At my heaviest I weighed 370 pounds. I had a very poor relationship with food: I used it to
16 bad feelings, to make myself feel better, and to celebrate. Worried about my health, I tried many different kinds of 17 but nothing worked. I came to believe that I could do nothing about my 18 .
When I was 50, my weight problem began to affect me 19 . I didn't want to live the rest of my life with this 20 weight any more.
That year, I 21 a seminar where we were asked to create a project that would touch the world. A seminar leader shared her 22 story -she had not only 125 pounds, but also raised $25,000 for homeless children.
23 by her story, I created the As We Heal(痊愈), the World Heals 24 . My goal was to lose 150 pounds in one year and raise $50,000 25 a movement founded 30 years ago to end hunger. This combination of healing myself and healing the world 26 me as the perfect solution.
27 I began my own personal weight program, I was filled with the fear that I would
28 the same difficulties that beat me before. While the 29 hung over my head, there were also signs that I was headed down the right 30 . I sent letters to everyone I knew, telling them about my project. It worked perfectly. Donations began 31 in from hundreds of people.
Of course, I also took some practical steps to lose weight. I consulted with a physician(内科医生), I hired a fitness coach, and I began to eat small and 32 meals. My fund-raising focus also gave me new motivation to exercise 33 .
A year later, I 34 my goal: I lost 150 pounds and raised $50,000! I feel that I've been given a second life to devote to something that is 35 and enormous.
