I've spent most of my life rubbishing diets and convincing myself that diets are not needed if we eat anything we like in moderation.  Not only that but having three daughters I didn't want them to see food as the enemy and create in them any sign of an eating disorder.

How wrong could I be?? After daughter number one my weight pretty much returned to normal, but after a few years of being a stay at home mum that soon changed, and especially after daughters two and three came along.
