Over Indulgers Anonymous

" My names Max ,and i`m a fat bastard ! "

Now i`m sure many reading this are completely shocked , you`re thinking “Sure we already knew you were a bastard, but fat ? “

Yes chunky hands up , i`m a hog .

I`m currently eighteen stone four, when really i should be fifteen .

Where did it all go wrong that`s what i ask ?.

I drink , stuff myself with fattening food and haven`t exercised for three months yet for some reason have still gained excess weight ???

Telling you even Columbo would be stumped !

Oh alright so maybe i have a tiny problem with will power when it comes to beer , BBQ ribs ,chocolate and making myself get into a physical activity that doesn`t just involve my hips .

Buy hey is that my fault ?

Anyway this is the reason for da thread , it`s a way to encourage myself to ease up on ramming things in my munching cave and start doing horizontal press ups, by myself .

Figure that maybe , just maybe if i keep a daft record of any weight loss (Hey i live in hope) it might encourage me to stick to whatever it was that caused the weight loss (Such as deliberate food poisoning ).

Also it might encourage others of a similar affliction to take strength , nay hope from my pound shifting success.


Of course as with all determined dieters i`m not beginning just yet , nah i`ll start on Monday .

Right now i`m too busy washing down triangles of toblerone with fermented hops .

Hey i need to build up my strength alright !

See that`s what this vitally important thread is all about , it`s about us fellow beer gutters uniting and supporting one another in this our time of wobbly need .

So if you feel brave enough to let us all know your over weightiness shout it out , and if you wish to join me in my flab shifting adventure then i bid you welcome.

Monday i`m intending to drink no alcohol , do at least fifty sit ups and push ups , eat no chocolate and no carbs either , plus have an evening meal that consists of an awful lot of greenery .

Yes VEG !

God help us all

18 stone 4!!! Fuck me gently with a ragman's trumpet! That's very impressive! What height are you? 7' 11" I hope!

Actually I have to own up to being a stone and a half heavier than I was 40 years ago - I'm now about 12 stone at 59 - If I hadn't smoked like a chimney all these years and thus avoided eating for pleasure, I'd be about 20 stone I guess!

Cheer up Max ,I'm older and fatter than you:20 of your English stones, at a mere 76 inches tall.I'm going to lose weight ....sometime.

"If You Can’t See Your Penis, You Might Be Too Fat. You’ve got to always keep your penis in sight if you want to live longer. So guys – lean down those bellies – or get a penis enlargement."

When I years ago (12 years to be correct) dramatically reduced smoking from 15 a day to 3 a week, I started to gain lot more weight, because food tested better than ever, at same time I started to spend more time with computer, so I became quite chubby. After realising it I was very disappointed and maybe depressed too, so I started to increase the time spent with my physical hobbies; cycling, walking, and playing drums and after year and half I was able to see my Love Missile F-1-11 again!
I reduced eating greasy food dramatically, but I still have one "eat everything you want"-day for week, It`s nice to wait that day every week and even plan before what to eat.

Yes, and there`s no way to start smoking again to keep slim!

I have regular check-ups at with my Doctor as I have high blood pressure. I take 3 different types of pill every day to help reduce my blood pressure. I'm also weighed. The last time I was 132 kgs! My Doctor did send me on a weight loss course. This involved short bouts of rigourous excercise 3 mornings a week. I duly partook in this course for 8 weeks and at the end I lost 6 kgs (about a stone).

I do eat a lot, I try to eat healthy and consume plenty of fruit and veg - but I do enjoy fry-up's and fish & chips, etc. I've never smoked and I don't drink alcohol.

I took up cycling in 2004 to shed my beer belly. I went from 15 stone to 10. I'd cycle 25 miles 4/5 times a week. I became addicted. I stopped drinking and stopped all fatty foods. Was I happier? no. So now I'm 12 stone; bit of a paunch but still work out when I can. The world is obsessed with weight. You are what you are, and I judge people not by their weight/looks, but by their personality.

In answer to the questions

I`m six foot three and no i can`t see my penis , well the end of it that is , but then i am in the other room

Oh and the real problem with being a good three stone heavier than i feel i should be is it`s putting pressure on my knee joints , 16.7 i can cope with but anything above that and i really start to get deep annoying aches in the center on my knees. Actually it`s all because they were messed up during my first career when the caps popping twice . Only i think they were originally weakened when i played Rugby for my school under the tutelage of a Coach who i believed learned his craft as commandant of Bergen-Belsen. Yeah a great guy ,helped me tape up my left Achilles tendon when it snapped and sent me back out onto the field .

Anyway point is i`ve really got to get the weight under control as otherwise i foresee me hitting nineteen stone by the end of the month.

So i`m taking it totally seriously and when i`ve drunk my last three cans won`t buy anymore , until Friday.

Figure each can is roughly 200 calories and on average i have three a night , so that`s six hundred a day i`m saving right there .

Plus i`m going to cut out the carbs like i say and try to eat chocolate only on Friday .

Going to do my best to lose at least a stone , then i`ll regroup and charge again , well once i`ve celebrated with an awful lot of booze and food for a day or so.

All i can say is i`ll be truthful with how i do , and try to use this page in the same way as a pal of mine uses his visits to the actual weight watchers IE motivation by guilt

Of course if anyone else wants to try and shift a few packs of lard along with me that`d be cool

Although if not

Then i hope that next slice of beautiful cheesy salami covered pizza goes down the wrong way

I piled on weight when I quite smoking 10 years ago and have a hell of a job controlling my weight.
Its starting to drop off a bit now but I'm struggling to get under 12 stone which at 5' 8" is too heavy.
Like you Max I attribute a lot of my weight problem to drinking heavily and also like you I am going to cut out midweek drinking.

I'll let you know how I do.

Three weeks ago I was 14stone 5lbs but I have shifted the 5lbs and now just 14 stone.

I am 6ft first thing in the morning and aged 50.

I need to move another 12 lbs, so count me in

My problem, curries, bread, red wine, chocolate.

I have cut out chocolate, eat a curry one per week and drink on 4 nights instead of 7. I have cut out bread, pasta, and potatos.

Next job is to drop the wine and switch to a gin and slimline tonic 4 nights per week

edit, hang on the thread title includes the word 'anonymous'.......my name is porky of Wharfedale...........oh bugger.....too late

" Welcome dbailey " fellow OA member

Mmmmm curries , bread and chocolate ,sounds like the perfect sandwich in the making

That is with the addition of mayonnaise

" No No No "

We must focus , remember the only thing to fear is delicious tasting filling food itself !.

Our mission is clear , and yes it carries great risk .

The enemy is all around us , be it in recyclable cans , brightly coloured inviting wrappers or convincing television adverts !

Yes and it`s true some of us might not make it

Yet by our thanks we solemnly swear to look temptation in the eye and out stare it !


For we know our ultimate goal is achievable


That being to have lost enough weight that we can afford to celebrate with a bargain bucket and a six pack
