I never expected that the handsome boys and girls in our department when I was in college would all be different at the class reunion many years later. On the contrary, the fattest girl in our class has successfully lost weight and looks unique and charming.

Shanshan must have weighed one hundred and eighty pounds when she went to college!

Yes, it’s that exaggerated.

I remember a physical examination organized by the school. Every time a girl jumped on the scale lightly, the physical education teacher would happily report a number. Basically, no one weighed more than 100 kilograms. !

When it was Shanshan’s turn, we all held our breath, because her weight has always been a secret, and we all wanted to know how much she weighed.

Shanshan stepped onto the scale slowly and awkwardly, closed her eyes in shame, and the physical education teacher smiled and said: "Ninety, ninety, ninety kilograms! ”

We couldn’t help laughing.

Shanshan ran out and ran outside the playground. Only then did we realize that we were wrong, and we quickly chased her. Unexpectedly, Shanshan fell down at the door of the playground, and we couldn't help laughing again.

When we were young, we were too self-righteous at that time, and how could we care about the self-esteem of a fat girl.

After graduation, everyone signed a job smoothly, but Shanshan never had the courage to go for an interview. She seemed to have been avoiding going to work, so she naturally I went to take the postgraduate entrance examination.

At that time, the goal she set for herself was to go to a prestigious school in Beijing, but her grades were not good, so her class teacher jokingly said: "This is not Let’s do the rhythm of being cannon fodder!”

We laughed heartily, lowering our heads and saying nothing.

In fact, Shanshan did not pass the exam in the first year, but we vaguely felt that she seemed to have lost some weight. At that time, we had all been working for a year, and many girls had begun to learn to dress themselves up. But Shanshan had been studying hard for the postgraduate entrance examination for a year and did not go to work. Therefore, at the college class reunion, Shanshan only met everyone once and went back to study. . At that time, our favorite game was "Truth or Dare", and we were most concerned about where we could find unique clothes and where vegetables and fruits were more affordable and high-quality. However, continuing to study and read hard was really far away from us. It's so far away that we don't even want to mention it.

Shanshan’s postgraduate entrance examination was so domineering that she took the exam for three years. Fortunately, she was finally admitted to that prestigious school in Beijing. When she went to graduate school, we were surprised to find that she had lost a lot of weight, and most importantly, Shanshan had become more confident. When we asked about her weight one after another, she said to herself: "Now it is less than 160 pounds. The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still have to work hard."

We They all laughed, laughed very happily, and felt that Shanshan had become much more optimistic.

When we met Shanshan again, it was already seven years after graduation. She had lost the weight of a girl and turned into a beauty weighing less than 100 kilograms. We gathered around Shanshan and saw her wearing a decent suit and exquisite high heels, but we couldn't connect her with the girl on the stadium who was so clumsy that she fell to the ground.

So, we immediately sat in a group to listen to this inspiring story.

Shanshan said that when she was very fat, she felt afraid deep down. She did not dare to go out to buy clothes, go out on blind dates, or eat high-calorie foods. , afraid to travel. She was inexplicably afraid, all because she was too fat. She had no choice but to shut herself in the room and read, memorize English words, and review for the postgraduate entrance examination. When I first prepared, I probably felt like I was escaping, and I didn't really think about passing the exam. Later, she found that she gradually entered a state of studying hard. If she did not read or learn English for a day, she would be afraid and feel that she was about to be eliminated.

In order to lose weight smoothly, she has done many extreme weight loss programs, such as acupuncture, diet, yoga, etc. Helpless, Shanshan's obesity gene is too strong, and almost all of her family members are obese, so whenever she sees her torturing herself and still not getting better, her mother, who is also extremely obese, will come over to comfort her: "Shanshan." Shan, in my mother’s mind, you are as thin as a reed. Don’t lose weight, I feel bad.”

“Have you ever seen such a fat reed?” You have to lose weight, this is not about losing weight, this is about challenging yourself."

