Are you a seasonal dieter?

Hi there,
I'm a freelance journalist writing a feature for a top women's weekly magazine and I'm looking for case studies (aged 22 - 38) who are 'seasonal dieters' - there's at least £150 in it for you if you take part.

So, every year, you diet throughout, say, October/November (one or both!) in an attempt to shed some pounds so that, come December, not only can you eat and drink to excess without feeling guilty, you can also fit into your all-important Christmas party frocks. (lets be honest, we all do it!).

You would need to be able to provide previous snaps for the feature: one of you looking slim and uber-chic at a Xmas party and one from the autumn before embarkng on the diet, for example, looking normal/slightly bigger or taken from a bit of a funny angle (so the two look quite different basically).

We're not talking dramatic weight loss, it's more the ritual of it all, and the stories about having two different sets of clothes for example, e.g. Xmas frocks in a smaller size and everyday clothes in a size bigger.

You would also have to be willing to be photographed for the feature if need be and be interviewed over the phone.

Is this you or do you know someone who might fit the bill, friend, colleague, family member etc?

Please email me at alicegrebot@yahoo.co.uk if you're interested.

Many thanks.
