FACTS

Less than 1% out of the hundreds of millions of people who begin a nutritional and exercise program to attain weight loss or burn fat tissue ever achieve their goals

The benefits of a healthy diet begin in childhood, and can do much to reduce the risk of premature death or disability later in life. However, taking steps to improve diet at any time can make significant changes to your long-term health

previous week's diary

Tuesday 01 June 2004

Hi everyone. It has been some time since I wrote my last diary entry about my experiences of dieting and how I feel about the whole thing.

To be honest I have come to a point where I feel it is now time to go it alone, without the assistance of writing down my thoughts and feelings.

It is time to be brave.

I have had a wonderful few weeks, I am exercising regularly, eating healthy and feeling great. For the first time in years, I feel wonderful about who I am and how I look and now have the confidence to go forwards and continue to lose weight.

I could not have done it first of all without my hubby's support, he has been amazing. He has listened to me moan, cry, be depressed and gave me hugs when I needed them the most.

I also could not have done it without the support of the readers of my diary entries and all of your comments and tips.

I have been overwhelmed by the amount of support and encouragement I have received during the past 12 months and have been inspired by your own journeys to lose weight.

Thank you to you all.

I really feel I have the confidence to go forwards now and be a healthier, slimmer me and I hope my fellow dieters will reach this point in their own journeys, as it feels amazing.

The past 12 months have not been easy, but it has been worthwhile. I know this sounds corny but it has changed my life.

So before I say goodbye for the final time, I want to wish everyone out there good luck with their diets and remember to enjoy life along the way.

Big people can have fun too; life is for living, not sitting in a corner hiding away. Be proud of who you are and be confident of where you want to go.

Enjoy life, it really is for living (whatever your size)!
