What makes me grow to 180 pounds?

The BMI (Body Mass Index) of a normal 20- year-old girl is about 18.5 to 24, and mine is 34.It is a desperate number which is nearly a double to the standard. You can easily imagine who much I hate summer: I sweat like it is having storm outside; I have to wear long trousers in summer, because the short one are too skinny to fit my legs; I can’t go to swim because there are no swimsuit that suits me. You may think my mountain-like-body was due to I have been eating too much. Believe it or not, I was 100 pounds only when I was17. There are something more than food behind the bathroom scale.

My poor metabolism makes me fat. I seldom drink water since I was a primary school student. It was because my bladder is born to be smaller than other people. For example, if I drink I can of Coke, I need to rush to the washroom after 20 minutes; and I need to go for 4 times more to drain out the whole can of Coke. It is nearly impossible to ask the teacher to let you go to washroom every half an hour, they will think you are either making trouble or abusing drugs. Gradually, I drink lesser and lesser to prevent from excretion. Now, I can survive with only 400ml water a day. This behavior makes my body lacks liquid perpetually, and makes my circulatory system works very slowly. The waste in my body becomes difficult to get out; as a result, they accumulate and become layers on my body.

My poor drinking habit leads me to another reason that makes me fat----the Nephritis. You may start thinking that my fat has rushed to my mouth and makes me speak incoherently: What is the relationship between a kidney disease and obesity? Actually, there is no direct connection between the two events. The thing that makes me fat is the medicine I took. I had suffered from Nephritis when I was 16, my kidneys didn’t function well at that time. As a result, I had to dialysis and took steroids very often to make sure the trash in my body could leave smoothly. However, there was a very serious symptom after I took the medicines; at least, I think it is very serious. Dialysis made my weight rises sharply. I had grown from 100 pounds to 130 pounds within 3 months. I was not only buying new-large-size clothes, but also losing my confidence to my figure.

Broken up with my boy friend makes my weight arising went to the peak. My first lover turned his back to me when I can no longer fit into small size jeans; this made me wash my face with tears for weeks. The best way to express my sorrow was, to eat. I lose my control and ate like a goldfish. I could eat 6 meals a day at the peak period. 10 chicken wings, 3 pork chops, one dozen of sausages and 3 bowls of rice could disappeared easily from my mouth. The consequence of my eating disorder was my body weight rose to 190 pounds! The number is nearly the sum of two normal girl’s weight. When I looked into the mirror, the meat mountain makes me feel depressed and this drove me to eat more; the vicious cycle continues.

The pain of  losing love is nothing to me now. I decided to rebuild me confidence by making myself attractive by wear off the fat. I’ve drink 8cups of water a day, having a balance diet and do enough exercise in order to solve the problem from the source. I am now 180 pounds and I believe I will become 100 again in a near future, bless me to achieve my goal.
