Day 6

- 5 lb

I'm still on the diet. I'm still in a bad mood with the diet. And I still do not wish to talk about the diet. Maybe I will turn a corner next week and feel the need to document my every mouthfull, but I very much doubt it. Me and the diet, do not get on!

When did I suddendly become so fat that people stopped feeling the need to tell me that I am? A few years ago a month wouldn't pass by where some kind citizen of the street wouldn't feel the need to remind me, "Oi Fatty" or my favourtie, just plain old, "Fat Cow". It's really died down recently...

I knew I was REALLY FAT When...

1. The sofa or the kitchen draw was no longer the fist place my family looked for their missing things: "Are you sat on my..." "Not again!"

2. Small children started doing circuit training for sport reflif, by doing laps, around me!

3. I bent over the in supermarket, to pick something off the bottom shelf, and my bottom knocked something off the shelves on the other side of the isle!

4. Even my socks don't fit me anymore.

5. One size fits all was minus four stones ago!

Day -8 years ago, age 19

I'm almost back at the flat, what a walk, I feel great. I just have to walk past the four take away shops and I'm done - yipee! A car draws up next to me, I assume they want directions so I look their way. A man leans out of the back window and shows me his bag of chips "Oi Fatty, fancy a chip?" I say the first, and most obvious thing that springs to mind, "Yes please!" No, I didn't, I said the second thing that sprang to mind and that was "Fuck off, Prick."
Meals on wheels drive off and I'm just about to put the key in the door when... A bag of chips and curry sauce hit me in the back, accompanied by the words: "Hungry, fatty?"

Day 6
Mmmmm, chips.
