I used to be a very active person. My father always told me how important it is to have a healthy body and he required me to do exercises every day, like running, swimming, and playing badminton. Swimming is what I enjoyed most. I learned swimming when I was 5 years old and I went to swimming every day in the hot summer. I was good at running as well. When I was 12, I won the first prize in women\u2019s 800 meters and 1500 meters race in school sports meeting.<\/p>\n
However, things changed when I went to high school. The lack of sleep caused by heavy homework made me feel exhausted every day. Also, as I entered puberty and developed physically, I felt shy when wearing the swimming suit.<\/p>\n
When I went to college, I began to care about my appearance and I wanted to be skinny. I tried to do slimming exercises for 1 month but it didn\u2019t work, so I gave up and chose fast and eating diet pills. Totally I lost over 20 pounds in 1 months.<\/p>\n
I finally got the shape I want, but things went wrong with my body: I started to get sick frequently; sometimes I felt dizzy when I stood up; even walking and climbing up stairs could make me out of breath; my heart beat over 120 times per minute.<\/p>\n
One of my friends knew my situation and she warned me that I had to stop this unhealthy lifestyle. She recommended me a lot of articles and books about how to built a healthy weight loss plan. These articles helped me to know how to do exercises effectively and how to eat less but eat nourished. Now, I find myself fell in love with exercises and fitness.<\/p>\n
I know there are lots of girls worrying about their figure and may use wrong way to lose weight,\u00a0 just like what I did. Thus, I hope I can help these girls by writing healthy and fitness articles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
