a life where I'd be afraid of everything and be this 'introvert ' or whatever.

多年以来，我一直是一个非常没有安全感，毫无自信，惶惶终日的人。这种状态从未发生过变化，从幼年起我就是这幅样子，我已经向生活妥协，把自己囚禁在这种对所有事物都感到畏惧，内向而胆怯的状态之中。

But then it all started changing. Something clicked, and in over a period of 6 months I finally managed to stick to one of my diets, and lost 90 lbs bringing me from overweight straight down to underweight.

可是，在某个时刻，我的生活开始改变了。仿佛某种机关突然被启动了，在短短六个月的时间里，我终于完成了一次节食计划，减掉了90磅的体重，从体重超标一下子变成了体重过轻。

This taught me that I could change myself.

这让我明白，我有力量去改变我自己。

One single time, I heard about a public speaking thing going on at my university, and for the first time, I actually managed to puck the courage to go there.
