Bean's bird no no no Amy no no it's all this stuff if it was a pee on its own without know the husband Damian it's a case of opposites attract my relationship with food is completely different to Vicky's I truly truly enjoy to eat and eat well I think it's one of life's little pleasures with Vicky failing to share Damian's love of food family life is now seriously under threat because it feels good pork chops taste good bacon tastes good married last year Vickie refused to go on honeymoon and despite five years of trying Damien still can't get Vicky to eat out for our anniversary we wouldn't go for a meal I don't know what we'll do probably good Domino's Pizza round but with three-year-old daughter Ella eating more than mum there's a real need for change I miss out on so many things and I and I don't want my daughter to notice and start picking up bad habits from me I have to do something about it it's day one of a month-long dietary makeover for Vicky she's in London to meet the experts we'll be helping your confront her food fears so Vicky how you feeling about being here I'm really really nervous today actually okay so we'll start with taking you in here and showing you something ready to kick things off Charlotte and Felix have arranged a wake-up call from Vickie's family and friends right Vicky the next four weeks are gonna be really tough but you're gonna have our help and support along the way but what we really need you to be able to do and we're not there to help you is dig deep so we want to show you something today just to keep with you as a source of inspiration okay good luck thinking what's he saying thank you thank you [Music] [Applause] [Music] hi Vicky after putting me through all this I hope the programs end that we'll be able to sit down and have a good cooked meal together hi Vicky I just wanted to say I am slightly concerned that Ella does look to you as a role model and so she might be picking up on the kind of food that you're eating which could have a negative effect on her in the long term I Viki I just wanted to say well done for taking this step you're definitely making the right choice how nice it would be for us to be able to be a family unit and do the other things that families need to do and do together without the planning that goes into it or the limitations that we have in place so I love you dig deep some stick with it and let's see when you come from the other side I'm thinking how was that for you what you know it was everything that I now but obviously well it's poem front of you meets it reiterates the problem and that everyone knows it's a problem for me so do all the comments about Ella and her health and seeing you as a role model is that something that you feel really motivates you absolutely you know I'm not in a position to just play around now if it's always like the dual die card has been dealt to me if I don't try now well we will never change well I've got a lot of work ahead of us now Vicki so are you ready for it yep well let's begin okay Felix and Charlotte have organized a surprise for Vicki one that they hope will shock her into action we've taken a look at your diet done a few calculations in total you eat 550 pizzas a year which quite friendly is a lot of pizza and makes me feel slightly nauseous it does look absolutely terrible and smells really bad and one of the things that's predominant about this is the amount of cheese on top but this is not the only cheese that you're eating in your diet I mean Vicki you eat a twelfth of this every month at office is a huge chunk of this and the idea of having still wade through that seemed like an ideal to me is this a year then yeah this is a year how does army how does that make you feel looking at that it's very solid doesn't it makes me feel sick to smell good it smells like fat yeah yeah right yeah it does smell like fat I think we need to just maybe further illustrate a point we lead you over here what oh here's my purse well this is pure animal fat and we worked out that this is an the amount of animal fat in your diet over a year which is twice as much as a healthy person should be consuming that looks putrid so we've got a lot to be working with here and I need you to remember all of this yeah you wait - my husband sees this I'm never gonna live it down now I think today's exercise really shocked Vicki she only shops for pizzas daily to avoid seeing how much she actually really eats and the accumulation of what she is truly appalling to see in its entirety to have that kind of diet for some 28 years suggest for a strong-willed person and I haven't seen that yet but I expect some resistance some controlling behavior so I still think we've got a lot of work ahead of us 24 hours later and Vicki is still coming to terms with the truth about her appalling diet I went to bed and it was just mulling over this information I just couldn't stop thinking about the lard the cheese the pizzas and I was nearly physically sick quite a few times last night I just couldn't sleep it made me feel so poorly that I think I actually did more it affected me more than I actually realized I really want Vicki to succeed at