Success Story: WAYNE'S HALF THE MAN I wish I had known sooner that it was possible. For years and years I longed to be slim and felt frustrated at the feeling that there was nothing I could do. I began putting on weight when I gave up my childhood love of playing sports. I started each day with two hunksof bread thickly spread with butter and jam, a bowl of cereal with plenty of sugar and a couple of cups of tea with full cream milk. Forelevenses, I'd have a mug of coffee and half a packet of biscuits or a wedge of cake. Lunch was huge amounts of meat, potatoes and vegetables and a pudding. Cream cakes, doughnuts, biscuits and sausage rolls saw me through to tea-time, which consisted of a fry-up with bread and butter. Supper was stacks of crackers with butter and cheese and hot chocolate. If I was still hungry, I'd eat more biscuits. The weight piled on. I walked around in tent-like T-shirts and baggy trousers fastened with a belt which had to be made especially for me. One evening when I had to walk home from a party, I had gone only twenty yards before I had to sit on a wall to recover. My body was horribly fat. My stomach was so huge I could barely get my arms around it. I was a physical mess. Yet, somehow, I managed to convince myself that I didn't look too bad. But when you're twenty-three, life is full of humiliations. Wherever I went people stared at me. Simply travelling on a bus or train was an ordeal. I hated buying clothes and hearing the salesmen's sneers of "we don't do your size". Then, one day a friend tricked me into visiting a new club. I imagined bar and I was horrified when I walked into a room with a lot of women and weighing machine. But I felt too embarrassed to leave and thus I learnt about the "Fit for Life" programme. For the first time I was told that I could eat and lose weight. From that day on everything in my life changed. Of course I was put on a diet at the beginning. But it was easy to change it into a good habit. started exercising and I began to develop muscles and stamina together with my self-confidence. It made me smile when I remembered there were times when I could barely lift the teapot. After six months I bought my first pair of jeans. I felt terrific; there was no going back. Now I know: you don't have to feel trapped and defeated; the power to transform everything is in your hands. (adapted from Slimming)​
