Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

Tackling Obesity: Discussion with Operation Transformation

11:20 am

Ms Charlotte O'Connell:

All the points are completely valid and I agree with every one of them. For me, it was a matter of realising I would not get rid of the weight in a couple of weeks. In diets I have done, I have under-eaten and over-exercised. While I lost weight, I fell back into old habits really quickly. It was a case of realising that I had to follow a plan and have goals.