this it's it's crucially important that she does for all our sakes I mean for her more so than anybody but also for Ella and for me as well I guess Vicki was born into an affectionate loving family in Abbeville South Wales a middle child she was a real daddy's girl but at the age of three she began to show the first signs of an eating problem she was very stubborn she always wanted her way or no way at all so that was a little bit of difficulty she would never sort of toe the line [Music] Vicki's father worked away from home so it was left to her mum Eleanor to try and get her to eat they have the same personalities which meant they continually disagreed about everything I just remember lots of arguments I was just being fussy I was just trying you know being a little madam and everyone was also frustrated with me at age nine Vicki began retreating from family mealtimes she's in too easy in her room by herself when we had family meal was her meals always yeah always very separate from ours as she became a teenager that's when she became more stubborn and would decide on what she wants to eat when Vicki left home her relationship with her mum improved but her eating deteriorated sadly Vicki's mum died three years ago and never got to see her daughter eat a full meal in less than a month Vicki will face her final challenge her first meal out in years Charlotte wants to kick-start her dietary makeover so has sent her some homework in the form of a healthy hamper we need you to wean you off your favorite food cheese start by clearing all the blocks of cheese from your fridge in here is memos cheese though he's not allowed cheese anymore [Music] and that one well done they got it just smart really no you threw the threw it away and but it's got to be done so you've got rid of all the cheese in the house so that would be a good replacement to replace her cheese free fridge Charlotte's provided a hamper of fresh vegetables to eat over the next week and has even suggested the first recipe of carrot and Swede mash mummys got to put some carrots look and some sweet and make mash what do you think that's gonna taste like is it gonna be yummy I've never ever cooked any of anything in here in my life faced with the prospect of a dramatic change it's not long before Vicki's stubborn side reveals itself thing is I wouldn't eat this in a million years who's gonna taste it like that I don't like it anyway so [Music] it's not gonna mash too hard I don't find that very appetizing why don't you teach them tell me what you think is it nice oh yeah it's lovely this is going back to my chart heard this is exactly what it was in the table I think they would keep saying a try I have a few more mouths fours you know and then I just end up so I'm just squishing it all down and sort of moving it around a plate so it look like I've that loads something like that and then yeah be put in the bid [Music] halfway through the first week and Vicki is showing signs of falling at the first hurdle Charlotte calls her to London for her first one-on-one nutrition session it's really important for this exercise that I really gauge where Vicki's boundaries lie and where we need to move her to and how we're going to do that it's also really important that Vickie sees those issues as well with Vicki reluctant to eat vegetables in the confines of her own home Charlotte is keen to see how she'll cope with a bit of encouragement is that your first reaction when you see this array of foods only because I see salmon and I remember my first memory of food yeah going off of food with salmon that's the first thing I've got the memory of the the reason that these foods are here particularly is because I wanted to find foods that really plugged holes in your current diet and also tries to make amends for some of the ills in your diet I want to try with the cucumber first [Laughter] okay yes what am i worse that's probably you know that's why you're giving it to me oh okay yes what's your feeling about cucumber oh do you know even if somebody's got this on their breath it makes me feel sick when was the last time you ate this I've never actually eaten it oh okay so a minority tastes the way you believe your tastes no okay then should taste it to find out I think okay yeah do I have to [Music] on a scale of one to ten how much would you say you just like that I'd say about five so that's right that's kind of putting your bets all the way really mm-hmm let's try you on red pepper after over two decades of claiming she can't eat vegetables actually it's quite nice Vicki's positive reaction to the foods to eat the whole thing yeah it's surprising to say the least nice of God laughs a spit that's a real mouthful having come so far Charlotte decides to test the true extent of Vicki's boundaries right so what's your thoughts when you see this I hate fish and I won't even let my husband cook it in the hell can you cut a piece off salmon is one of the dishes that completely put Vicki off food this is the first time she's come this close to eating it in three decades I don't think I'm gonna like this but you don't know [Music] just be nice it almost seems like just two