“Doctors have told me that unless I lose weight and exercise I will be very, very sick when I grow up. I have tired really hard to do as the doctors say. But every time I play outside, people stop and look at me and call me “fatso”. I end up crying in my room. ”
Brooke’s weight increased quickly when she developed a love of takeaways and fatty junk food. She often ordered food from shops or restaurant and ate at home. Her daily meal used to be potato chips, chocolates, pizza, and sweet drinks. Brooks’ mum Stacey, a busy single mum, admits Brooke suffered from being dished up with fast food in her early year.
