As most people prepare to rid their home of every unhealthy treat in sight as they step into 2020, Andrea McLean has already made preparations to stop herself from the fall that follows a binge.
‘If you overindulge in partying and start again in January you just feel awful,’ admits Andrea.
‘I still have my blowouts – my biggest weakness is a biscuit – but massively crashing and having to pick yourself back up again is exhausting. So I try and keep on top of it the whole year round then there’s not this massive kick-start in January,’ she said.
Like most, Andrea has her body hang ups, including her waist, legs, bum and tum, and at 5ft 6ins her weight fluctuates between nine and 10 stone.
