Thanks so much for checking out the website for my book, The Fat Ginger Nerd.

The book tells the story of my own personal weight loss journey.  It is largely told as a memoir, offering insight into various aspects of the first four decades of my life, where, for 90% of that time, I was fatter than 90% of those around me.

The consequences of my carrying all that excess weight were both many and varied.  I’d long tried my honest best to follow the standard advice for many years in order to get healthy, without success.  But according to the experts, I just wasn’t trying hard enough, I had no willpower, I wasn’t doing it right, I wasn’t doing it at all.

Apparently.

The idea that I could ever lose any weight at all, let alone keep it off afterwards was, for so long, nothing more in my mind than an impossible dream.  And yet, in under two years, that dream eventually, finally, become reality, and in the end all it took was for me to have found advice that actually tangibly worked.

And now, here I am, having proven those experts wrong.  Having since lost more than 50 kilograms – that’s over 110 pounds – after figuring things out for myself, in my own way, in my own time.  I’ve remained weight stable now for five years and counting, and during that time I’ve had plenty of opportunity to reflect and to write of my experience.

It’s been a challenging process for me, but ultimately a rewarding one as well.  I am proud of the end result, and I do hope you enjoy it.
