Each of us struggles for self-respect and self-worth to some degree. I spent much time trying to achieve perfection in every aspect of my life.  I was a happy kid with a lot of friends and a supportive family. But growing up was really

36 and even scary sometimes.

During my childhood, I was constantly involved in something that included people’s viewing my achievements or my 37 . I wanted everyone’s praise and acceptance, but I was my own toughest critic (挑剔的人).

After I graduated from high school, my 38 to be “thin” began to trouble me. I began trying to diet by 39 my food.

In the beginning, I felt great—attractive and successful, almost superhuman. I even thought that I was better than everyone else. What I didn’t see was that I was slowly 40 myself.

People around me began to 41 my weight loss. They said with concern. “You’re losing too much weight.” “Elisa, you’re so thin.” All their words only suggested that I was getting closer to “ 42 ” .

Sadly, I took my physical 43 the first important in my life, 44 that it was the way to become successful and accepted.

Then I cut down my 45 more and more, until a 46 day consisted of half a teaspoon of nonfat yoghurt and coffee in the morning, and a cup of grapes at night.

But my poor 47 began to cause me to lose 48 . Then one night, like many nights before, I couldn’t sleep, and my heart felt as though it might beat out of my chest. I tried to

49 , but I couldn’t. The beating became so rapid and so strong that I could no longer

50 . What I had done to diet nearly caused me to have a heart attack. I stood up, and immediately fell down. I was really 51 , and I knew I needed help. My roommate rushed me to the 52 , beginning the long road to my 53 . It took a lot—doctors, nurses, nutritionists, food supplements…

And most important, a sense of what was true about myself got back on track with reality. I realized that, with my 54 of trying to be “perfect” on the 55 , I had sacrificed who I was on the inside. What I know now is, we are—each and every one of us—already perfect.

Welcome to Oyster

Oyster is a smart card which can hold Pay as you go credit, Travelcard and Bus & Tram(有轨电车) Pass season tickets. It is the cheapest way for you to pay for single journeys on bus, Tube, tram, DLR, London Overground and most National Rail services in London.

Pay as you go on your Oyster card

Using Pay as you go is cheaper than paying cash for most journeys.

Daily limit

If you’re unsure of the number of journeys you’re going to make, Oyster pay is easy for you to use. Make as many journeys as you like and you’ll never pay more than the daily limit for the zones you’ve travelled in. Daily limits are calculated over a 24-hour period, covering all the journeys starting between 4:30 and 4:29 the next day. There are different limits for different types of transport and times of day.

The system calculates the daily limit based on when and how you travel. Money will be taken away from your card each time you travel, until you reach a daily limit. This includes Pay as you go travel on bus, Tube, tram, London Overground and most National Rail services in London. River services and the Emirates Air Line do not contribute to your daily limit.
