Still reading...

Well, you have to realise you've got a problem, if you don't, just keep eating, you will die soon enough.

According to eveyone I discussed my diet with, it's not the reccomended approach, but here goes:-

1. Cut out a meal ( I only used to eat lunch and an evening meal), so now I just have an evening meal.
2. Excersie

Ok, So what has that actually meant:

Before

Well I tend to start work at 7:30am, get a large sandwich and extra for lunch and be back at work 20 minutes later, continuing until 4:30pm or 5:45pm, thats 8hrs 40 mins to 9hrs 45mins a day.

Now

I still get in at 7:30, but have realised that being healthy and alive is the most important thing to both myself and my company, I've done something everyone can do - start walk during my lunch period.

I'm not joking - Instead of getting a sandwich and an after snack, I've started walking every lunch hour and not eating.  Not only do you feel healthier after your walk, you do not even feel like eating.

If its raining (heavily, still don't eat, just walk twice as long the next day, work during lunch on day 1 and take a 2 hour lunch on day 2, it up to you to determine if you feel you can walk that far (about 6 miles) ), otherwise still walk.

A routine is the best thing you can achive.

Most of all be happy with they way you feel and what you know you are achiving.  I like to walk during the lunch period because in the UK we have a very good debate and current affairs program between 12:00 and 13:30 on Radio 4 followed by lively debate until 14:00 on Radio 2

I still go home at the same time in the evening, but I cannot be sure, but I feel metally alived and refreshed in the afternoon, although sometime physically exhauted.

To all Dieters, just lose it, we know we can!
