What I remember most about my early years at school was being teased mercilessly in the playground because I was fat. By the age of thirteen the situation had got so out of hand that my father took me to Weight Watchers. I followed the strict regime: weighing everything I ate; using low-calorie powdered milk in my low-calorie cereal; carefully ensuring that I didnt exceed the meagre rations of butter, cheese and other high-calorie luxuries allowed. I was surprised at how easy it was to get used to the new foods I was forcing myself to eat. Even the powdered milk, which initially tasted truly awful, soon became perfectly palatable. And I lost weight. However, after the initial novelty had worn off, the whole process began to get me down. Each morning I would wake up thinking about what I was going to allow myself to eat that day. I felt a slave to the diet and found my reserves of willpower gradually being depleted as the lure of forbidden foods increased. And as I lost weight, my motivation to keep to the diet weakened. I felt I deserved to reward myself with the odd chocolate bar or cheese sandwich between meals and so the weight crept back up.

From that time until the age of 35, I fought a continuous battle against weight gain, trying all sorts of diets. Willpower didnt help: for over twenty years my weight went up and down depending on whether I was following a diet or indulging myself. I was so unhappy with my body and so miserable that I was unable to solve the problem that it eventually affected me psychologically and I suffered from various eating disorders. That all changed after I became involved with Allen Carrs Easyway.

In 1989 I had the truly extraordinary experience of stopping smoking easily, painlessly and permanently at Allen Carrs clinic. I realised at once that Allen Carr had devised a method that could help millions of people all over the world and wrote to him asking to join him in his mission. I was extremely fortunate to be accepted and even luckier later to be appointed Managing Director of the company formed to spread the method all over the world. Today more than 400,000 people have attended our clinics in over 45 countries and Allen Carrs Easyway books have been translated into over 40 languages, have sold more than 13 million copies and have been read by an estimated 3040 million people. This phenomenal success has been achieved not through advertising or marketing but through the personal recommendations of the millions of people who have succeeded with the method. Allen Carrs Easyway has spread all over the world for one reason alone: BECAUSE IT WORKS.

Although I didnt put on weight after I stopped smoking with Allen Carrs Easyway, I remained trapped in the continuous struggle to keep it down until Allen applied his method to weight control. Allen and I worked closely together and he asked me for my comments on his first draft of Allen Carrs Easyweigh To Lose Weight. I had no idea it was going to transform my life so radically for the better. As I read through the text, I found the powerful logic irrefutable. By the end I knew that my weight problem was solved. No longer did I have to use willpower to deny myself forbidden foods. No longer did I have to weigh what I ate. No longer did I have to feel deprived because I couldnt eat as much as I wanted or guilty because I had eaten too much. Gone was the tug-of-war in my mind which made the whole issue of food and eating such a nightmare. By following Allens instructions, I escaped from that slavery and found it easy to reach and stay my ideal weight. Far from feeling miserable or deprived, I enjoyed the process right from the start. It was a revelation to me that I didnt have to avoid food to be thin and that I could look forward to and enjoy eating, and still be my ideal weight.

Waking up in the morning full of energy and free to eat whatever you like is such a liberating experience! Seeing your slim body in the mirror and knowing that you never have to worry about it expanding again is truly wonderful! Thats the marvellous transformation that happened to me.

Lose Weight Now presents Allen Carrs method in a new, updated and easily accessible format, which makes it even simpler and more enjoyable to solve your weight problem. I very much hope it transforms your life in the fantastic way it has transformed mine.
