Thanks for all your replies
I am so pleased to see that alot of you think times have changed and I would be in with a chance. I have plenty of experience in customer-facing roles and do like to take care of my appearance so finger crossed! I'm not really bothered who I apply to work for....anyone that will take me really to start with
apaddyinuk...i'm definately not starving myself...could never do that! I'm following a weight watchers diet which is brill so if no one takes me on this year, there is always next year when hopefully I will be a healthier size.
Really all your stories have encouraged me even more now and I'm so excited!
