<입이트이는영어 - 8월 4일차 복습>
- 라디오 방송 및 공부 후기

As a newlywed, marriage was a blissful time for me. However, there was one unforeseen drawback. I started to gain weight. My appetite improved and I couldn’t stop eating. My wife’s cooking skill was a mixed blessing. Soon, I was packing on the pounds. My excuse was that I didn’t have time to work out. At first, the weight gain was barely noticeable. But in a flash, I had gained almost 10 kilograms. It was getting out of hand. That’s when I decided to go on a diet. I ate less. I ate mostly vegetables. Above all, I started to exercise. I did lose a bit of the excess weight, but it soon returned. Weight control is a life-long task.
