Ive seen quite a few fat drivers over the years, you know the ones..T shirt, or Vest with the weeks breakfast stains down the front, shorts and rigger boots ( that one above cracked me up ) i even had a mate who was 54 stone, and did middle east work, quite often he would ask other drivers to go get him a coffee/tea cos he couldnt get out of the cab, the steering wheel used to really dig into his stomach, no wonder he collapsed and died. I believe that advice given about healthy eating is fine, but the choices are still today so limited, a lot of drivers still prefer the MSA take aways, the old days of transport cafes was much better with home made food , or healthy salads…like some drivers, ill have 2 big macs, 2 portions of fries…and a diet coke ` ha ha

As my old boss one said. “They don’t put baywindows in $hithouse$”
My mates favourites included. “The cemetery is full of skinny people” & “never eat salad, you only see fat people eating salad”

I heard this rubbish, one of our local Doctor’s is like a house side and when you visit a Hospital most of the nurses seem very well rounded and they are on the go for most of the day!Pete.
true,when I was in a few years back I thought YEAH a nice ■■■■ nurse to tend to me,what did I get, as you said a very well rounded nurse,could not bloody win lol

Some of you lot are in denial.It’s a well known equation
Sat on your arse all day behind a wheel = Fat [zb].Even an ex Adonis like me has a bad case of Slipped Chest.

Because to many people eat much more than requared.And eat to many processed food(sausage,souce,cream and much more).Second problem -people not walking to much .Just drive car ,truck ,sleep,seat in computer.
have to agree with that,its me in a nutshell
Found catch-up and nearly finished listening to it now, truckman.
Got to say though, what are nurses excuses? Too stretched and busy maybe?
If a fully equipped gym was in every truckstop and Msa, no drivers would use it.
After a long day, all you want is to sleep.
That’s useful Tastytrucker and you can fast forward any drivel and/or uninteresting topics 
No sympathy for the fatties.
It’s easy to gain and lose weight, I’m only 13 stone atm and feel skinny for my height 6 ft 1, when I was younger in 2009 I weighed 11 stone basically anorexic lol I trained like a beast and weighed a solid 15 and a half stone at my heaviest only took me just over a year to do that at 3 hours training per week , 1 hour session every Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Used to have progress pictures but missplaced them when me and the misses moved into the real world.
I’l give myself the kick up the arse again to get that mentality back for my daughter’s sake, I eat what I want, if I fancy 2 sausage rolls/pies, 2 vanilla slices and a baguette for my lunch I get it.
It’s simple biology if you eat more than you burn > gain weight, if you don’t train that weight will be fat, if you eat like a beast and tear your muscles up in the gym you will grow proper mass

I’m only about 13.5 stone and 6’4. I make Jeremy Vine look fat.
He’s the one that goes off sick, not me.

Not a problem bud, up until I started working weekends, used to take my old man to watch Crouchy every other weekend.
He’s not particularly graceful to watch, but he can still do the job (some days)
I’ve never looked any different. I’ve been up to 17 stone over the years, and down as low as 9.5. Nobody has ever commented, just change the hole on the belt lol.

LOL - Not far off mate, as I’m also blonde, or rather silver blonde now… 
Although He’s got 2 inches on me & a lot more money!
Plus his missus is pretty tidy! 
Edit: I’m confused, who’s Robroy talking about…

Yeh sorry to confuse you mate, I was talking about Paul who you replied to.
I won’t comment on the extra 2’’ Crouchy has on you btw mate, don’t worry they say size doesn’t matter.

I wouldn’t want those 2 inches mate, I can’t run through doorways as it is, I sparked myself out doing it once!
