Indy100- Weight loss can be a struggle of epic proportions and tiny portions. When push comes to shove, losing weight almost always involved parting yourself from some foods that you love. But what happens when your favourite indulgence is your local takeaway? In order to shed the extra pounds, Darren McClintock allowed his personal trainer Mike Hind to put up letters in all takeaways near his house to stop them from serving him. This came after doctors told him that he was “eating himself to death”. The posters had the headline: Short, but brutal. 27 year-old Darren was eating junk food daily, eventually leading to hospitalisation for heart problems. With the help of his trainer, he’s trying to turn his life around.

GENIUS. I mean it. That’s a really a fantastic idea by this personal trainer. As a guy who has been losing a bunch of weight this year, I wish someone had done this for me and got me banned from all the food places near my apartment. The whole working out part is super easy once you get into a routine. Yeah it sucks at first but do it enough times in a row and it just becomes a part of the day. You wake up, you go to work, you go to the gym. Lather, rinse, repeat, done. It helps when you sweat your dick off because you can literally see the progress. The diet part though? The diet part SUCKS and never ever gets easier. Or at least it hasn’t for me. I still crave bad food and candy and soda just as much as I did when I was a larger version of myself. Probably more so. I want all the bad food and I wanna throw it down my fat face all the time. So I’d love nothing more than for somebody to get me banned from all the fast food places near me and, maybe mostly importantly, the Duane Reade by my place. That’s where I have easy access to candy and soda. It’s a problem.

I’ll tell you what, I’m glad the article didn’t take the turn I thought it was going to. I was just waiting for the part of the article where somebody got outraged about the trainer getting the fat guy banned from restaurants because he’s fat. I’m stunned that didn’t happen but I’m also happy that didn’t happen. The guy admitted he was fat, wanted to change his life and stop being fat, hired a personal trainer and the trainer got him banned from restaurants so his client could hopefully become less fat. Case closed. No outrage needed. Just a guy trying to get healthier and another guy helping him in that quest. People helping people.
