It’s the colossal relief I recognise, like being out on parole after a stretch in prison. So many girlfriends – some famous, some not – have expressed it. We meet for a coffee or lunch and they look amazing. No secret about why.
Vanessa Feltz is now happier with her body, but it took decades of torment and two operations, the last one a gastric bypass which made it physically impossible for her to overeatI got to the same place myself – the place where my size, or what I put in my mouth, was not the thing I thought about first in the morning – but only after decades of torment and two operations, the last one a gastric bypass which made it physically impossible for me to overeat.

At the end of my first term at university, my mother said not ‘welcome home’ but ‘shall I bounce you in? You’re a great big pumped-up beach ball’. Career achievements never quite made up for the disappointment my parents expressed about my weight. To have complete strangers shout from buses ‘don’t eat that, V’, even if I were only having an apple, was hurtful. A woman once came up to me in Waitrose and said: ‘No wonder your husband left you.’
