After having the children, my eating habits changed. Craving for chocolate and eating leftovers, the weight soon piled on. Over the last ten years my weight has fluctuated. This is my third time losing weight, but I have never achieved my target weight before.

I saw myself in a photo at a New Year's Eve party in 1999. It was a shock just how big I was getting. I was always feeling embarrassed, hiding away, but no more. That was it!

I joined Super Slim, more determined than ever, and with the help of Margaret, the members and my family, I did it. It's hard work but the outcome is worth it.

I know now that if I put on a few pounds it won't take me long to lose it. Since losing seven stone, I'm more energetic and will have a go at anything. I feel that this time I have been re-educated about food. I do the right thing now, I eat to live not live to eat anymore.
