PMSL, I would actually prefer that job at the moment, rather than the three I am trying to cram into 37 hours a week!
Anyhoo, best get back to them I suppose!

Get a house-mate who enjoys cooking healthy meals. Problem solved 
(My problem is I hate shopping so don't have anything to cook
)
For a fat barsteward I seem to have a knack for healthy cooking/eating. To start with I'd cut back on energy-draining foods (seem to recall the term Hi-GI) such as refined breads, cakes, biscuits, sugary sweets (including those fudge things from Edinburgh Castle).
This will also allow you to consume less fat, particularly saturated fat, and fewer calories (I won't talk about carb cutting as you've said it doesn't suit you). Those simple changes to your diet should help you to find yourself feeling full and full of energy. Combine those with an active lifestyle and excess pounds will begin to disappear (not that I recall you having any excess pounds).
As tough as it sounds try and eat 7 or more servings of fruit per day. There are two benefits to this - not only are they low in fat/calories which will help weight loss, they also have been proven to reduce teh risk of developing cancers and other life-threatining diseases. The wider the variety you eat (aim for lots of different coloured ones) the more immunity-boosting antioxidants you will get, which help fight disease. Also worth remembering is that fruit often doesn't need preparing. Or if you do feel adventurous then combine them into a smoothie.
If you've gone of banana then you can still choose from apples, pears, plums, cherries, peaches, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, kiwi fruit, oranges, lemons, grapefruit, tinned fruits in juices (try to avoid syrup).
If you want ready-made sarnies, try to get the 'healthy' versions and insist on having wholemeal bread. To be honest, it's much easier if you can spare 10 minutes before going to bed to prepare your own sandwhich for the next day as you can police exactly what goes into it.
There is a reason I am promoting wholegrain. Eating wholegrain foods is also advantageous as they offer a slow release of fuel and therefore are sustaining for longer. They will also increase your fiber intake which reduces not only your cholesteral but also your waistline. Research has also shown that eating one or more servings of wholegrain food per day reduces the risk of death from ischemic heart disease in women by 33%.
If you dread making breakfast and woudl rather have an extra 5 minutes (or five hours) in bed in the mornings, then why not spend 15 minutes, say on a Sunday, to make a weeks worth of breakfast? (or get your mum to make them if she's still making cakes or you).
Breakfast Muffins (makes 12, takes 15 minutes)
1 egg,
170g chopped apricots,
170g unsweetened muesli,
100ml honey,
250ml unsweetened apple juice,
250g self raising flour,
1 tsp baking powder.
Put apricots, muesli, flour and baking powder into a bowl, stir.
In a separate bowl, mix apple juice, honey and egg. Fold second these into the dry ingredienst but don't overmix.
Spoon mixture into muffin cases and bake at 190C (375F)/Gas mark 5 for 20 minutes. They shoudl stay fresh for about 4 days if kept in an air tight container.
I'm sure I have a book full of healthy living recipes somewhere, I'll dig it out if you are ever tempted to learn to cook.
Other basics include just eating lean-cuts of meats, chicken for protien etc, low-fat yoghurts rather than full fat (I'm quite addicted to the Tesco low fat strawberry yogurts at 8p a pot) etc etc.
Another thing I'd recommend trying to take a break from alcohol, even 14 days is enough to kick-start your body into burning other fuels. On a personal note I've often found that going to the gym with a hangover isn't productive

Healthy meals easy to cook? Get yourself down to Asda, look for the chilled foods aisle. They do two meals for a fiver, almost all based on either lean chicken breast or fish. All are tasty, and are basically just the meat, the sauce and the vegetables. The pasta/potatoes etc you come up with yourself (or not at all). About 30 different variations, so you're unlikely to get bored with them and they're constantly bringing out new ones. Some examples:
Chicken in coriander and lime
Salmon with lemon and dill
Chicken in red wine and mushroom sauce
Not like the highly processed stuff you'll find in the frozen foods aisle - this stuff is more or less fresh. All come in an aluminium tray you just stick straight in the oven, half an hour later and job's a goodun. Add a (small) amount of pasta and that's one easy low fat meal.

Don't have any of those magazines sadly, although when I go for my next dental appointment I'll steal a few from reception for you.Nothing wrong with being able to cook. Kinda got forced into learning to cook due to emigrating alone at the age of 20
