As a teenager I was your stereo-type portrait, greasy hair, spots and bushy eyebrows. I think I went through a very greedy stage and ate everything in sight. My favourite night was Friday when it was family takeaway night. We would usually order from the local curry house as my Dad was the one in charge. There are six of us in our family so we required a large box for all of our goodies. We always ordered too much and there would be leftovers everywhere; a selection of samosas, curry and rice left over which could have fed us all over again! I was like a human dustbin and would demolish all of this, swishing it down with gallons of cola.

Despite having a diet full of junk, fizzy pop and no exercise I remained annoyingly slim during my teenage years. I never contemplated drinking water, eating salads or going along with the idea of eating everything in moderation. Much to my horror, this was not to last and I noticed my weight creep up in my late twenties. It was definitely a gradual thing but it hit me like a bolt of thunder.

I had been away to Greece for 2 weeks and carried on with my indulgent lifestyle. I especially loved the Greek cuisine and tucked into a large portions of mousakka washed down with sophisticated mojitos. I had an amazing time and couldn't wait to see all my photos I had taken. Apparently the camera adds on 10 pounds but when I looked at my photos I was horrified. Lying on the most beautiful golden sandy beaches was a beach whale – it was me! I am surprised the locals did not call for Green Peace to come and save the whale.

I am glad I got this wake up call and I have totally turned myself around. I am now munching on fresh fish and vegetables and drinking lots of water. Anyone who is thinking about losing weight or carrying out a healthy lifestyle should definitely go for it. My saviour has been water – yes I know most people think it's boring and would rather sip on a glass of chardonnay but it's remarkable. I can't believe I never used to drink it but it has so many benefits.

When I was my former unhealthy self I used to suffer from numerous headaches which pounded all day. I have now found out that this could have been caused by dehydration. I still drink the odd glass of cola but I now see the drink as poison in my body. Water is certainly the way forward for us all. Not only has it helped with my headaches my skin is now much clearer and although now in my early 30's I have never looked so good.

My work buddies think I am crazy but I can't say enough good things about water! Every time I go by their desks I leave them a fresh glass of water from the water cooler. I know it's not quite the jam doughnut they would like to see but it's for all their benefit. I have been thinking I should get commission on everytime I promoted water – I am a total ambassador.
