I was fat kid who grew into an overweight adult. I was     laughed at for being heavier than the other kids,      me feeling shy. I tried several diets, but     worked, and I     gaining weight. Another factor      my weight gain was my love for cooking, especially rich, high-fat desserts, which I enjoyed preparing and, of course, eating. 　 
　When I finished high school at the age of 18, I weighed 215 pounds.     the self-confidence to go to a new, faraway school, I decided to stay close to home      going away to college. I continued with my unhealthful eating habits and felt more miserable as the weight came on, but I did nothing about it except buy larger plus-size clothes. 　 
My turning point came 10 years later at a friend's New Year's Eve party when I was at my all-time highest weight of 330 pounds. I caught my      in a mirror and the truth       me: I was overweight and unhealthy, and unless I did something about it now, I would only get bigger and       . 　 
After leaving the party, I thought about my past weight-loss      and realized they didn't work because they required me to abandon foods I loved. Then I would constantly think about food and binge,      the diet      my hunger and not feel deprived. 　 
　My biggest      was finding a way to fit my passion for cooking into my healthier lifestyle. At first, I tried to stay away from the kitchen to       myself thinking about food. The result: Food was all I thought about.      had to be some way to bine cooking with healthful eating. I found the     after reading several low-fat cookbooks. With some trial and error, I could modify my favorite foods and make them low in fat, yet delicious.　 
　The pounds started ing off, and when I started exercising (usually cardio and weight training five times a week), they seemed to melt away. I didn't feel deprived, and I felt free to give my body the care and attention it     .　 
I lost 165 pounds over the next two years. I had many ups and downs. I was determined to go on. Another challenge to me was not to beat myself up if I ate something that was unhealthy and to take it as a sign to abandon my healthful habits.     I vowed to start again and always keep my goal in mind.　 Thanks to losing weight and being fit I am      my body and myself. I have finally found myself.
