Who is Jaime Griffiths van Tonder?

I was always the kid with the puppy fat, the chubby cheeks and body that I was told I would grow into. It never really bothered me – it was always just weird that as a 12-year-old I already weighed more than my mum as well as being taller than her. I was super sporty and always had energy for EVERYTHING, but I also ate everything- just like all the other kids, a massive appetite. 

Sweets, chocolates and takeaways were a weekly treat throughout my childhood and teenage years. Then I started working, between paper rounds, cleaning jobs, glass collecting and eventually a pub and restaurant manager I was working on my feet for long hours - I could still eat whatever I wanted and maintain 60-65kgs, I would train 3 times a week but throw barrels around a cellar almost daily. 

If I felt ‘fat’ or like I’d eaten too much I’d just skip a meal.
