I didn’t lose all my weight in time for the new school year. Instead, I got fatter. Just after this photo was taken, the boy that I had had a secret crush on all through school said to me: ‘So what happened to the beautiful slim Mandy we all knew before?’ I spent the next hour hiding in the school toilets bawling my eyes out.

What the experts say...
"Dr Amanda Sainsbury-Salis brings a touch of reality as well as a good healthy dose of scientific understanding to her approach to weight control. Not only is Amanda amongst the best scientists in the world in obesity research, but she has been through the problem herself and found that the standard recommendations don't necessarily work - particularly for women, who are much more complicated creatures than men. You'll find this a refreshing approach in an often very tired old field. I thoroughly recommend it."