people there's the one who has really boxed herself in into this tiny constricted bland diet and then there seems to be someone in there who's quite curious about things and then quite open-minded when she does try things so I'm gonna be very interested to see where these two people meet I think where they meet is where we're gonna meet the resistance Vicki's proved that she can eat vegetables and fish with Charlotte watching over her but the biggest test will be coping on her own Charlotte's homework for Vicki is to eat two new veg a day but it's not long before she demonstrates for the next few weeks won't be easy I'm going against the wishes of Shara it's evening and I'm going to have cheese on my dad we take you to her this evening I need to get some cheese this evening and I'm having it with my jacket potato if you're like an alcoholic it's like a secret mission off to get the cheese got to do it into the cover of darkness [Music] demonstrating that her problem is less about a phobia and more about mindset the next day Vicki has her first session with psychologist Felix he wants to delve into her past and find out where her eating problems first began so Vicki can you tell me a little bit about how your diet is a problem for you in your life well the main problem I have with it is the fact that I can't go out for a meal I don't have dinner with my family I can't go broad because I won't like food [Music] every time there's any any family get-togethers then I've always got to be sort of segregated often to get the things that I like that sounds really constraining that doesn't it yeah absolutely absolutely but it's it is for everybody who be around me just have fun you in tough and others as well yes okay so it makes sense then just avoid it if it's a negative yeah absolutely I have been told that when my parents went away on holiday um I was staying with my nan and I wouldn't eat at all and then apparently when they come back my dad asked me if I wanted some food and then I just start eating and if he was away apparently I just lie on the sofa and and cry wouldn't do anything until I could speak to him on the phone but I've pretty much got having my own way about nearly everything what would happen if you didn't get your own way I'd be so angry because what would it mean to you because I wouldn't like it wouldn't been my decision like it's not-it's not even it's not about that it's that I like what I like and if somebody changes that it would be something that would just forever annoy me when her father was absent Vicky revealed should actually go on hunger strikes that's exactly the time when she started trying to really control her food I think unless Vicki's really willing to look at some of those underlying childhood issues she's unlikely to ever embrace eating new foods it's the end of the first week and without Charlotte next to her the stubborn Vicky is refusing to embrace any kind of changes to her diet special pizza [Music] Damian stop triangle and Pizza stir fry some chicken okay okay I have I'm just not in the mood to I'm hungry I just want to eat some stretchy food and get nice before then I'll run first are you doing it guys yeah you get bleep stuff in a minute yeah well probably post more intense [Music] I am gonna order a pizza I don't feel guilty I don't feel guilt I don't feel guilty can I order a large cheese and tomato pizza please when I'm at that point that I'm hungry and I've made my decision that this is what I want there is no way I am going to be sold with a different food when I want a pizza and I'm really hungry I will have work no stopping me really [Music] it's the start of week two Charlotte is concerned that Vicki is losing the commitment needed to conquer her cheese habit so she's brought her to London for an appointment on Harley Street today we're meeting dr. pixie and I really hope that what we're going to discuss is going to shock Vicki into understanding the long-term health implications of her diet dr. pixie McKenna is a GP with a special interest in eating problems she's performed an analysis of Vicki's blood and has some serious news for her I'm very surprised you're looking so well actually now we've worked out that you're taking twice the amount of salt that you should be in your diet it's a well-known medical fact that that will push up your blood pressure a cheese based diet is high in salt and saturated fat an adult should not consume more than 6 grams of salt a day Vicki consumes nearly twice this this high salt intake puts Vicki at greater risk of high blood pressure dr. Pixy wants to shock Vicki into action so she gives her some double vision goggles that makes you dizzy to simulate the symptoms of high blood pressure how are you feeling now dizzy you could also have nausea headache giddiness sickness buzzing in your ears and you feel really really really unwell would you be able to cut a piece of cheese and litres do you feel I could do much no I think I used to lie down yeah that's exactly how you would feel if you had really high blood pressure while cheese does have certain health benefits in vast quantities it can be a killer a diet high in