I had major weight problems when I was growing up, I liked all of the wrong types of food and drinks.

I also had other things in my life, which were a concern for me, I suffered with a stuttering speech impediment from the age of four, I had a bald patch on my head from birth and I was also quite short for a male at only five foot four. These combined with my worries over my weight affected my self confidence. To relieve the stress and to bring a little happiness into my life I would comfort eat; this of course only made the problems worse. I am sure many of the readers of this article will fully understand when I say that I would then feel a huge sense of guilt about the amount of food that I had eaten.

Aged 21; I decided to fight back - I needed to become much fitter, healthier and thinner. I was now working for a front doors company and also part time for a firm which offered cheap calls, it was now time to attempt to lose some weight. I then went about formulating my own form of diet. I realised I had to cut out these wrong type of foods I was eating and to also drink far less alcohol. To say this was difficult was an understatement, however I knew that I had to be strong and to fight off my urges and cravings.

I decided that life would not be worth living if I stopped eating all of these types of food and drinking the alcohol and this was the plan I had:

Breakfast

For breakfast I would eat properly for example, a bowl of cereal or a couple of slices of toast.

Lunch

For lunch I decided that I would also be good and eat something like a healthy salad bowl or some pasta.

In between meal snacks

It was obvious that I had to stop eating in between meals as this I believed was the main factor why I was overweight.

Evening meal

Lets have some fun, this was the meal where I allowed myself some pleasure as I decided that I could basically eat what I wanted to, including pizza, my favourite.

For exercise I decided to ditch the car, wherever possible, and walk to more places. Something else that I started to do, and have continued to do, was to take my kids to the local playing fields on a much more regular basis. At the park we would play games such as football, cricket and baseball. It is amazing how much weight you can lose by having fun.
