I used to be a fit guy. I had a good physique because I worked out quite a lot and kept myself in shape. I also used to eat quite healthily because I was proud of how I looked and was always popular with the ladies. My buddies and I were the ones that the girls wanted to be seen with because we really did look the part.
After I left school I got a job and decided to buy myself a cool motorcycle. I fell in love with this bike and to say I was never off it is really only an understatement in so far as I had to get off it for work and sleep. Other than that, I took it everywhere. I even rode it down to the local store which was a five minute walk from my house.
I also met and married the woman of my dreams and we had four babies together. Sounds perfect doesn't it? Well there is only one problem here, over the years I turned into Jabba The Hut. Instead of having a six pack, I now have a beer barrel and twenty chins to go with it. It must have been the fact that I never went anywhere without my trusted bike and the fact that myself and my lovely wife were so comfortable with each other that we felt the need to just eat whatever and whenever we liked.
So now I have become fat and I have the Fat Biker Patch to go along with it. Believe it or not I didn't even realize I had put on so much weight until I saw some old photos that a friend of mine brought round. I thought maybe I had put on a few pounds but as the years go by you tend to forget what you used to look like and just get used to the body you are in. I really should have had some idea however because I met an old buddy of mine from high school and he really did a double take when he saw me. I didn't think much of it at the time, as I said it was only when I saw these old photos that I realized that I must have put on at least four or five stone since I was in school.
I'm sure you can guess what happened next. Yes, I had to go on a diet. For someone who has never been on a diet in their life, this has been truly hard. I had become so used to eating all day long that to cut right down has left me feeling like I haven't eaten in a week. I am sick and tired of eating rabbit food at the moment but I am determined to carry on because so far I have lost a stone. It hasn't been easy but I'm sure that when I do reach my goal, it will have been worth it. I have bought another patch for my jacket to keep me motivated. The No Pain No Gain Patch makes me want to keep going and hopefully I won't be a Fat Biker for too much longer.
