I am 23 years old and I am Autistic with developmental delay. Less than a year ago I was 128 kilograms, low on energy, I had high blood pressure and my blood sugars were on the high limit too.
I started to change what I was eating and doing exercise, but I really began to lose weight when I started ordering Lite n’ Easy meals. My parents found out that I could receive the meals as part of my NDIS package and even better, I could choose what I felt like eating each week.
I order the Standard (1500 calorie) Lunch and Dinner Meal Plan and I look forward to the esky arriving with the label, “Carefully prepared for Alan.” The meal plan really helps me because it's easy to follow with a weekly menu and everything packed for each day. I can take my lunch to work as a janitor at my church, which makes me feel more independent, and if I want an early dinner, it’s no bother to do myself.
I do have my favourites, which are the pasta meals and the yummy little snacks which keep me from getting too hungry in between meals. There are muesli bars, little packets of nuts and the vanilla yoghurt is a favourite. Once I started losing weight, I also decided to quit eating chocolates and other junk foods and really commit, because I was feeling so much better.
I have so far lost 36 kilos I feel so much better. I love exercising regularly now, with boxing, weights and the treadmill. I am also working an extra day doing gardening which I am really enjoying. I would never have had the energy to do all these things before.
