Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

Tackling Obesity: Discussion with Operation Transformation

10:35 am

Ms Charlotte O'Connell:

I speak for my family as well. I would always have been the heaviest in my family. My mother and father were healthy eaters. In terms of lifestyle, they were always healthy, as were my sisters. Since I have taken on the programme, my family is more conscious of what they are eating in terms of calories. At my workplace there are 15 girls who weigh in every Monday night. The canteen has taken to cooking all the "Operation Transformation" lunches and it makes people more aware. I have to say it has been fantastic.