saturated fat can create a buildup of arterial plaque in the veins leading to circulatory problems and eventually even stroke or heart disease we researched and we actually found especially for you picture of a heart of a man in his 40s who had a diet very similar to yours now can you see that I'll just plant so is that actually a layer of that completely around the heart that is strangling it insulating it but strangulating it yeah it's not very nice it's not very nice as it Vicky was very frightened by the fatty heart is it enough to get her to change her diet she's so happy go-lucky and easygoing I'm not sure 24 hours later and the session with dr. pixie still has Vicki upset but not about the fatty heart those who particularly happy about how it went I felt that the way that I was being spoke to was as if I had complete control of the situation and that I could have eaten a healthy diet of my own back quite easily and I was just choosing not to I'm well aware that of my problem and it's just for some reason I've been unable to go any vegetables meats and everything else so I sort of felt that she didn't take that into consideration I felt like I was a bit just bit more lazy and that's hurtful across to me [Music] over halfway into the process and Vicki is still failing to let go of her old habits concerned that they have less than two weeks to inspire any kind of change Charlotte and Felix meet up in London to compare notes she's not doing the homework particularly well I mean she will eat different foods when she's with me but when it comes to being on her own and doing her homework there's such a resistance to change there she still got this childhood mentality yeah and we need to really move her from childhood to adulthood absolutely and I don't think she realized fully how difficult this was gonna be and how much effort she was gonna have to put in we are really gonna have to push her outside her comfort zone and I think there's a danger that we could push her so far that she shuts down really Charlotte and Felix believe that Vicki's relationship with food is trapped in childhood for a second healthy hamper challenge Charlotte wants to bring out the parent in Vicki recipes she's not only got to prepare meals for herself but for daughter Ella and husband Damian as well all right you have been provided with eight recipes your aim for this week week is to cook a meal for Ella each day for this selection of recipes provided cooking a family meal would be a first for Vicki have you always relied on husband Damian to do all the cooking salmon and prawns no way PepsiCo do any of those everything in here personally this you know I know it's for Ella everything it's very chunky which I don't like these are all completely different things now so the control aspects of comes in and I just I feel like I don't want to try it I don't want to try them especially if I'm cooking because I'm rubbish at cooking once again I should go and get the fishmonger to prepare the fish [Music] this is the first time she's ever cooked for me it is a massively significant moment because from this point on muggins isn't doing all the kicking you just turn off Damien thoughts this is for me I think you'd be right I think you're like that will make it for me for her first meal she pumps her vegetable chili [Music] my major problem battle with vegetables has always been it'd be lumpy not taste texture that is just horrible well you just got the hump because you don't do it hey lady but that's why we're here Vicky you know that was Vicky's typical reaction that she normally has to feed I've been surprised it's been quite held in so long she's managed to stop herself from doing I guess up until now but you could see as soon as she was set the challenge today for the week that she was determined almost to to set herself to a failure because of a mindset at this moment I'm I I just don't want to do any more cooking I don't I'd rather not do it to be honest its moment own because you know it's all right things got a bit worse as I went along but they you know I just think that that is just - just gonna set me right back [Music] Felix believes Vicki's problems with food are rooted in her childhood so wants to find out more hi Paul he had to Swindon to meet up with her father this particular photo the teacher or whoever was doing the photograph towed her to pose like that because I was quite I said well that figure that's not your pose I am Jenny that's right yes and that wasn't Vicki this is when she's in her teens you've got a finger up there you know although you're taking a photograph of me as Vicki's mother Eleanor passed away three years ago it's left to Paul to fill in the missing pieces well I suppose when Vicki was born being the second child I was rather hoping it would be a boy so for a millisecond by I was a little disappointed however Vicki didn't disappoint me to a certain extent because she was into cars little cars garages and things like that and she would be fighting boys it was certainly said that she had the traits I thought of a boy little more attention to her and we've got very glamorous photo here yes vicki has suddenly