With three little babies, I never took a break, completely ignoring any self-care. When I was too tired to make myself dinner, I'd just eat the kids' leftover cereal (麦片粥). I thought this was a great plan to lose some weight and called it the "Cereal for Diet." Back then, I knew nothing about nutrition. Of course, the Cereal for Diet failed, as did all my other attempts. One day, after cleaning up all the mess my kids had made, I went out for a walk. I passed a gym. I looked away. Healthy people went there, but this was not me. While turning away, I saw an ad for a six-month fitness challenge. I continued my fast walk in the opposite direction, but that sign just stayed on my mind. I still remember what finally motivated me to sign up for the challenge. It was a ten-minute period in which my son threw his spaghetti plate straight up, sending noodles and sauce flying everywhere. As soon as my husband got home, I said, "You're in charge." I made a beeline for the gym, marched straight in and said, "Fix me." And I was assigned a young and fit trainer, Emily. She asked what my goals were for the six-month challenge. At that moment, I was speechless. Noticing my embarrassment, Emily just handed me the heaviest weights I had in my life and said, "Okay, so in six months you will compete in a body-building show." I tried explaining, "No, I don't want to do a show. That sounds scary." She ignored my fear, and we jumped into strict workouts and nutrition planning. Over the next six months, Emily forced me to focus on myself—my wants and my needs. I learned to see food as strength and sweat as progress. I learned how to fuel my body instead of starving it, balancing proteins, carbs, and fats. Emily pushed me past my limits, correcting my form, timing my breaks, and cheering me on when I wanted to quit. I improved every day in the gym.

One day, Emily handed me an application form. I stared at the form,with a strong sense of helpless and anxiety flooding over me.I recalled the past time of me—a messy, fat, ordinary woman, and the critical words like "ugly" so believe. Just at that negative moment, Emily broke out my thoughts and claimed, "You've already changed from a family 'mother' to a 'Powerful Lady', why immersing yourself in the past rather than beginning a new chapter?" Starting Closing my eyes, stroking my body,I chatted with my self to find I decided to compete in the form. Since I've caught sight of my hard-working practice,Emily's sincere approval, and my desire to be a better me.
Soon I jumped into weeks of preparation. As I caught the cereal again,I prepared garbages, fruits and yogurt together. This time the "Cereal for diet" is both energetic and beneficial, for the reason that the skill of balancing proteins, carbs and fats were empowered by me. In the gym, running, swimming and documenting,
In the gym, running, swimming and documenting, I complete
it like a well-oiled machine. As the trainer awarded me as
the rolemodel of woman and lended me to speech, my
brain got in blank again. "Be yourself, loving yourself, focusing
on yourself, don't be limited by any other personality. Or you
can believe a saying 'Fake it till you make it'." The golden sunshine
cast a warm got on me, like appreciating my words that totally
followed my heart, documenting my growth in self-care.
