  • Jill McTighe, a mother and school aide, bastes chicken for Sunday dinner in her kitchen in Willesden, London, United Kingdom. (Jill McTighe is featured in the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.)  The caloric value of her day's worth of food on a "bingeing" day in the month of September was 12300 kcals.

Honest about her food addiction replacing a drug habit, Jill joked about being a chocoholic as she enthusiastically downed a piece of chocolate cake at the end of the photo session.

She says this photo experience was a catalyst for beginning a healthier diet for herself and her family.  MODEL RELEASED.
