kilograms). I could feel the pain that my mom experienced with her fatness.
I was never uncomfortable about my mother, but I think she was uncomfortable about herself, and that
feeling was painful for all of us. And she began to lose weight.
After more than twenty years of battling obesity(肥胖), my mother completed a forceful
eighteen-month diet that left her ninety pounds lighter than before. A new woman was born! At age
twenty-eight, I got a new mom! For the first time, I met the woman my mother truly was, the beautiful
little lady under the fatness. It wasn"t so much her new body that was the surprise, but rather her new
spirit.
To celebrate her new size and to devote herself to dancing again, my mother joined a "Mrs. Forty-Plus" competition, where she would have to model, give a speech and provide a dance performance. She told
our family that she did not care if she won - she simply had always wanted to perform on stage.
She told each one of us, "I"m not doing it to win; I"m doing it to dance!"
The competition was exciting! I prayed that my mom would win, but while watching her on stage I was
simply overjoyed just by her effort. To me, she had already won. She posed to perfection, her speech
brought tears to everyone"s eyes, and her performance was wonderful.
That night, at age fifty-three, my mother was crowned (为......加冕) "Mrs. Forty-Plus". She was the

The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom
I heard him say." what? he"s all right?" he hung up and shouted upstairs." The hospital said we can bring
Richard home! "
"thank god!" I heard Mum cry.
From the upstairs window. I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them so happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I ran downstairs. My
