Gleichgewicht

Since the age of six I have had a problem with my weight. I was introduced to the concept of suppers by my grandparents and started to put on weight. I have been fat ever since.

I first noticed something was wrong at age 10 when I was 7st 7lb. At that age though it is difficult to do much about it without supportive parents. They weren't particularly concerned so neither was I.

My weight ballooned during the 10 months I lived in the USA, climbing to 10st 10lb at age 12. This subjected me to some bullying when I returned so at age 14 I decided to lose weight, eventually going down to 7st again.

Weight gradually started to increase, particularly when I discovered beer. At university I didn't really care but as I was doing so much walking I didn't put much on.

Age 19 or so I vowed to lose more weight and got down to 9st 3lb. It has been steadily increasing ever since really apart from a stone I lost at the tail end if 2008 due to excessive gym use. Nowadays my work patterns are so erratic gym membership is not particularly viable.

In February last year I was 15st 6lb but went down to 14st 7lb somehow by October. I think this was down to healthier meals, more walking and swimming.

My recent workload means I have put more weight on. Annoyingly I don't put it on evenly, it all goes straight on my belly and nowhere else. This, typically, is the worst form of fat to have.

So I need to start losing it again but motivation is tough and I have tried numerous times before. I am trying to add more exercise into my daily routine - walking further to work and walking up more hills. Swimming is expensive and overcrowded, making it less enjoyable but I will go from time to time. Plus I may go jogging in the warmer months with my jock.

Whether this is another aborted attempt I don't know. I am an all or nothing guy so I know one alcoholic drink or meal out will send me off the fitness wagon. I know it's illogical but this is how my brain works. Wolfie has been gyming it in recent weeks and is succeeding - I feel guilty for not following suit.
