Fat Matt

There was a boy. His name was Matt. Matt was fat. He weighed around 250 pounds. He always ate fast food. Wait, it’s rude to say someone is fat. I’m sorry! Matt was not fat! Matt was overweight. He ate junk food every day.

Every morning on his way to work, he got breakfast from McDonald’s. He went to the McDonald’s drive-thru. He ordered a double cheeseburger, a large fries, and a large coke. He ate his meal at his desk in his office. He felt weak all day at work. For lunch, he ate snacks like cookies and potato chips. When he left work at 5:00 pm, he went to McDonald’s again. Every day after work, he went to McDonald’s. He ordered a large meal. He went up to the counter and said, ‘Can I have a double cheeseburger? Can I also have a large fries and a large coke?’ The cashier said, ‘For here or to go?’, ‘To go, please.’ He took his meal home and sat on the couch.’ He always ate his food while watching TV.’

He felt weak all day every day and he didn’t have any energy at night. He regretted eating junk food every day. He regretted spending all that money on eating out. One day, he wanted to eat out. Then, he said, ‘I shouldn’t eat at McDonald’s today. I should cook something healthy at home.’

From that day on, he decided to cook and eat at home. He started losing weight. He also started saving money, as well. He felt good and strong. Matt was not fat anymore.
