I feel too fat to go on holiday

My heart goes out to you. You can’t lose five stone before your holiday. But you can make a start. So here’s a plan of action: 1. Say yes to the holiday, even though you feel a bit doubtful right now. 2. Join a slimming club recommended by friends or your GP. There, you can talk through your fears with others who understand. You might not be able to attain your body beautiful this year – but you could make a good start and get there by next summer. And a good club will help you understand that you don’t have to hide yourself away in the meantime.