decided that does she want to do modelling why I think she throws herself well whatever project she's in or whatever she wants to do she throws herself a hundred percent into it can you tell me what were your earliest memories of Vicki Sonny starting to have some slightly unusual eating patterns yes I suppose I can remember I have to say vaguely because I was at work you know that's a long working day and my job also meant that I was away from her periods of time however I can recollect that you know there was a concern about her eating whether she was eating sufficiently enough to sustain herself was the most mention that Vicki would go on these kind of hunger strikes when you're away yes yes I understood whenever my phone call came in to the home there was Vicky who had been lying on the city all day wouldn't move then suddenly when that phone call came through and it was me she became animated and grabbed the phone and there she wasn't talking away as soon as the conversation was finished she would just go back and lie down on the city sort of a hard situation her father have a little girl yeah empower me be secretly delighted if my daughter so her kicking up a fuss because I'm not there it felt good that you know that somebody so small would would would be missing you would understand that you know a lot of Vicky's problems do stem from her childhood and especially around the times Paul was away on work I think what Vicky seems to have done is started to control her eating as a way of getting attention to make up for the loss of her father and now that she has her own family that's really getting in the way from what she really wants to do with Vicki failing to embrace the challenge of cooking for her family Charlotte has arranged to meet her at a soup kitchen in Redding she wants to inspire her by getting her to cook for the homeless I'm really hoping that today Vicki starts to understand how nurturing cooking can be and that when you when she starts to cook for herself understand the process of making food and giving it to other people that she connects that with nourishing and enjoyment and pleasure Charlotte set her to work on making a nourishing minestrone soup she can serve to the homeless for lunch do you think this is something Ella would like yeah yeah [ __ ] and she'd be open to trying this I wish you enjoy making it with you I suspect that if you made this with earlier than you would get enjoyment out of this process as well and it would help you I think she could really help you move forward I haven't get a start setting time aside at the weekends bit walks we need to look more family times you know maybe it would be something that I can start doing as part of a Sunday dinner you know something for the soup or something and my own board everything can cook the roast [Music] I've also looked at food he's a negative experience but today it was you know it was quite an honor I supposed to cook for people and to know what I was doing was a real positive impact on somebody else's life back at home and with a renewed sense of enthusiasm Vicky attempts to make her family at stir fried and completely failed that's horrible noodles okay smells like dislike up in my picker that money oh it's disgusted if you think of it excuse me that's horrible that's called cold I don't think I like for their final challenge looming in less than a week Felix believes the only way to cure Vicki is to tackle her control issues head-on he feels the best way to do this is to strap her to the wings of this plane and launch a 500 feet into the air she's going to be in a situation of high stress she's gonna have no control but I'm hoping at the end of it she realize it can be a positive experience for her okay Vicki so this is your next challenge and this is what I want you to do how do you feel about that freaky lot you're gonna be up there where that lady is [Music] what's the light on experience I offer it yeah well done Vicki I know you can do this I have faith in you so let's get you kitted up and then you're gonna have an amazing experience and learn something really positive from it I've just been to the toilet that's always okay for me to do this today is absolutely massive right foot I got so many layers are they Co get me [ __ ] by doing this I think what we'll achieve is been able to put my the controls given to somebody else I'm gonna be holding on for dear life if I can do this I'll be able to do pretty much anything well hey I think something of this magnitude is a kind of breakthrough moment because it Vicki's willing to do this and just to trust in the process and just see what happens then then that really is something of a landmark [Music] [Music] [Music] she's actually getting the signal to do slightly more dangerous stuff so the planes tilting and it's dipping that she's really going for it C therapy can also be a lot of fun [Music] Oh [Music] good oh it's lumpy food in comparison something like this [Music] hey you're amazing amazing well done was really really brilliant so Vicky after braving the sky on this plane how do you feel about braving lumpy food I thought I can go for it now yeah pletely