Thread: Hi folks

Hello all.

Just thought I should introduce myself to you all.

My name is Henry Johnson, I work as a dietician and own the diet help resource where I share diet tips and tools with people who really need them.

As a child and a young man I was overweight and in an evil circle. I was of course the easy target for jokes in school and as some of you might know, beeing picked on really grows on you. I became more and more sad and started believing in what people around me said and joked about. In my sadness I just ate even more and boxed myself into my own little world. The only way to really shelter me from the shame and embarresment I did feel at the time. When I turned 19 all of that changed when my doctor sent me to a dietician who was also a life coach. He really didnt put me on a diet, but he gave me goals in life, and I had fun reaching those goals. I began to swim and started jogging and once a week my dietician would jogg along with me. Along with getting more fit and participating in running competitions I started thinking about what i ate and found that if I eat the right stuff I would lose weight and get even better results in my running and swimming.
Along with all of this also came selfestem and it started to grow.

Today I am fit and thin, I was inspired by my mentor and took a degee as a dietician and know work with people who are going through the same hell as I.

Regards, Henry Johnson

Hello Henry! Welcome to Diet Forums! Your story is very inspiring and could also help our members here who have lost their confidence because they gained weight. I can relate to losing your confidence due to weight gain because I was once there. That is why I also want to help others get back on track. Thank you for being part of our community and hopefully our members get more advise from you here.
