Size 20 Gemma, 36, says: “In five years’ time I ideally want to be walking down a lovely beach in Barbados, being a perfect size 14, with my gorgeous husband and three kids.
“If someone asks me on a date, I will go - but when it doesn’t work out I get so deflated and think: ‘Why do I put myself through this?’ If I lost weight, I’d be more at ease with myself. I do think: “Have I not got a boyfriend because I’m overweight?”. I think if I was slimmer, I’d go on more dates and be more secure in myself.”
