Karen Wright: Time for some healthy eating to shift that lockdown weight gain

The lockdown has played havoc with my figure. The dark and long days of winter are when we crave comfort food − stews, pies and so on. Many of us have been using the time at home to hone our creative skills in the kitchen too. I have been hosting zoom classes and I have seen some spectacular results so it has been a very productive time in some ways but it has taken its toll on my waistline.

I took stock of the situation last week and signed up to a healthy eating plan. I used to be a class leader in this area so I do know how to eat a healthy balanced diet but I need the discipline of making a commitment in a class situation to get motivated and to really start to shift the weight.
