Doug Terenzio has been with Dial-a-Cab for almost five years but now the
head of ring-outs on the evening shift is only half the man he used to be!
Why? Well Doug was always a bit on the 'chunky' side, but when he weighed
himself less than two years ago, his chunkiness had departed to be replaced
by just BIG! His weight had shot up to 21 stone (294 pounds for US Internet
readers). One day he was talking to Call Sign's "Just Wondering" girl, Nuala Glavin-Davis about how he could lose weight. Nuala explained that the only difference between him and someone of a reasonable size was that he never left any food regardless of whether he was full or not. "It was true," Tony told Call Sign, "it mattered not whether I was hungry or not, if the food was put before me I'd scoff the lot. Nuala's words |
THE CASE OF THE VANISHING DAC CALL TAKER |

 Dougie before (inset) and after made me change and I knew that I could lose weight." From that day, Tony cut his meal quantities in half, which according to Tony still filled him up. He also cut out snacks such as crisps and chocolate that he was eating whether he fancied them or not. Also gone are cream cakes and chips, although he eats a lot of bread. "There's nothing wrong with bread, it's the fillings that can be bad. In my case, I was often eating |
just because I could and not
because I was hungry. It was mainly boredom so when I fancy some bread, I'll
eat what I want and not as before, stuff myself silly with it," Tony
said. Tony now has his lunch at around 7pm (he finishes work at DaC at 11.30pm) and doesn't eat anything else until breakfast. He also exercises regularly at home doing sit-ups etc and especially skipping, which he finds the best exercise of all. Now, from 21 stone, Tony is close to cutting his weight by half to a trim 11stone 10pounds (164pounds). The last word goes to Tony... "Starving yourself is as bad as overeating. Eat what you need and no more; drink lots of water and do some exercise. Then you can become half the person you were!" Well done Tony... |
