THE GRIT DOCTOR IS ONE TOUGH TASK-MISTRESS . . .

With her familiar tough-love style and wicked sense of humour, The Grit Doctor will demystify and simplify healthy eating, enabling readers to see past the bullsh!t and make practical and tasty choices for themselves and their families.

The fear of baring flesh. Suddenly those quick-fix diets start to look tempting. Lose a stone in a month? Sign me up now!But didn''t you try a similar diet last year?

Maybe it''s time to use this moment of motivation to make a real change to the way you eat and the way you exercise - and stick to it once the holiday''s just a memory.

I wouldn''t go to my husband''s Christmas party because I had nothing to wear that fitted me and refused to buy anything. I vowed that night that I would shift the excess weight. It was shortly after this that I read Run Fat B!tch Run - and it has changed my life around completely. Now five-and-a-half stone lighter I am now training to compete in The Dublin Marathon in October of this year. Are you suffering from Motivation Meltdown?
