Hello everyone,
My name is Jeremy and since the age of about 10 I have had problems with food. At 18 I was 18 stone and at 21 I was 21 stone.
My father adopted the system of food = love that other members of his family have and as a
consequence (though not entirely as a result of that) I ballooned to a massive 365lbs (27 stone and 4 pounds).
At the age of 31 I found myself suddenly single, homeless and unemployed having worked all my life since leaving school. Over the course of the next 18 months I went on to lose 15 stone (207 pounds).
It wasn't always easy and it certainly contains no magic secrets to success. Went from a 4XL to a medium. A 58 inch waist to a 32 inch waist. My collar went from 21.5 inches to 14 inches. I even lost a shoe size.
Most amusingly of all (though not for my optician who felt as though a terrible error had previously been made) I saw a 30% reduction in my astigmatism.
Along the way I learned I suffered from depression and slowly I learned to, if not love, than at least like myself. I went on to find love and to build a secure new life.
Since completing my journey I have helped others, including, a girl lose 140 pounds and several family and friends lose as much as 5 stone each.
That is my (stripped down) story.
