I had to be the thinnest. Now, however, fully recovered, I can reflect (反思)back and realize that my wishes were more complex(复杂)than fitting into size five pants. Many of my subconscious (意识)emotions were related to my relationship with my father. As 1 was growing up,his work always came first. Sometimes 1 would not see him for up to two weeks. Not only did he devote his whole self to his work, but he expected me to do the same ("You cannot get anywhere unless You go to the best universities"). Though,consciously,I never felt pressure to please him,I began dieting after the first time he told me I looked fat. At the time. All I knew was that I had to be skinny--skinnier than anyone else.
