Lisa Woollaston's food diary
Name: Lisa Woollaston
Age: 39
Lifestyle: Married with one son aged 7. Lisa works for the emergency services department of an electricity company, a job she finds quite pressured at times. She's 5ft 8in and weighs 16 stone.
Lisa says: 'I've always struggled with my weight but, like a lot of things, I often think "maybe I'm supposed to be like this". I'd like to be smaller, but over the years I've accepted that I find it hard to put all the good advice into practice. My real downfall is my sweet tooth.
'However, I do pride myself in cooking and preparing healthy meals and snacks for all of us. I never buy ready meals.
'I get terrible sweet cravings and that's my downfall. It might be for a piece of cake or some chocolate, and my problem is I can't have just one square - it has to be the whole bar!
'Although I try and eat fresh food, I get into a terrible rut over meals. We tend to have the same things over and over again. I wish I could get more ideas about interesting meals but when push comes to shove I can never be bothered.'
Lisa's typical daily meals
Breakfast: Granary toast with butter.
Snacks: Fruit if at work, crisps or chocolate when home.
Lunch: Tuna or chicken salad at work, granary sandwich at home.
Dinner: Tuna with jacket potato or pasta with something.
