I went through the lot each night—aerobics, a weights circuit in the gym, then a swim. I would get home after 11 pm, have something to eat and fall into bed. It was the same every weekday. On Saturdays, I might spend even longer in the gym.”

“I just poured all my money into the gym. Membership and classes came to around 100 a month, plus I had to buy clothing and equipment. ”

“I didn’t realize I had lost all my friends until my 21st birthday came round. I decided to take one evening off to go out with them. Then someone told me I hadn’t been a very good friend for a year, so why should anyone bother turning up? In fact, just one girlfriend came with me for a drink on my 21st birthday. That was the turning point for me. I cut right down on the gym and tried to pick up where I had left off with people.”

A. I didn’t buy anything else all year—I couldn’t afford to.

B. I first went to a health club when I dated a bodybuilder.
