Marsha Potts had been overweight most of her adult life. 玛莎·波茨成年后的大部分时间都超重。

She could eat an entire deep-dish pizza by herself. 她一个人就能吃掉一整个深盘披萨。

Walking was a struggle. 走路对她来说很吃力。

She couldn't catch her breath, 她喘不过气来，

and she leaned on grocery carts just to stay upright. 只能靠着购物车才能站稳。

She avoided the doctor, 她避开医生，

certain she would be told to lose weight, 确信医生会让她减肥，

and she believed her weight would one day kill her. 她也相信自己的体重总有一天会要了她的命。

One day, she called her sister, a nurse, asking for diet pills. 有一天，她打电话给她的护士姐姐，询问减肥药。

Instead, her sister suggested a program built on simple habits. 然而，她姐姐却建议她尝试一个基于简单习惯的计划。

Keep a journal, 记日记，

cut the fat, 减少脂肪摄入，

eat smaller portions. 少食多餐。

So Marsha tried. 于是玛莎尝试了。

She filled up on salad vegetables, and slowly her cravings for fatty food faded. 她吃了很多沙拉蔬菜，对油腻食物的渴望也慢慢消退了。

It's amazing how your body can adjust, she said. “身体的适应能力真是惊人，”她说。

She drank water by the bottle, and she began to walk, a little farther each week. 她一瓶一瓶地喝水，并开始走路，每周都走得更远一点。

In two years, she lost nearly 190 pounds. 两年内，她减掉了近190磅。

Her message to anyone who has given up? 她想对所有放弃的人说些什么？

Try it one more time. 再试一次。

You can find a way to make it work. 你总能找到一个办法让它成功。

Sometimes the body that feels like a prison is only waiting for one more attempt. 有时候，感觉像牢笼的身体，只是在等待再一次的尝试。
