Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

Tackling Obesity: Discussion with Operation Transformation

10:35 am

Ms Deirdre Halford:

My husband has been doing the programme with me and is eating the same foods as me and he is one pound ahead of me. I was doing so well. I notice my mother, who would not be keeping to the programme, is eating healthier. She is having brown wraps instead of white bread. Dr. Eva gave me some advice recently about my son. I was cooking a dinner for us and a dinner for him but now he eats what we eat and he loves it. My whole family's eating habits and attitude to exercise have changed. Five weeks ago I would not run across the room and now I am jogging, thanks to Karl's plan. They see me taking exercise and say that if I can do it, they can do it. Now they are doing it too. It has changed the dynamics of my whole family.
