Watching the BBC this morning and having my cereal before going into work, I watched on the Breakfast show, a segment on how obese children can lose weight at this fit club in Carlisle, it all sounds very good, they get given lessons on nutition and proper diets, not just crash dieting. In addition they are given the confidence and support which is crucial to help them ‘beat the bulge’ so aptly put by the presenter (I am sure phrasing it like that does wonders for their confidence).
The trainers at the club went on to say it is not nessercerily about losing as much weight as possible, but the children being happy in themselves, completely agree sounds like these guys really know what they are talking about.
The segment then ends, and the BBC moves straight onto the a new segment of the rich list and completely glorifying it and saying how important it is, a complete contradiction to what they have just said before, is it any wonder some of the nations children lack confidence when they are told one thing, and then it changes the next minute! Life is about being happy, whatever that is for some people, it is not being on the richest list for some or being as skinny as Posh Spice!!
