Meet Dawn

Dawn is 38 years old and is a receptionist for a solicitors firm in Islington. She lives with her partner and two children in Hackney.

Dawn has a very poor diet; an average working week day involves her having two cups of coffee before she leaves for work (three sugars in each), then she picks up some kind of egg and bacon baguette or sausage, bacon, hash browns on her way to work from somewhere like McDonalds. Her lunch is either  KFC, kebab or a fat filled tuna, cheese and mayo ciabatta with loads of butter. Her evening consist of meals that she cooks herself such as chicken or pork roast, fish, spaghetti bolognaise, fried chicken with veg and rice, chicken wings in bread crumbs with garlic bread and corn on cob etc.. Every meal will have meat with it.

She eats all sorts of kebabs (depending on how bad the day has been) from doner, to shish and kelafico with all the usual trimmings. Often the family will go out for food and it’s usually to grill-type restaurants serving meat.

Dawn cannot get through the day without a constant supply of full fat Pepsi, the family get through at least three or four large bottles of Pepsi a week. At work she drinks cans of other fizzy drinks.

Dawn doesn’t do any exercise, although she would like to, she says she doesn’t have the energy. She would like to ride a bike, but she is too embarrassed to; she has three parks within a five minute radius of where she lives.

She knows her weight is affecting her health and says it is not good for her son to see her like this; she is passing on her bad habits, she says he’s following in her footsteps.
