My four year old daughter was taken ill with diabetes. We were advised that we had to change her diet to keep her healthy. So all high fat and sugary foods had to go, but I was still eating all the unhealthy foods. I had booked to take Kayleigh on holiday to Spain, so I was telling her all about how she had to eat healthy foods and I was doing just the opposite. I decided in March 1997 to try and cut out all the high fat and sugary foods and the pounds started to fall off. I started to buy my clothes for my holidays and each time I was able to buy something a size smaller. I began to take Kayleigh swimming knowing that I no longer looked like a 'beached whale'. Now I have reached my target I feel healthy and fit and enjoy eating my healthy foods.
