The problem I have is that the fat gene has been passed on from my fathers side so I'm up against it from the start. I've started cutting back already. I only drink diet coke now and baked crisps instead of the fried junk.
Stop the carbonated drinks for a starter, http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/328/7450/1237 , and as for the "baked crisps instead of the fried junk" then just stop eating the baked crisps, they are shite quality processed carbs anyway. If you have to eat something in between a meal, why not fruit or veg?
Out of interest, what fat gene has your family been identified with?
I'm not taking the piss here, I have a recurrent weight problem, so I do know how hard it can be to lose weight and keep it off, in some ways the weight loss is just the start. I've never tried to hide behind any excuses, except maybe in primary school, after that point it has just been an acceptance that I eat too much/eat unhealthily, and don't exercise enough at times.
