How I changed my life.I go to the Gorgeous Body Club four times a week. When I 1)..... (begin)going there, I 2)..... (be)in terrible shape. I 3)..... (not ever go)to a healthy club before, and I 4)..... (not eat)right for years. On the day I 5)..... (join)the club, I 6)..... (be)thirty pounds overweight, and my girlfriend 7)..... (worry)about my health for a long time. On the first day of my new exercise program, I 8)..... (run)a mile, 9)..... (swim)twenty laps, 10)..... (take)a half-hour exercise class, and 11)..... (sweat)in the sauna. I 12)..... (think)I was going to die! While I 13)..... (sweat)in the sauna, I 14)..... (dream)about going home to an enormous sandwich, French fries, a Coke, and a huge hot fudge sundae! But at that time, nobody 15)..... (tell)me about the diet program at the health club. I 16)..... (change)clothes in the locker room and 17)..... (think)about my hot fudge sundae when my exercise instructor 18)..... (come)up and 19)..... (tell)me that the diet class 20)..... (just begin)and that I 21)..... (be)five minutes late. “Diet class?” I 22)..... (say), horrified. I 23)..... (tell)him that nobody 24)..... (mention)such a thing to me. Well, I somewhat reluctantly 25)..... (go)over to the diet class. When I 26)..... (walk)in, a terribly thin young woman 27)..... (give)a lecture on all the foods we shouldn’t eat. She 28)..... (point)to a list of forbidden foods which she 29)..... (put)on the blackboard. All my hopes 30)..... (sink)when I 31)..... (see)all my favourite foods on the list. Then the young woman 32).....(say)that she 33)..... (come)to Gorgeous Body for two years and 34).....(teach)the diet class for six months. She 35)..... (tell)us she 36)..... (weigh)197 pounds when she 37)..... (start)the program. Of course that 38)..... (be)very inspiring! Everyone in the class 39)..... (swear)to come to class regularly and to keep the strict diet. This 40)..... (be)all a year ago. One day at lunchtime last week, as I 41).....(eat)my spinach salad, I 42)..... (think)about how my life 43)..... (change)and how wonderful I 44)..... (become). I 45)..... (not eat)a single French fry since I started my diet. I 46)..... (exercise)two hours a day for the past year. And for several weeks I 47)..... (think)of entering the Mr. America Contest. I 48)..... (try)many times to persuade my girlfriend to join the health club and become as healthy and as perfect as I was. However, as I 49)..... (drink)my nonfat milk, I sadly 50)..... (remember)that she 51)..... (recently leave)me. She said that I 52)..... (become)a new person but that she53)..... (prefer)the old me to the thin, vain one. She said it seemed that I 54)..... (trade in)a pleasant personality for a Mr. America body, and she didn’t think it was a good trade. FUTURE FORMS
