From as long as I can remember I have always had a weight problem. As a kid I hated sports and the only reason I played Netball at high school was because we were forced to do at least one sport. I didn't mind the odd game of squash or playing cricket with the cousins, but I hated being forced into taking part in sport.

I really noticed how heavy I was when I returned from a trip to the UK in '87. I looked at photo's which included a Kiwi girl we met and who we always teased about her size, I was horrified to notice in the photo's that I was the same size as her. At that stage I weighed the heaviest I have at a wopping 95 kg's. Now for someone as vertically challenged as me - you can just imagine!
