glynis davis: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 2lbs 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\'ve 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 stone, but domestic bliss went straight to my waist and i put on 2 stone 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.
