雙語君（微信ID：Chinadaily_Mobile）今天一翻日歷,，猛然發(fā)現(xiàn),，九月都過去一半了......

這里不禁問一句：

胖友們，你們的減肥大計(jì)進(jìn)行得怎么樣了,？,！

YouTube上一位叫做Jared的美國大叔，40歲之前是個(gè)450多斤的大胖子,，40歲之后的他痛下決心,，花了15個(gè)月減掉了270多斤，相當(dāng)勵(lì)志,。

Jared一直就知道自己很胖,，但常年的生活習(xí)慣讓他害怕做出改變：

I've been fat all my entire life. Every day I've woken up heavier than I was the day before. It was a fact in life and I accepted it. I didn't want to be fat. But I didn't fight to against it because I knew it would require to change a lifestyle. Actually I knew that wasn't just about diet and exercise. It's about altering the way I lived.

我一直就是個(gè)胖子，每天醒來都比昨天重一點(diǎn)兒,。我已經(jīng)接受這個(gè)事實(shí)了。我也不想成為胖子,，但我并沒有抵制肥胖,，因?yàn)槲也幌敫淖兾业纳罘绞健Ｊ聦?shí)上我很清楚,，這不僅和運(yùn)動(dòng),、飲食有關(guān)，更多的是要改變生活習(xí)慣,。

明明知道不能再放任自己,，可天生有一顆吃貨的心......

For the longest time I had no interest in changing. I knew that when I sat down to eat a box of donuts, they would made me fatter, that my back would hurt even more, and that it would be even harder to stand up and walk around.

一直以來，我都不愿意嘗試改變,。我知道我坐下來吃一盒甜甜圈會讓我變得更肥,，背也會更疼，甚至?xí)屛译y以起身行走,。

終于有一天,，他再也無法忍受自己的狀態(tài)了：

I finally got tired of being fat and unhealthy. It’s hard to say exactly what my breaking point was. It could have been when I passed the five hundred pound mark, but that was a year ago. Maybe it was buying pants and the largest size carried by the local fat guy clothing store.

我真的厭倦當(dāng)一個(gè)不健康的胖子了。我也不知道轉(zhuǎn)折點(diǎn)在哪兒,，可能是去年我的體重突破了452斤,，也可能是我去當(dāng)?shù)嘏窒壬醒b店定制特大號褲子的時(shí)候,。

Jared說自己這一年就要40歲了,，40歲已經(jīng)不小了，應(yīng)該逼自己一把了：

My birthday this year is another possibility; turning 40 is cause for reflection, isn't it? It does bother me that my performance at work has deteriorated. I’m too tired and worn out to sit in front of a computer for eight hours. I imagine that maybe it’s all of those reasons and more. Maybe it's doesn’t matter. What’s important now is that I’m ready to turn it around.

我今年的生日也是另外一個(gè)契機(jī),。都四十歲了,，該反思一下了，不是嗎,？而且肥胖已經(jīng)導(dǎo)致我的工作表現(xiàn)下滑,，在電腦前坐8個(gè)小時(shí)真的很累。我想可能還有別的原因讓我做出轉(zhuǎn)變,，或者這些都不重要,。但重要的是我現(xiàn)在下決心要改變了。

然后,，Jared就這樣鍛煉了15個(gè)月......

15個(gè)月后的Jared是這樣的,，簡直讓人不敢相信這是同一個(gè)人！

這個(gè)減肥效果，可以說是非常明顯了,！

讓我們重現(xiàn)一下這驚人的對比：

要知道，剛開始的Jared,，連腿都抬不起來......

完成這么大的轉(zhuǎn)變,，其中艱辛不是一兩句就能說清楚的。面對著鏡頭的Jared,，哽咽地說：

I still made a major accomplishment. I've forgotten how I opening.

我仍然完成了這項(xiàng)艱巨的任務(wù),，我都快忘了當(dāng)時(shí)是怎么開始的。

Jared 的故事激勵(lì)了許多胖友和其他的普通人：

看了Jared的故事，你有被激勵(lì)到嗎,？其實(shí)不僅減肥需要堅(jiān)持,，任何事情都需要日復(fù)一日的堅(jiān)持。
