在2013年元旦，汉娜·詹金斯（Hannah Jenkins）做出了她以前做出的同样的决议。这次，它卡住了。
詹金斯说：“我一生都超重了。”詹金斯当时是东田纳西州立大学278磅重的新生。“除了以低于200以外，我从来没有做过特定的体重目标。不过，我确实想成为牛仔裤的8号。”
我们会有点破坏故事：她到达那里。她在大学中途改变了自己的职业计划，这已经足够改变生活。去年春天，她成为媒体的宠儿也没有受到伤害 - 它肯定了她做出了正确的选择。
Growing up in Knoxville, Tennessee, Jenkins and her sisters ate out five times a week.
“My parents didn’t have a lot of nutritional knowledge,” Hannah explains. “Meals at home were frozen convenience foods like burritos, fries, corn dogs and chicken patties. We always had lots of junk food around the house like Little Debbies and chips and ate whatever and whenever we wanted. In the South, it’s acceptable to be overweight.”

But she didn’t like the way it felt, inside or out. “When you’re overweight and someone’s talking about someone else who’s overweight, I felt ashamed,” she says. “You think people are talking about you.”
So she started working out at the campus gym. “I thought you lost weight by exercising,” she says. “But when I took the time to research, I learned exercise is just one part of it. So I started counting calories in my head.”
当她找到myfitnesspal时，一切都咔嗒一声了。詹金斯（Jenkins）能够在同一地方记录餐点并运动，而不是独自跟踪卡路里，碳水化合物和糖。而且，如果她渴望酸味的糖果，她最喜欢的，她可以快速点击糖的摄入量。
当新生获得了刻板印象的15磅时，詹金斯在新年和夏季之间减轻了很大的体重 - 回家和感觉与她离开时的感觉有很大不同。
“I didn’t weigh myself until January of the next year,” says Jenkins, who currently weighs 175. “I’m the kind of person who can be discouraged by the scale if I don’t see it going down as quickly as I want, so I decided not to weigh myself until I was 100 percent ready to see what that number was.”
但减肥影响超过她的健康d appearance. Toward the end of her sophomore year, Jenkins decided mass communications wasn’t her path and changed her major.
“It hit me that I wanted to switch to nutrition when I realized what a huge impact learning about nutrition had on my life,” she says. “I wanted to share that knowledge with others so I could help others change for the better, too.”
詹金斯（Jenkins）最喜欢的两个课程是人类的代谢和营养生物化学，在那里她了解了身体如何分解食物的能量。
她说：“学习人体如何使用蔬菜等健康食品以及当我们吃不太健康的食物等奶酪汉堡等健康食品，这是令人大开眼界的。”“这些课程确实帮助我将食物视为燃料，而不是娱乐或舒适的来源。”
他们启发了她减轻体重。她说：“我意识到，作为营养学家，人们会向我寻求建议。”“没有人会想了解如何从看起来自己体重健康的营养学家那里减肥。”
尽管詹金斯三年前减轻了体重，但最近的功能People， 上MSN.comandSFGATEhave celebrated her accomplishments — and given her new opportunities to help others.
她说：“现在有了关注，我几乎更感激，因为它表明我减轻了体重并保持了体重。”“我有很多女孩在社交媒体上伸出援手，说我启发了他们减肥或变得更健康。大多数人不知道如何减肥或跟踪卡路里的重要性。大多数人似乎都想听到我对减肥有某种特殊的秘诀，但是归根结底，这一切都比您要燃烧更多。”万博彩票下载安卓狗万体育买球
Three people can already attest to her combination of education and experience: Jenkins’ father, twin sister and younger sister have lost a collective 276 pounds, all inspired by her hard work.
Jenkins graduated in May and is firming up her plans for the future, both personally and professionally.
她说：“我专注于变得越来越强大，并在适应性的日常工作中变得更加全面。”“现在，我的目标是能够进行上拉。我的最终职业目标是与超重的儿童和青少年合作。经历童年的超重并不有趣，我想帮助其他孩子不必经历我所做的事情。”
