I was a person that had quite a lot of stress in my life due to the fact that I had three jobs; one selling composite doors for a composite door company, another advising people aboutjobs in foster careand the other was to do with providing a professional DVD authoring service. When I became a little bit stressed or even depressed I would start to comfort eat.

I considered and read about lots of weight loss programs but eventually decided that I needed my own form of diet.

I love my food; especially all of the types of food which are what put the weight on. I could not really face stopping myself from eating these foods and therefore this was my weight loss strategy

For breakfast I would eat something which most people would class as healthy food, which would be cerial or toast. I would have a fairly light lunch, such as a sandwich, however for my evening meal I decided that I could eat whatever I wanted. The main thing and most difficult to implement would be the fact that I could no longer eat between meals. I had to stop eating so much snack food!. It was not all plain sailing, of course. I was however more than willing to work hard to achieve my goals as I was very determined to reach my ideal weight.

For exercise I decided to leave the car at home, wherever possible, and walk far more than I ever had done. I also started taking my children to the park at least twice a week. I would play various spors in the park including tennis, cricket, soccer and basketball. It is amazing how much weight you can lose by having fun.
