Trainer Gains Weight to Prove Point to Fat Clients

Paul 'PJ' James, an Australia-based personal trainer and former runway model made a rather interesting New Year's resolution - gain weight then take it off, basically to show his clients, the process of losing weight is not difficult.

At the beginning of the year PJ was 175lbs, he's now 210lbs and plans on gaining another 70lbs before the end of March.

"I was finding it difficult to relate to my overweight gym members so I have decided to crank up my weight to experience life as an overweight person," he says.

He no longer exercises and gorges on pasta, cream sauces chocolate and a "couple" of beers every night.


He then aims to spend the following three months at the same weight, to show overweight people that it can be done.

Finally, he plans to resume exercise so that he will be back to his former trim self by October.

'I have always been telling my clients who have come through the gym's doors that weight loss shouldn't be difficult, but it has reached the point where I can't relate and by doing this it should make me a better personal trainer," he said.

Because of the rapid weight-gain, doctors warn that the "visceral fat around his organs such as his heart and liver, increasing the dangers of diabetes and high blood pressure."

And even worse - once he loses the he will have sagging skin.
