Well I want to talk about a “small” change I made that became a big healthy change in the end, and it’s a change that’s still progressing.
我想说说我所做的一个“小”改变，它最终给我的健康带来了大变化，而且这个变化仍在继续。

I used to be totally addicted to sugar. So I decided one day to limit the amount of sugar I eat per day. I started out the rule that I can only eat 4 sugar items per day. The smallest piece of candy would count as a sugar item or the biggest slice of cake would count as a sugar item.
我过去吃甜食上瘾，所以有一天我决定要限制每天吃甜食的量，我开始制定每天只吃4份甜食的规定。最小块的糖算甜食，或者最大块的蛋糕也算甜食。

It went well, so I decided eventually only 2 pieces. I noticed eventually that even when I gave myself permission to eat more candies. I didn’t feel the need to.
计划进展得很顺利，所以我决定最终只吃2份甜食。我发现最后甚至允许自己多吃甜品时，我也不想吃了。

Eventually I decided to challenge myself and said “Ok no more sugar treats at all for at least 3 months.” I am now past 2 months, and giving up sugar entirely has been extremely easy.
最终我决定挑战自己，对自己说：“至少3个月一点不碰甜食”。现在两个月过去了，完全戒掉甜食对我来说超级容易。

I would like to say that I have in fact been losing weight, and I feel better now.
我想说我的体重其实一直在下降，我现在感觉好多了。
