Mr Christmas
I love Christmas, but eating a Christmas dinner like I just have is not all that healthy.
I asked my doctor. She said:
"Andy, your diet is not very healthy. You're overweight and this can cause problems. You need some advice.
"The good news is you don't have to stop celebrating Christmas every day. But you must stop eating so much. You don't have to have a roast turkey: you could have something else.
"And in general, you mustn't eat so much fatty food. You have to take some exercise. Try running, swimming… anything like that."
Because of all that, this is the new me: looking good, feeling good. Merry Christmas!
