Georgia's Story

[Spikeyjaycee]

Did anyone see this programme on BBC1 last night? Basically it was about a British 15 year old girl who weighted 33 stone. Because of her age, she couldn't have diet medication or WLS so she was awarded a scholarship to an academy in Amercia that deals with obesity. The programme followed her for 6 months in which time she lost 10 stone through health eating and exercise. She has since gone on to lose another 2 stone and aims to be done to 9 stone by the time she is 19. It was a very well documented programme and an inspiration to a lot of young people I thought.

I thought it was excellent. What a pity we don't have such facilities here in the UK. I believe there is a weight management centre in Leeds, but nothing the scale of Wellsprings.

Georgia is a star and a massive inspiration to youngsters everwhere. I Sky+'d it for my youngest.
