How I did it
It made me
healthier 
How I did it: I think on the whole, I've achieved this. I'm much more likely to order just one course when eating out now and if I buy take away, I don't force myself to eat it all but eat a portion then save the rest for next meal times as nearly everything can be reheated safely. I've also made an effort to cook more often which is good because it means that I shop more efficiently, buying ingredients for planned meals instead of just buying what I fancy. Read how I did it…
It made me
How I did it: I forbade myself from eating anything that wasn't prepared in my own kitchen for a whole month and found that by the end of that time, I didn't want to eat junk any more. I will definitely keep this up. Read how I did it…
It made me
How I did it: I got a cleaner - best money I ever spent. She does a couple of hours a week and my quality of life has improved dramatically. I come home mid week, tired from work and my house is all clean and perfect. It's such a boost, a time-saver that allows me to enjoy my weekends and not feel guilty. Only wish I'd got one sooner!
