So being on benefits means that you can't afford healthy food for yourself and your family so you should get more money, but you can afford junk food and takeaways?
'I tried swimming but it cost £22 a month and it meant I had to cut back on my favourite pizza and Chinese takeaways.'
Newsflash, that is what people in the real world do, budget and cut back in order to afford things. Plus in your case cutting down on pizza and takeaways can only be a good thing, although something tells me it may end up bankrupting a couple of local businesses. Hell if you really are that determined to exercise then go for walks, that doesn't cost anything.
She feels her only hope is for the government to give her more money so she can afford to buy fruit and vegetables and join a gym.
Here is a novel idea, instead of spending what looks like a small fortune on junk food and snacks try going to a less expensive supermarket like Lidl and getting some fresh produce instead. Let's be honest here, for the amount you have spent on the snacks and shite in the photograph and the daily takeaways you mentioned you could buy a weeks worth of fresh fruit and veg. You could also save more money by stopping with the godawful hair dye and 'body art' as well.
She also believes she should be paid to lose weight as that would give her the motivation to fight the flab.
She told the magazine: 'I need more benefits to eat healthily and exercise. It would be good if the government offered a cash incentive for me to lose weight. I'd like to get £1 for every pound I lose, or healthy food vouchers.
So you want to be paid money as motivation to lose weight, what happened to you being terrified that you would leave your children without a mother because of your weight? Call me cynical but to most parents I'd say that would be enough of an incentive.
