No more `FAT B******D'!!!
John Parry of Olney used to call himself the `Fat B*****d'.
Two major things triggered him to do something about his hefty frame of nearly 22 stone at over 6ft tall.
"While out for dinner one evening with my wife, I sat down, and couldn't fit in the chair. When the waiter
looked at me with disgust and asked if I would like a bigger chair, I was mortified. I thought you fat b*****d
you can't even sit in a chair!"
"More importantly, I was reaching my 55th birthday. No males in my family have reached that age, all dying
from heart attacks. I had a heart attack in 1995 and my doctor was very concerned about my survival. He
gave me 10­15 years to live if I kept going the way I was. I would skip breakfast, then pig out on burgers
from vans, doorstop sandwiches, drank about 40 pints of lager a week. My blood pressure and cholesterol
were through the roof."
"I heard about Sam's Weigh through word of mouth, and had seen the results of others, so thought I
would give it a go. I had tried fad diets before. Yes I would lose a stone, go back to my old ways then put
two stone back on. I needed someone to tell me what to eat,
and I would do it. I had the determination, just not the
guidance. That's where Sam came in. Having her come to the
house every week to weigh me, I knew I had to be a good
boy, to show her I could do it, but more importantly, show myself."
"I've drastically changed my diet. I now eat three healthy meals a day, snack on fruit instead of
chocolate bars and crisps, avoid bread and I have cut my drinking down from every day to one
evening a week. I couldn't possibly live without having a beer at all, so my Saturday evening down
the local pub is my treat."
So far, John has lost 60lb with Sam's Weigh since joining a year ago. He's gone down three sizes
in clothing, losing a total of 28 inches, of which ten inches are from his waist alone. "My double
chins have gone!"
John's cholesterol and blood pressure have both dropped to normal, with his doctor exclaiming
John had added at least another five years so far to his life with the weight he has lost and will
add more years the way he is going.
John, an avid golfer, says "One thing that really has changed is my game. Instead of feeling
exhausted by the end of 18 holes, I feel as fit as when I started. My game has improved as there
is no longer 60lb of bulk in the way of my swing!"
"I also love the feeling of
walking into a high street
shop and be able to fit
into `normal sizes' instead
of asking the assistant for
the `Fat B*****d' range."
"I want to lose another two stone and I'll be extremely happy. With
Sam's Weigh, I've lost the weight gradually. It's not a quick fix but at the
same time it hasn't been a struggle, I still have the occasional pangs for
the burgers, but I won't go back to the way I was. I see it from a
different light now. My mentality has changed. I know I can eat like this
for the rest of my life, which has been extended because of it. Sam has
changed my life in positive ways, I can't think of anything negative
about her diet. Without Sam's help I wouldn't be where I am now."