yeah it was absolutely amazing one of those experiences that you think if I can do this I can pretty much do anything so amazing amazing day [Music] the following morning Vicky receives her next healthy hamper challenge from Charlotte from now on they will be in charge you decide what you eat on a daily basis well also and also any activities you would like to you to do more what I wanted you to learn from this exercise is that it's okay to not always be in control of everything around you good luck well you can no it doesn't mean I have to eat like steak I do believe it says from now on Damian will be in charge yeah but full stop we all know that men aren't fully in charge we're just giving you a little bit of the range don't read that again it's now on Damian will be in charge your first task is - I'm chef - Vince with it really that's a that's a really good it's gonna be a good week for me I don't like cooking said okay but it's not just about the cooking is that it's about letting go I'm letting go letting you cook okay you have to do what I say for the next seven days so he passed me the remote please [Laughter] [Music] tonight I thought that he would be introduced to curry vinegar yeah blue neck there is a big ol G I don't like lemons I sort of feel that that might be a bit of a limp next up is homemade Stilton and mushroom turret right babe what's in there Stilton no magic she put some salad on just a little bit the meal that Damian cooked for me today was it was really nice actually over the last of couple of weeks I've found it quite negative and hard work and stressful but today sort of showed me that I could have a meal and new meal of things I've never had before and to enjoy it Vickey continues to build on the success of Damien's choices well I forgot the filming of the preparation of the food but I had a roast dinner that this is Damian who cooked the roast dinner and that's his plate and his mind and as you can see I have very much everything on there different so I can't believe what a fantastic result that she's done incredibly well on that I understand you know it's like an inspirational moment for me if I can if I can conquer that and I like it I think it would be all heaps of bounce from here viki's finally embracing a more varied diet but Felix wants to address the root of her problems with food vicki has repressed the emotions she felt as a child and Felix feels this is holding her back Felix is a [ __ ] he's dad to choose the place to come and talk about the past the Silent Valley is a cemetery near where Vicki's mother grew up and where her immediate family members are buried Vicki's never actually spoken to father about her problems with eating and I know that a lot of Vicki's anxiety around eating was because the father was absent working away a lot and so today I'm hoping that by bringing her here to this special neutral place they can feel comfortable and safe enough talking about their feelings about their relationships in the past when Vicki's problems started surfacing and after that I hope they'll get some sort of closure what happened and be able to move forward okay so Paul and Vicky here were in a place of special significance to both we want to get some closure for what went on at the time even though it's happened in the past it's never too late to get some new clarity on it during that time that Vicky developed this problematic relationally a lot that's right what is it you need at age 4 to hear from dad that if you heard this you and have needed to dig your heels and then react that way I think having stress at four was very difficult to handle renewed that you know I suppose that and I was quite an aggressive kid and I think that's was probably where a lot of it stems just you know if I had my time over again it would have been more sensitive to the issues of the family if I could have looked forward and seen that we would been very positive and done something about it and we spent more energy and made it more of a priority so yes if I had time buck again certainly would have spent a lot more time in dealing with what was a fussy team and and taken more a serious view of it so there is a concession from Paul that had to work but I do apologize for not being around and what your dad is saying now is in hindsight I'll have more of an input in that what they feel like different I think it would just you know be an elevating feel and I suppose my life wouldn't be so I do control things because I wouldn't like to think that I'd have a negative experience at the hands of somebody else so I think it you know it would just be it make life a lot easier for me just gonna be that process day I can just have a hug and let that forgive us just be expressed Vicki is trying to lay her problems to rest so her father is also inspired to take a step at embracing the future coming back here there was always something I I wanted to do but never got rain to it and it's been three years since Eleanor died and this is where she would came from and I wanted to scatter some of her ashes here to return her to her home [Music] it does feel but it field just feel liberated mean it definitely