My belly was very small in comparison. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/howtogrowfat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_0061.jpg?resize=640%2C576&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/howtogrowfat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_0061.jpg?resize=1024%2C921&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/howtogrowfat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_0061.jpg?resize=300%2C270&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/howtogrowfat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_0061.jpg?resize=768%2C691&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/howtogrowfat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_0061.jpg?w=1044&amp;ssl=1 1044w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At 60 years old, I weighed about 110 kilograms (242 pounds). I got plenty of exercise riding my bicycle, going to the gym and swimming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was living above a sushi shop. Any day that they didn&#8217;t sell all their sushi, they let me have the leftovers instead of throwing them in the rubbish. I loved getting free food. It tasted delicious though I tended to still feel hungry even after eating several sushi rolls<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"179\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/howtogrowfat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Sushi2.jpg?resize=250%2C179&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I didn&#8217;t mind being that heavy. In fact when doing volunteer work loading rubbish into a rubbish skip, I could jump up and down on that rubbish and squash it down really well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"352\" height=\"694\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/howtogrowfat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P26Dec08.jpg?resize=352%2C694&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/howtogrowfat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P26Dec08.jpg?w=352&amp;ssl=1 352w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/howtogrowfat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P26Dec08.jpg?resize=152%2C300&amp;ssl=1 152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 352px) 100vw, 352px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However my family and friends were worried about my health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The spokes of my bicycle tended to break. I could not fit between the rows of loudspeakers and hi fi equipment in the storeroom where I worked. When installing audio visual cables in customer&#8217;s homes, I did not fit in narrow spaces under buildings or in ceiling spaces to install the wiring. I didn&#8217;t even fit through some ceiling access hatches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"186\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/howtogrowfat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/FatMeasurement.jpg?resize=300%2C186&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My Body Mass Index was more than 33 which is more than overweight. It is obese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I got some diet and exercise advice at the gym. A diet with balanced prescribed amounts of carbohydrates, proteins, fats and oils. A low fat diet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As I followed the advice I lost some weight but I felt hungry nearly all the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I hated the long boring cardio exercise workouts and my ability to lift heavy weights in the gym started to decrease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I had less energy and I started gaining weight. Eventually I got to 120 kilograms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"918\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/howtogrowfat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Fatbracers-1.jpg?resize=640%2C918&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/howtogrowfat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Fatbracers-1.jpg?w=669&amp;ssl=1 669w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/howtogrowfat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Fatbracers-1.jpg?resize=209%2C300&amp;ssl=1 209w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My trousers tended to fall down because my belly was wider than my hips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What do you think?
