   I first piled on the pounds when I was pregnant and I couldn’t lose them afterwards. Then I joined a slimming club. My target was 10 stone and I lost 2 stone 21 bs in six months. I felt great and people kept saying how good I looked. But Christmas came 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 the willpower and tried to convince myself that the odd bag of crisps didn’t make any difference--but the scales don’t lie.
Roz Juma
   To be honest, I never weigh myself any more--I’ ve learned to be happy with myself. It seemed ridiculous to feel guilty about every morsel that passed my lips. My philosophy is simple: You shouldn’t be preoccupied with food and dieting. Instead, you should get on with life and stop dreaming about a super--thin body’. This is obviously the size I’ m meant to be and, most of all, I’ m happy with it.
Lesley Godwin
   I was very happy after winning Young Slimmer of the Year. I’d look in the mirror unable to believe this slim creature was me. That might have been my problem--perhaps I didn’t relate to my reflection any more. Winning a national competition makes everything worse, though, because you feel the eyes of the world are on you. I feel a failure because I’ ye put on weight again. I find it humiliating and embarrassing.
Ros Langford
   Before moving in with my husband Gavin, I’d always been about 8 stones, but domestic bliss went straight to my waist and I put on 2 stones in a year. Every so often I try to go on a diet, I’ m really good for a few days, then end up eating the children’s leftovers or gorging on chocolate my weakness. I’d like to be slim, but right now my priorities are the children and home. I may be more motivated when the kids are older.
Julia Minifie
   I’ m a compulsive eater. I can’t control my urges and I really love cakes. When I’ m Slim I feel like a million dollars--and when I’ m not I get very depressed. Over the years I’d tried and failed with just about every diet. I was determined I’d never put the weight back on, but at some stage along the line I lost my resolution, and it started to creep on again. Certainly I will face the same problem in the future.
   Now match each of the women to the appropriate statement.
   Note: there are two extra statements.
   Statements
[A] I put on weight after I got married.
[B] The heavier, the merrier.
[C] Facts speak louder than words.
[D] I like myself as I am.
[E] I’m constantly at war with my weight.
[F] Fame doesn’t necessarily mean success.
[G] I think I’ll be slim again.
