Glynis Davis:

　　I first piled on the pounds when I was in the family way and I couldn't lose them after-wards. Then I joined a slimming club. My target was 140 pounds and I lost 30 pounds in six months. I felt great and people kept saying how good I looked. But Christmas carne and I started to slip back into my old eating habits. I told myself I'd lose the weight at slimming classes in the new year, but it didn't happen. Instead of losing the pounds, I put them on. I'd lost will power and tried to believe that the odd bags of fish and chips didn't make any difference but the scales don't lie.

Roz Juuna:

　　To be honest, I never weigh myself any more—I've learnt to be happy with myself. It seemed to me that I would feel sorry about every spoonful of tasty food that passed my lips. My idea is simple. You shouldn't be too much thinking about food and dieting. Instead, you should get on with life and stop dreaming of a super-thin body. This is obviously the size I meant to be and, most of all, I'm happy with it.

Lesley

　　I was very happy after winning Young Slimmer of the Year. I'd look in then mirror unable to believe this slim lady was me! That might have been my problem—perhaps from then on I didn't pay any attention to myself. Winning a national competition makes everything worse, though, because you feel the eyes of the world are fixed upon you. I feel a complete failure because I've put on weight again.

Ros Langford:

　　Before moving in with my husband Gavin, I'd always been about 110 pounds, but the pleasant housework went straight to my waist and I put on 15 pounds in a year. Every so often I try to go on a diet. I'm really good on a few days, then end up having the children's leftovers or eating happily chocolate—my weakness. I'd like to be slim, but right now my duty is the children and home. I might take more exercise when my kids are older.
