Description
‘I love food. Even worse, I love junk food. If lard could be double deep-fried I would eat it. If I could deep-fry headache pills I would. So it’s no wonder I’m now the size of a small yet economically viable continent…’When A. J. Rochester is selected to feature in a television series on obesity, she is at first appalled and then resolved. At 109 kilos (17 stone), she knows she needs to lose weight - not because she yearns to become a twiglet but so she can keep up with her little boy and turn her life around at last. But after years of fighting a losing battle with the flab, A. J. knows she needs a miracle. So she decides to ditch the ‘quick-fix’ diets and the faddy exercise equipment and try a new approach - one that involves discovering her own inner strengths. It may not be easy - but it pays off. Confessions of a Reformed Dieter charts the highs, lows and plateaus of A. J.’s incredible journey, from overcoming an early setback - waking up in hospital with a broken leg after a drunken binge - to the triumph of shedding the first, and last, kilo.

Hi Ajay,
I just wanted to say that I have been on a weightloss and life changing journey over the last year and along the way have read both of your books several times.
Now, having lost 32kg’s and embarking on my next 10 I am very grateful for your books as it really has felt that someone has gone through all the same feelings and trials - - - - when feeling my most depressed and vulnerable I at least had that.
Thank you.
