- Cindy Vining took drastic action when extreme back pain meant she couldn't get out of bed for two weeks
Dramatic change: Cindy Vining, 42, lost nine stone in five months by following the LighterLife diet plan
Trying to avoid snacking between meals is something thousands of us struggle with every day.
But imagine how much harder it would be if delicious food was always just centimetres away.
Cindy, who runs several butchers and deli counters in Somerset, had always struggled to avoid tasting her deli's wares... until a drastic diet helped her lose 10 dress sizes.
The weightloss has been so dramatic that Cindy, who was always ashamed of her size 28 body, has just returned from her first beach holiday in 20 years – since her honeymoon.
The 42-year-old was embarrassed by her waistline - which looked even more exaggerated on her teeny 5ft 2 inch frame.
So for years she refused to go anywhere where she would have to wear a bikini, much to her husband's frustration.
But the tipping point came when Cindy couldn't get out of bed for two weeks because her weight had caused her extreme back pain.
She realised she needed a holiday, and that meant losing some weight.
Cindy had already tried and abandoned ten diets including including cabbage soup, grapefruit, cornflake, Slimming World, Weight Watchers, Cambridge and Atkins. None of them had worked, although she admits she hadn't really fully dedicated herself to them.
The desire to go away with her husband somewhere hot was the factor that finally gave Cindy the motivation she needed.
She started the LighterLife program and dropped to a size 8 within five months of taking up the diet, losing nine stone.
LighterLife, a drastic low-calorie weight-loss plan limits its followers by making them stick to a 500-calorie-a-day plan.
While cutting back was initially really, really hard, Cindy no longer snacks on food from her deli.

More importantly, she is now confident enough to get dressed up and go out for dinner with her husband – she recently went for her first romantic meal in 16 years.
Cindy's husband is as pleased as she is. He says he now has a brand new wife.
