Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

Tackling Obesity: Discussion with Operation Transformation

11:20 am

Ms Monica Percy:

I am similar to Ms Halford in that I never really liked exercise when I was young. I did a lot of dancing but never really took part in sports, as such. When I got older, I was almost a little embarrassed to get involved. I did not want people looking at me sweating while running, for example. As part of the programme, I have finally started to enjoy the running. I never would have imagined this. I wish I had taken a chance earlier. One must find an activity that is fun. If it is fun, one will do it again. If it is not, one will not go near it.
