An Apology From Weight Loss Specialist Iris Higgins

A weight loss specialist Iris Higgins apologizes for putting women on low-calorie diets that potentially harm their health.  Iris asserts that women of all sizes are beautiful.  She makes some interesting statements in her apology:

"I am sorry because many of you walked in healthy and walked out with disordered eating, disordered body image, and the feeling that you were a "failure." None of you ever failed. Ever. I failed you. The weight loss company failed you. Our society is failing you."

I encourage all women concerned about health and fitness to read this, so as to avoid the trap of 'dieting.'  We need to eat the right foods and exercise, not diet.  Reading this apology will help reenforce this determination.
