Obesity is the cause of several diseases, including cardiac disease and Diabetes. The Healthy Weights program supports and educates children and teens ages 6-17 and their families to adopt a healthy lifestyle. The program offers activity sessions and discussions regarding healthy eating, active living, and emotional issues around eating. Many insurance companies now offer incentives for their clients to lose weight to become more healthy, thus reducing the expense concerning weight-related healthcare. The interviewer wants to hear if you have participated in a weight loss program to see how effective it was and if you support this type of program.

"No, I have never participated in a weight loss program. I have been on the thinner side my entire life and have trouble consuming enough calories to gain weight. I am healthy, but my physician says I have accelerated metabolism, so it is difficult to put on weight. I completely support weight loss programs as I realize it is difficult for many people to lose weight. I also understand the importance of educating people on leading a healthy lifestyle from an early age. I think it is wonderful that Fraser Health Authority sponsors a Healthy Weights Program and would love to be involved in some capacity."

"Yes, I participated in a weight loss program offered through my insurance company five years ago. I had trouble losing weight after the birth of my third child and received an email from my insurance company describing the program. I enrolled in the six-month program and successfully lost the 10 kilograms that would not leave. I enjoyed the education and support and adopted a healthier lifestyle for my family and me."
