THEME 1: BODY, HEALTH AND MIND
UNIT 1: A HEALTHY EATING PLAN
Brad: I realized I’d put on
1
weight when my trousers started to feel a bit tight. But when I couldn’t
do up
2
the jacket on my best suit, I knew right away it was time to turn over a new leaf
3
– as far as
4
food was concerned, anyway. I mentioned this to a friend, who sent me details of internet dieting
programme. I thought it was worth trying, so I signed up for
5
it
The websites sent me weekly recipes of healthy diet meals, but also recommended that I should cut
down on
6
the actual portion size, and obviously cut out
7
junk food, sweets, fizzy drinks, etc. It was
hard going
8
at first because it meant changing a number of habits, but I kept to
9
the diet very rigidly
and after a while, the weight started to fall off
10
. I combined it with working out
11
at the gym, but I
know that the diet was the main thing that helped.
A normal meal now fills me up
12
, so I’m not constantly looking for extra snacks (which are my big
temptation). I’m going away on holiday next week, happy to show off
13
my new image! I’m glad I
faced up to
14
my problems.

to get checked over. When I got there, the nurse calmed me down, and they cleaned and stitched up
the cut. Back at home, Mum took care of me and gave me ice cream. After a day or two, the pain
eased off and the swelling went down. They took the stiches out a week later.
