托福阅读材料之减肥正能量！女子一年瘦88磅！

一名女子用一系列照片记录下了自己不可思议的减肥经历：一年内她瘦了88磅（约为79.8斤）！这些照片表现出了她是如何戏剧般地改变了她的身材，并重建自信。

26-year-old Amanda, who did not reveal her last name, embarked on a high-fat, moderate protein and low-carbohydrate diet in 2011 in a bid to shrink her then-222lb frame.

26岁的阿曼达（未透露姓氏）在2011年开始了高脂、适量蛋白以及低碳水化合物的饮食，希望能减掉一些体重，当时她重达222磅（约为201斤）。

In just a year, the five-foot-four brunette lost 88lbs, taking monthly pictures throughout the process, which one of her impressed viewers compiled into a five-second GIF.

仅仅一年后，这个身高5.4英尺（约为1.64米）留着深褐色头发的姑娘减掉了88磅，并在整个减肥过程中每个月都拍下了照片。一位被她感染的网友将这些照片制作成了一张5秒的GIF动图。

 

 

Amanda told ABC News that the transformation took place in her mind as well as her body. The GIF clearly shows how the weight loss affected every inch of her body, from her shrunken waist to her thinned-out neck and flattened tummy.

阿曼达告诉ABC新闻，这个改变不仅发生在她的身形上，还在她的心里。GIF动图也清晰地表现出减肥是如何影响她的每一寸身体的，从更纤细的腰身到细长的脖子和更平坦的腹部。

'In the early stages of taking progress pictures, I literally only took one photo of myself. I hated the way I looked,I had so little self-confidence .' she wrote.

她在网上写道，“早些时候我拍摄照片，只会为自己拍一张。我讨厌自己那时的样子。我当时几乎没有自信。”

But as the images - which garnered a staggering 3million views - progress in time, Amanda is seen looking happier, healthier and much more self-assured.

但是当照片上呈现的效果慢慢进步后，阿曼达看起来更高兴、健康也更自信了。这些照片的浏览量达到了惊人的300万。
