Introduction | Bierpens | Beer Belly

in #introduction6 years ago (edited)

I realised now that I have not even introduced myself. 

What is the meaning of my nickname "Bierpens"? It is simple. "Bierpens" is the Afrikaans word for "Beer Belly".

I have been overweight since high school, and later on in life my nickname became Bierpens.  It was not only drinking beer that caused me to gain a lot of weight, I also indulged in carbohydrates like chips, bread, potatoes, rice and so on.

The irony is that these days I am no longer overweight, but the nickname has stuck.

I lost all my excess weight thanks to banting. I love low carb and I like a good braai (BBQ). I am not drinking any alcohol.

I also realised that an almost sure way to die prematurely, is to be a heavy smoker while being overweight. I have lost the fat, and started vaping. My ultimate goal is to neither smoke nor vape. To be free from the damn nicotine monster.

I am married. I have a lovely and supporting wife, and we do not have any children. 

Despite all the problems in South Africa like corruption and load shedding and crime, I love living in South Africa.
