Ive worked in the NHS for the last 15 years, and for most of that Ive specialised in Paediatrics. During this time Ive seen lots of children, families and adults struggling with weight-related issues. Ive also seen how their lives can be transformed by making some very simple, affordable changes to their diets and lifestyles. Its shown me that my role is not just to cure physical ailments, but also to help people feel better physically and mentally and taking control of your diet and weight can work wonders for your self-esteem and confidence.

Ive also experienced this first-hand for myself and its got me really fired up about healthier eating. I didnt have a very balanced diet growing up, which meant I was overweight as a kid and then carried some of those struggles through into adulthood. The reasons for this were complex; it was partly down to the environment I grew up in, partly because we didnt really understand healthier choices, and partly because those choices felt out of reach, either practically or financially. Trust me, I know just how hard it is to eat healthily, especially in a busy, working family!

Im still constantly trying to maintain a healthier weight, sometimes with more success than at other times.