"My family is all fat people, I don't think there is anything wrong with being fat."

"I don't want to be a fat man."

"A fat man will not die!"

"Mom!"

In order to lose weight better, she began to combine study and exercise. She listened to English while running. This one Persistence means seven years.

After seven years, she knows exactly how many steps and how long it takes to run on the park road. She ran on the road, from panting to walking as fast as flying, from like a big raccoon to leaping like a monkey. Every time the uncle at the gate of the park saw her, he would applaud to show his admiration. She would also smile to express her gratitude.

After graduating from graduate school, she not only successfully lost weight, but also spoke English very well. After that, she actually successfully applied for a job as an international reporter.

Shanshan’s weight loss experience was so counter-intuitive that we couldn’t help but touch our belly and fat, and vowed on the spot to join her in running and lose weight.

Shanshan called the waiter on the spot and asked him to take away all our drinks: "From now on, you can no longer drink sugary drinks, just like me." Drink boiled water! ”

We were so confident just now that we suddenly lost our confidence. Even before we started running, the simple confiscation of coffee and juice already made us panic. As a result, everyone backed down and said that it would be okay to be fat. There was also a guy who was against his will with a trembling double chin and said that he was not fat at all and enjoyed his current state.

Shanshan stood up gracefully and drank the boiled water in one gulp: "You guys go on, I'm going on a date!"

At that moment, I suddenly remembered her when she had just graduated from college. She was so shy, always afraid to stand in public, afraid to speak loudly, and afraid to fall in love. She is completely different now, her confidence, calmness, and calmness are fascinating.

We are all feeling that maybe human beauty also has stages. But the premise is that you have the courage to change yourself and are willing to work hard to become a better version of yourself. And you don’t know how long this process of hard work will last. It’s like walking in the darkness, like running in the morning fog. You don’t know when a light will light up in front of you, but you have to keep running.

The so-called courage to change and challenge yourself is actually to get rid of the familiar "psychological comfort zone."

Psychology The author vividly takes seawater as an example of human understanding of the external world, which is divided into three areas: shore, shallow water area and deep water area. The area on the shore is people's "psychological comfort zone."

If you are a person who cannot swim, you must feel that staying in the comfort zone of the "shore" is the safest, and every step forward, you will feel panic and Uneasiness will increase one point, so many people would rather stay in the comfort zone of the shore. People who indulge in the "psychological comfort zone" may be employees who are dissatisfied with the status quo and want to change jobs but are afraid; they may be singles who long for love but stay at home; they may be dissatisfied with their bodies and want to lose weight but cannot be like Shan. We work equally hard.

Whenever someone asks me, is it really important to keep working hard?

I will always think of Shanshan’s experience. If persistence in hard work is not so important, maybe she will be like us, working after graduation, ignoring her weight, and becoming the inconspicuous fat person in the office. If persistence and hard work were not so important, she might not stay at home alone to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination, which lasts three years.

During the three years when she took the postgraduate entrance examination, many of her classmates had become old employees of the company and had already relaxed their vigilance in the familiar working environment and became a little numb. This is how the gap is formed. You are still standing still, you have already relaxed your vigilance; others are still working hard and running. Because the comfortable shore is not static. When the sea tide rises, the comfort zone is likely to be submerged. Just like if we don't improve ourselves, our comfort zone will become smaller and smaller. Eventually, the place that was originally your comfort zone will disappear, and you will be troubled by panic and uneasiness while standing where you are.

Each of us is on the road to changing ourselves. It is not that you can become another more perfect version of yourself after seven years, but that you have always insisted on becoming a more perfect version of yourself. Only by being a good yourself and working hard can you become what you want to be.

Before departure, please examine yourself three times a day and ask yourself, are you really thin? Handsome? Beautiful? Rich? If you are silent, please work hard silently and throw away that poor self-deception! (Excerpted from "The World Never Owes Everyone Who Works Hard" written by Wei Na)
