When I began married life more than 17 years ago, I weighed 118 pounds. After having two children, and years of     21     eating, I weighed 180 pounds. I was unhappy. I considered going on a     22    , so I gathered information about it.
I     23     the South Beach Diet and how well it was     24     for some people in our area. I looked it up online and     25     for it. Even though I knew my husband loved me no matter how I     26     or how much I weighed. I decided that it would be a wonderful     27     for my husband to e home and see a new     28    , so I kept my South Beach experience a     29     from him. Later he left home for a two-week business trip.
I was surprised at all the     30     I could eat. It was great to have breakfast,     31     and dinner. The food was difficult to eat at first     32     I usually didn’t like such food. This made the daily menus hard,     33     I overcame (克服) the challenge.
The first two weeks there really     34     me change the way I thought about     35    . It wasn’t chocolate or cheese or candy I     36    , but fruit! Before my husband’s return, my children and I were amazed at how quickly the     37     was lost.
When my husband returned, I had     38    more than 30 pounds. When I saw my husband’s reaction at the airport I thought it was worth every minute on the diet! I have     39     to lose weight and I am now less than 10 pounds from my final     40    . I feel better than I have in years and I’m enjoying life much more!
