暴飲暴食(Binge eating & drinking)

她被男友拋棄了(to be jilted/ to be dumped)，她變得自暴自棄(to abandon herself to despair)，更暴飲暴食(to go on a binge)。眼見她天天以淚洗面 (to cry buckets)，身邊的人都不敢提起這個敏感話題(to broach this sensitive subject)。

她看看鏡子，胖得連自已也看不慣(can't stand/bear the sight of herself)。他倆剛分手(to break up/ to split up)，她又收到前男友快要結婚的消息，對她來說簡直是晴天霹靂(the news hit her like a thunderbolt/ the news came as a bombshell)。這壞男人還邀請她做伴娘(bridesmaid)。原來自已只是一廂情願(it was a one-sided relationship)，還一直被蒙在鼓里(to be kept in the dark)。他心懷怨恨(to be embittered) ，準備要向舊男友報復(to square/ settle accounts with him)

她決定以最佳姿態出席婚禮(to attend the wedding in her best shape)，實行搶盡新娘子的風頭(to steal the spotlight)。她開始了減肥大計。其實她曾多次試過地獄式減肥(intense/ extreme diets)，但總是半途而廢(to give up halfway)。她開始節食(to go on a diet)，奉行每次少食多餐的原則(to adopt a little-and-often approach/ to eat little and often)，並堅持每天跑步，以減走身上的贅肉(flabby muscles)。她吃得很清淡(to have a light diet/ a lightly seasoned diet)，每餐都是以白焯為主，而且無糖無油(sugar-free and oil-free)。最初吃起來淡而無味(to taste bland/ insipid)，使她萌生放棄的念頭，但她咬緊牙關(to grit her teeth)，終於看到成效(to take effect)，她足足減掉了20磅(to lose a staggering 20 lbs)！
