Five years ago my eating was out of control, I was a very big guy getting bigger by the month.
I then decided in September 2005 to do a diet and trimmed down 11.5 stone (161 pounds) in 20 weeks.
The day I finished the diet I decided never to diet again, never to obsess over food and to prove everyone wrong who said that people who are big are destined to regain all their weight. I dealt with the real reasons I overate and I have never touched a diet since then.
Big Mike would never get changed in a changing room, Big Mike never went swimming for fear of people looking at my belly and judging me, Big Mike was never seen with anything but a full set of clothes on !
Today I went and stripped off naked in a photo studio to show the world that it is possible to be big, get slim and then stay that way for years and years and years !
