Participant Comments

Helped me feel better about myself and am not as preoccupied about my weight.
Candy Thorpe, Tisdale, SK.

I feel much better mentally and physically. I take more time out for myself, exercise and eat slower, enjoy meals and taste food. I have also not had a migraine headache in 8 weeks!
Donna Prosko, Rose Valley, SK.

This is a great program. Gives us a lot of new info on how to eat better and improve self worth.
Susan Schroepfer, Arborfield, SK.

The HUGS program has taken away the guilt I used to feel for eating something “I shouldn’t”. Helps improve my self esteem, I feel better about myself, I have increased my activity level. I have put my scale away! Overall, I really enjoyed participating in the HUGS program.

Stop diet mentality, increased activity, feel good about myself, more conscious in eating habits and healthier cooking with fats, etc.
Coral Fraser, Tisdale, SK.

The HUGS program has helped me understand how important it is to start the day by eating breakfast. I feel so much better. I am more aware of my eating habits. I have become more active.
Carol Gagnon, Tisdale, SK.

I feel much better about myself. I am able to pick up on my hunger cues. I now am able to enjoy the foods I am eating.