feel that I don't know the past is gone to bed I suppose in the way [Music] I think the penny may finally dropped for figgy has never been the food itself has caused upon its the circumstances in which those anxieties rose that's always been a problem [Music] [Music] after four weeks Vicky is at the end of her dietary makeover Felix and Charlotte invite Becky and her husband Damien to London where they have one final challenge for her now I know it's your wedding anniversary today it is yeah and I also know that you've never been abroad together or had a real romantic meal together that's true your final challenge is that you're going to Paris and Damien is going to choose a restaurant for you to eat in Damien is also going to choose the meal that you have no cheese or pizza and you're going to enjoy it together [Music] I wonder what she's gonna say how far will he push [Music] this will be the first time Vicky and Damian have ever traveled abroad together or even simply been out for a romantic meal arriving in Paris first up for Vicki is not the sights but determining what food they serve they got physical vegetarian you're in France for cake you can the French you know they think of vegetarianism to it Richie what am I supposed to know this is the kind of the point is now which one looks the worst VA for now all yours okay so about the sea urchins okay well it has some legacy you know spawns sure it's not a fish of seafood doesn't that isn't a fishes it after two hours Damien finally decides on a restaurant Vicky approves of serving Asian and Mediterranean cuisine unfortunately all in French I don't understand the longer reserved an Australia so just about will avenge [Music] right to endeavor sausage you won't go for beef you're not gonna go for fish so I think that well you just willfully advanced chicken really doesn't it yeah you try that come on saucy stomata Puli I think you'd be right I think you'll be pleasantly surprised well I've got faith in you so I think you'll be able to do as long as you just set your mindset salad for the first time in over two decades Vicky has ordered a meal that doesn't involve cheese or pizza having initially resisted changing will Charlotte and Felix's makeover be the beginning of a new dietary door okay yeah thank you very much yeah it's good okay samples in here to get our wholesale you've got rice it's probably I think that's pineapple or [Music] which thing and it's okay I can explain it this doesn't really do it for me all I could eat it it's about being able to enjoy other foods it's not a question of just dismissing it as no it's not as good as Pizza is it nice in its own right is what I'm trying to say yeah it's okay it's okay it's not George destroy some black lenses no I don't want that much money we dizzy so don't be for food anymore right so just try that no I do I just see thank you possibly babe you're not gonna have any more curry will you try Jamie why are you pushing me if I say don't want it why we got to keep going rich try something else on the menu and that was why I particularly chose this one because I thought you would try the lens or I'm a little bit annoyed that she she backed out of trying the lentils but as soon as I started to push that was it there's no way she was going to change mine when today I've taken out that I don't want to go out for a meal again all it is I suppose is that if you don't like something or you know like you try you don't like it's a continuous thing I suppose it's more it's frustrating it's every time it's like a waste of time really mine was lovely despite Vicky's despondency the fact that the couple are eating out at all on their wedding anniversary in Paris is success enough for Damien what you say well don't forget it's for I know your final challenge was one of the hardest of the United a but then being self-employed is baby steps you know we achieve what we wanted to do we actually went out for meal together do you know what sometimes I look back and I think I've come really really far [Music] no you and in other days I don't think I've moved at all no where I want to be is a million miles away from where I am now and in it's going to take me a long time to get right would it be [Music] it's two weeks after her final challenge as Vicki strayed off the path to healthy eating forever the week after I got to admit that it just went apart to 90s we're back to pieces and cheese but despite Viki slipping back into some of her old eating habits she has introduced some new foods into her diet I have some easy salads had some carrots [Music] [Applause] still having the cheese but whether a more balanced diet vicki is now introducing fresh vegetables into all of her daily meals something she hasn't done for over 28 years I think it's wonderful like he's come this far he'll make a massive difference in family because we can now concentrate on enjoying what we're doing instead of having to worry about that he's easy from where was it beginning to where I am now I'm having vegetables on my plate so I'm eating things I never had before so it's you know it's been an amazing thing really [Music] [Applause] you [Applause]
