ALEX MERRIAM lost half of his body weight naturally. This is how he did it.

REDDIT

At just 17-years-old, Alex Merriam weighed 25st.

While high school is a volatile place for the average teenager, Alex said being overweight during this period of his life left him depressed.

Now 21, Alex explained the moment during his second year of university that made him decided to make his lifestyle change and help him drop half his body weight.

GETTY

I got a really cool internship working for the State Department at the US embassy in El Salvador, Alex recalled.

My boss and I talked about my career aspirations, and he was like, You're on the right path in terms of your resume, but unless you get in shape, there's no chance you get a job in this field. Nothing matters if you can't pass the physical tests.

Alex said he began to lose weight by accident after being busy with work within six months he had lost 5st.

Amazingly, these reality TV stars have lost more than 40st between them... all thanks to healthy eating and exercise

Before the weight loss, Alex said he would eat everything. If he ate biscuits, it wouldnt just be a few, it would be the entire packet.

It took Alex two years to lose the weight as he didnt want to cut anything out.

I wanted to have fun, drink with my friends, eat pizza. I was able to learn how to do that in a responsible way," he said.

Before, I just didn't have the mindset to eat two pieces of pizza. I'd eat half the pizza. Or for dinner instead of a salad I'd eat an entire frozen pizza.

After the first 5st weight loss, Alex explained his weight plateaued for four months. His initial weight loss had been without exercise, but once back in the US, he began to exercise every day.

An added benefit to the weight loss? A happier disposition.

I'm one of those people who's annoyingly happy now. I was never that happy a person, I guess. Now I'm the guy who's smiling all the time," he added.
