Welcome to 23 Kilos Down!
Thank you for visiting!
This is 23 Kilos Down. This is a website dedicated to helping you make sense of your physical self, and find ways to lead a more healthy way of life.
“I reached a point when I needed to change. It had become ‘now or never’. Or so I thought… What I didn’t realise then, however, was just what a journey lay ahead….”
My vision
My original idea was just to lose 23 Kilos, which would take me from my heaviest weight back to the weight I last was when I considered myself more or less ‘in shape’.
That was almost three years ago, and it has proved far harder than I expected…
Why? What did I get so wrong? How did I so badly underestimate what a massive undertaking it would be? And why has my weight fluctuated so much in the meantime?
The answer is that whilst at the time, I had thought it was ‘now or never’, I can now see that I was woefully unprepared to embark on any kind of weight loss journey, and what’s more, hugely under-equipped to make what weight loss I might achieve in any way permanent.
I am still not there, but I have discovered so much, and crucially, I have fundamentally changed. That is the difference. That is what tells me that I will get there, and most importantly, stay there.
You can do the same, and I want that for you.
During the last three years, although frequently failing to lose any actual weight(!), I have managed to write a book which will help you benefit from what I have learnt, and now publish a website where you can find regular updates that I hope drive and inspire you.
