“As much as we want to believe that weight loss and ‘dieting’ is easy, it’s not. And sometimes we need support to direct and help us. It doesn’t happen overnight. It requires planning, effort and motivation. Above all, it requires you to know yourself” says weight management specialist Bernadette Rock who will be in Galway on Monday August 25 to give a free oublic talk on Weight Loss and Weight Management in the Croi Heart & Stroke Centre, Moyola Lane, Newcastle at 7pm.

We torture ourselves over a number on a scale or a size on a dress when we’d be better off putting our energy into understanding our real selves. Our struggles with food cause tremendous stress, guilt, shame, and self-loathing. We’ve internalised a feeling of powerlessness and each time we try and fail, we subject ourselves to more of the same miserable feelings.
