I’m watching Fat Man’s Warning on Channel 4 and it’s fascinating. If you haven’t seen it, keep an eye out for any repeats.

It follows American comedian Steve Daly as he tries to educate the people of Britian on the evils of obesity through his first hand experience of being a fast food junkie.

He’s 30 stone.

30 STONE!

It really strikes a chord with me seeing as I’m still on my diet.

At my heaviest, at the beginning of the diet, I was not far from 20 stone.  So, I was two-thirds of this guy’s weight.  And he was 52% fat.

But it’s fascinating to see his journey to acceptance that he’s not going to be long for this world if it continues.

And that’s the grim Meat-hook reality of it, isn’t it?  We’re getting fatter.  And because of that we’re going to die long before our time.

So much for those double Whopper and cheese cravings.
