There are undoubtedly, more enjoyable ways to lose weight. I have long been a staunch believer in the ‘eat less, exercise more’ method. I’m quite good at the second part. I run a bit. Last year I ran a lot. 26 miles in one go back in April. But then summer comes and summer is the time for sitting outside eating beer and drinking chips.

It is not long before you are as fat as a French goose.<\/p>\n

If it’s not then I won’t bother writing.<\/p>\n
