I thought she was unhappy when considering I was thin while she was beyond fat, but her words made me fear getting fat. I started freaking when my weight passed 130 pounds. Last fall, my doctor suggested that I walk my dogs more.

My weight at that time was 141 pounds. He told me that I could lose weight by walking my dogs. Over the winter months, despite my careful eating, my weight increased to 160 pounds and I noticed my jeans were then a size 12. I also noticed that my mastiff （大型驯犬） was out of control. She is a big dog and requires a great deal of exercise. My young Lhasa Apso was getting as lazy as I was, so I made a decision to walk both of them every day.

Every morning, after most people in the neighborhood go to work and after I finish my first few articles, I walk both of my dogs. They both love walk time and I love to walk them. The neighbors have got used to seeing us take our morning walk. They wave, walk out, and pet the dogs and then we move on.

I started out at 160 pounds and I'm getting closer to 130 pounds. I am proud of the fact
