    I was once a fat girl. I weighed 336 pounds (152kg) and looked as big as my fridge. I was never w{#blank#}1{#/blank#}it. But one day I had a medical examination (体检) .The d{#blank#}2{#/blank#} told me that I was having heart trouble. It w{#blank#}3{#/blank#} me up. I began to feel nervous. Then I decided to do something!

    In a year and five months, I l{#blank#}4{#/blank#} 104 pounds. What a great thing I did! I didn't have any expensive food, medical treatment (治疗) or camp-style (训练营式的) exercise. What was the secret to my s{#blank#}5{#/blank#}?

    First I looked through the Internet for do-it-yourself advice that people could f{#blank#}6{#/blank#} on losing weight. Of course I saw countless ads (广告) which tried to get me to buy their products. But I bought nothing. The only thing I did was to c{#blank#}7{#/blank#} my bad habits. I stopped drinking things with too much sugar in them, refused sweet cakes and eat green vegetables. I only used vegetable oil and never ate a{#blank#}8{#/blank#}6:30 pm. Also, do light exercise for 15 to 20 minutes five every day.

    Importantly, I have kept doing these things. People sometimes say, “You don't n{#blank#}9{#/blank#} to tell me what to do. I know it already! But the fact is that k{#blank#}10{#/blank#} what to do and doing what you know are totally different. The important thing is to know what to do and then just keep doing it.
