I feel like I must comment on the sad loss of Amy Winehouse. Every paper, tv station and social media site has sited a mixture of comments around the idea that we were sadly expecting an early end to this talented stars life due to her addiction to drugs and alcohol. Some people have gone as far as to say they have no sympathy as she chose to behave in this way. Whilst others absolve her of any blame, blaming the stronghold of addiction. I hope this sad story helps our young people gain the strength to say No.....
The question I found myself asking as a result was, What is the difference between a drug addict and an obese person with a poor relationship with food?

Welcome to ‘Slimtimes’ my new blog. A place where we can share a chat, exchange helpful information and gain valuable advice. I want this site to be the first place you turn to celebrate all your successes as you move forward with your new healthy lifestyles.
This weekend I was away on a youth coaching course and I was fortunate to meet a wonderful group of people who really want to make a difference to our young people’s lives.
Whilst I was there I was asked what I thought the ideal ingredient for success is when trying to change your relationship with food.
