It doesn’t come as much of a surprise to me that I am overweight; I eat too much and don’t exercise enough.
On Sunday I was walking round the supermarket looking for my food for the week and when we got to the pharmacy isle I spotted a new weight loss pill, now I know that hoping for medicine to make me thin is wishful thinking but it made me think maybe I should try again to lose a little weight, it will only make me feel better in the long run.
So I took a 4 week course of these pills to the counter and the woman in the store was very pleasant, she took me away from the customers and asked me a few questions, are the pills for you, are you taking any medication etc… So I answered all her questions and then she asked me to weigh myself so that they could work out my BMI to see if I could take the pills, the last time I weighed myself I was 18 stone and it was kind of depressing so I stopped weighing myself but when I got on the scales I found I was 20 stone 7 pounds! I kacked it. I knew I wasn’t thin but 20 stone, that scared me.
I have been eating relatively healthily since moving to Manchester anyway and to get to and from work I have to walk for 40 mins each way but I think it’s about time that I tried to turn things around.
