At my heaviest I weighed 370 pounds. I had a very poor
relationship with food: I used it to1bad feelings, to make myself feel
better, and to celebrate. Worried about my health, I tried many different kinds
of diets but nothing worked. I came to believe that I could do nothing about my
weight.
When I was 50, my weight problem began to affect me2. I didn't want to live the rest of my
life with this extra weight any more.
That year, I3a seminar(研讨课) where we were asked to create a
project that would touch the world. A seminar leader shared her4story —she had not only lost 125
pounds, but also raised ＄25,000 for homeless children.
5by her story, I created the As We heal(痊愈), the World Heals project. My goal was
to lose 150 pounds in one year and raise $50,000. In this way, I could not only
heal myself but heal the world by supporting a movement set up 30 years ago to
end hunger.
6I began my own personal weight program,
I was filled with the fear that I would run into the same difficulties that
beat me before. While the7hung over my head, there were also
signs that I was headed down the right path. I sent letters to everyone I knew,
telling them about my project. It worked perfectly. Donations began 8in from hundreds of people.
Of course, I also took some practical steps to lose weight.
I hired a fitness coach. I began to eat small and9meals and exercise often.
A year later, I10my 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 meaningful and great.
