Once upon a time, in a previous life, I let myself get to 17 stone. I am 5'3", so that was size 22 clothes.
Thanks to the patented heartbreak-and-fags diet (not really recommended for either mental or physical health) I shrunk myself back to more normal proportions. I lost 11 stone of husband and close to half of me.
Over the last 3 years it's crept up from time to time, so I periodically go on a sensible eating mission and get it back a bit. This year I want to return to the weight I was 5 years ago, which is that magic number,
x. I'd also like to do this without either heartbreak, or cigarettes. (Please).
I eat an enormous amount of food and maintain the same weight despite a fairly hefty cake habit, so losing weight is not usually that difficult, once I get into the swing of it (again
)
