My fight against obesity
by Dan Smith
I’m 24 years old. I used to have a huge craving for food as a child, eat a lot of fast food and become overweight. When I graduated from college, my weight was up to 100 kg. I started applying for jobs and going to interviews, but I was never accepted. I could feel the interviewer’s frustration. Because of my body size, they think I’m lazy and stupid. After hundreds of rejections, I decided that I needed to do something about my weight.
I found a website that advertises an effective way to lose weight in a month. I didn’t eat anything and just drank water with a little salt and sugar. After ten days, I fainted and was taken to the hospital. The doctors told me I would die if I didn’t stop the diet. They advised me to see Dr. Liam, a nutritionist.
Dr. Liam guided me through a healthy meal and exercise plan. For more than a year, I had to follow a special diet and attend an exercise class for obese people. It was difficult at first, but my family supported me the whole time I was obese. I have reached my ideal weight and feel great. Furthermore, I just got my first job.

My fight against acne
by Kim Lee
I am Kim Lee. I am now 17 years old. When I was at the age of 15 I started getting acne.
My face looked terrible and I always felt depressed and insecure about appearance. Then I came to see one of my best friends, who always gave me good advice and asked her for advice. She told me that I should wash my face several times a day and try different antiacne products, squeeze pimples often. But this way doesn’t help a lot. The result of that was 60% of my face was covered with acne.
I found a website advertising an effective way to remove acne, and they advised me to see Dr Kangnam. Dr Kangnam gave me a detailed plan to remove acne on my face. First, he advised me to wash my face only twice a day because washing face too often may cause skin irritation. Second, I have to take prescription medicine. Third, I had to follow a healthy diet. Dr Kangnam also advised me not to stay up late. After six months acne clears up. And now I feel very happy and confident.
