My problem with food began when I graduated from high school. About that time, I began eating out a lot. There were two fast-food restaurants near the place where I worked, so I ate lunch at one or the other almost every day. I found it much easier to go to a fast-food restaurant than to prepare my own lunch.When I moved away from home my eating habits got worse. I didn"t know how to cook, and I didn"t have much money; but my favorite fast-food restaurant was just two blocks away. Eating there seemed like the easiest and cheapest option. In addition to eating the wrong kind of food, I ate way too much. I wasn"t satisfied with a standard fast-food meal. I ordered more French fries, a larger soft drink, and an extra hamburger—whatever I could afford—in the largest size available.The turning point came when I was in my late 20"s. I started thinking more seriously about my health. I was overweight. I felt sluggish all the time, and I lacked self-confidence. I knew that I needed to make changes. So I began to try to get my eating under control.I took a gradual approach. First, I reduced the amount of food I ate. 1 would tell myself, "This isn"t my last meal; I can always eat again." At times I literally had to walk away from the dinner table. But I felt good afterward, as if I had won a victory.Besides I had to give up something completely. For example, I eliminated soft drinks and drank only water. That was difficult. I loved soft drinks, and I hated water. After I drank a glass of water, I would take a small cup of juice, which put some flavor in my mouth. After a while, water itself became more appealing.Now I still do go out to eat occasionally. But when I do, I control how much I eat. If the portion I"m served is too big, I ask for a take-out box. Then I put half of the meal in the box before I start eating. That way, I consume a reasonable portion instead of eating. The author ate in fast-food restaurants to ______.

Believe me, my memory is ______, if not better than it was in my teenage years.
A recent research suggests that nearly a third of adults, 31%, are not getting enough exercise. That rates of exercise have declined is hardly a new discovery. Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, technology and economic growth have created a world in which exercise is more and more an option rather than a necessity. In all, the researchers were able to pool data from 122 countries, covering 89% of the world"s population. They considered sufficient physical activity to be 30 minutes of moderate exercise five days a week, or 20 minutes of intense exercise three days a week, or some combination of the two. Unsurprisingly, people in rich countries are less active than those in poor ones, and old people are less active than young ones. Less obviously, women tend to exercise less than men—34% are inactive, compared with 28% of men. But there are exceptions. The women of Finland and Iraq, for example, move more than their male countrymen.
