A doting father lost 9st in just six months after being shamed into dieting when he became too fat to play with his young daughter.

一位溺爱女儿的父亲在半年内猛减9英石（约57公斤），原因是他过胖而不能和闺女玩耍，这刺激他控制食欲。

Morbidly-obese Chris Willis, 47, tipped the scales at 27st 7lbs following a lifetime of fry-ups, takeaways and pork pies.

患有病态肥胖症的克里斯·威利斯今年47岁，从小到大都非常爱吃煎炸食品、外卖食品和猪肉馅饼，而他的体重也曾经达到172公斤。

The painter and decorator had to take long pauses just to climb the stairs or walk more than a few yards. He also carried an inhaler to treat his obesity-induced asthma.

克里斯的职业是油漆工兼装修人员，他在爬长楼梯或是走多几码路后，就不得不停下一段时间喘口气。为了治疗因肥胖诱发性哮喘，克里斯也得随身戴上一个吸氧机，以备不时之需。

But overweight Chris turned to dieting when he realised he was too fat to play with his ten-year-old daughter, Sophie, who had a passion for running.

克里斯的10岁小女儿苏菲亚非常热爱跑步，当他意识到因为肥胖超重而不能和女儿玩耍时，他决心要减肥。

The determined dad-of-one cut out all the fatty foods he had binged on, and began exercising. He now weights 16st 7lbs after losing a stone-and-a-half every month since July.

慈父克里斯终于下定决心，坚决不吃所有的肥胖食品，并开始锻炼身体。自7月起，他每月能减掉10公斤，现在的他体重减至105公斤。

Chris, who lives in Shepreth, Cambridgeshire, with his wife Jackie, 51, a coach driver, said: 'The hardest thing was seeing my little girl in the garden and not being able to join in because I was so unhealthy.

克里斯和妻子杰琪住在剑桥镇的Shepreth，妻子杰琪今年51岁，是一名长途汽车司机。克里斯说道：“最痛苦的事，莫过于看到自己的闺女在院子里飞奔，而我却因肥胖而不能和她一起运动。”

'But now I am making up for lost time - we do so much together and it is just great. A few months ago when I started getting active again I remember chasing my daughter around the garden.

“但是，现在我可以弥补过去的时间了—我和女儿一起运动，一起玩乐，这样的感觉实在太好了。在几个月前，那时我又开始运动起来，记得当时我想在院子里追着和女儿玩。”

'When she suddenly turned around with an amazed look on her face and said, "Daddy, I didn’t know you could run".'

“突然，她转过身来，一脸惊讶地说道‘爸爸，我觉得你不能跑吧’。” 正是这句话刺激了克里斯下决心减肥。

Delighted Sophie said: 'I’m so proud of my dad. It’s brilliant being able to run around and play with him.'

苏菲亚对父亲的减肥事业表示很开心，她说道：“我为爸爸感到骄傲。能和爸爸一起跑步和玩耍实在是太好了。”

Chris used to tuck into an incredible 5,000 calories a day, before he swtiched to a healthy lifestyle. On average he would eat five slices of buttered toast for breakfast before a full English breakfast as a mid morning meal.

在以前那段肥胖的日子里，克里斯每天能摄入5000卡路里，食量让人目瞪口呆。肥胖时的每天，在进食全套英式早餐前，他还要吃掉5块奶油面包作为早餐前的甜点。

He would then eat a sandwich, a large pack of crisps and a pasty for lunch before chomping on a whole packet of biscuits in the afternoon. For dinner Chris would demolish a curry, ice cream, and sink four pints of beer, before grazing on fatty snacks all evening.

之后，他会吃掉一块三明治、一大堆薯片和一碗糊粥作为午餐，小息后还会吃去一大包饼干。晚餐时间，克里斯能吞咽掉一碟咖喱和雪糕，喝下4品脱啤酒，之后一个晚上都会不停地吃脂肪零食。

Amazingly Chris claims he still eats the same amount - but has simply cut out the unhealthy fatty foods.

惊讶的是，克里斯声称自己吃得份量与之前差不多，但在食谱中已经去掉不健康的肥胖食品。

Chris said: 'At 13, I was 18-and-a-half-stone and I remember a teacher pointing this out to the whole school. From then on I was picked on and bullied. My weight went up and up. But I now have a new found freedom.

克里斯说：“13岁那年，我的体重达到118公斤，我记得当时老师还向全校同学公布了我的体重。自那以后，我总被人欺负作弄，我的体重也越来越重。然而，现在我拥有一个新发现的自由。”

'My family and friends have been so supportive and my wife and daughter are so pleased for me. In fact it’s them I did it for more than anyone else. The whole journey has been amazing and I am still shocked myself that I have managed to lose so much weight.'

“我的家人和朋友在我的减肥事业上非常支持我，我的妻子和女儿还因此非常高兴。说实话，我就是为了家人而减肥。整个减肥之旅很令人惊讶，我现在还被当时的自己所震惊：我竟然减掉了这么多体重。”

Chris is now aiming for a new target weight of 15st.

现在，克里斯又有了新的体重目标：96公斤。
