So, quality is important - a sparkling drink needs a bit of complexity. We both enjoyed it immensely - it has that celebratory sparkling zing, gorgeous fruit flavour and it even tasted… expensive. We polished off the bottle happily-- by then I had only used 9 of my daily syns!

Over the next five years, our hopes started to come to fruition. We soon added two alpacas eventually building that up to nine! As our collection of animals grew, we got heavier, so the physical work of caring for them became harder. Then, in March , Eddie and I were strolling along a Cornish beach on our annual holiday to the coast.
While he and the dogs kept up a decent pace, I had to keep stopping. I pretended to take photos of the view on my phone, so I could catch my breath for a moment and then carry on. I knew my weight was slowing me down. A few months later, we were due to go on holiday to France, so I asked my friend Niki to take care of the animals while we were away. I complimented her on how great she looked and she invited me to go along to Slimming World with her when I got back from holiday.
Later that evening, I was chatting it through with Eddie. When we got back from France, though, I started to get cold feet. That night, feeling positive about the changes I was making, I planned a full week of meals and ordered all the groceries I needed online. In many ways, it felt like going back to basics. I was surprised at how easy it was to make a tasty Mediterranean veg pasta or a bean chilli.
After such an amazing first week, I had all the incentive I needed to carry on. Planning our meals in advance helped us keep on track, no matter how busy we were. We took turns doing the cooking, and would make delicious packed lunches of pasta salad with lots of Speed Food and home-made low Syn vegetarian Scotch eggs, which kept us feeling full and less inclined to snack.
We made sure we planned our Syns in advance, too — I liked using some of mine for an indulgent dessert of meringue topped with fresh fruit and plain quark. From the very beginning, Eddie and I went swimming twice a week. The first time, feeling self-conscious in my swimsuit, it took me an hour to do 20 lengths. As the pounds continued to come off and my energy levels rocketed, I was soon powering through a length a minute!
Oddly, despite the fact we were cramming more activities into our already hectic week, Eddie and I felt like we had more time on our hands. Now that I could be more efficient on the smallholding, I had more time to experiment with new recipes.
I was enjoying my food and still losing weight. As my weight came down, my self-esteem and confidence grew. I started with really short distances, gradually going further and further, until I was taking part in free, local 5K Parkruns with Eddie. We eventually progressed to 10K races, then half-marathons, and canicross events — where you run with your dog strapped to you with a harness, waistband and lead.
It was tremendous fun, and I got to spend even more time with Loxley and Ludo. Then, in October , I stood on the scales and almost cried with joy when the numbers flashed up: 11st 12lbs. After years of thinking that trying to lose weight was futile, I felt so proud of myself.
As I left the room, I felt elated. One of my biggest dreams had always been to climb Snowdon.
