Psychologist and Personal Trainer Targets Family Obesity with Free Online Course to Battle the Bulge

QUEENSLAND, Australia March, 2012 – The latest craze sweeping the nation isn’t so fashionable – it’s obesity and it’s deadly. Research has shown that almost a quarter of children are overweight or obese by the time they start primary school, and more than a third are unhealthily heavy by the time they leave*. It is worrying to experts who realise the damage weight issues can have on the nutritional, physical, psychological, social and emotional states of children worldwide. Kellee Waters, a registered Psychologist and personal trainer explains, “overweight children become overweight adults who not only have poor eating habits but emotional baggage that can cause the real pain and prevent them from losing weight”. www.fitmindsandbodies.com.au/

Kellee Waters’ brainchild Fit Minds & Bodies, a multi-focussed lifestyle management company based in Queensland, is offering the “Insider Secret to Success” e-course absolutely free in an attempt to combat the psychological and emotional impact of obesity on self esteem. In the span of 6 weeks, Fit Minds & Bodies provides free help for Australian families to gain a more balanced and healthier focus on their value in the world and to themselves.

Kellee has herself experienced several weight and eating disorders throughout both her childhood and adult life, which has provided her with a unique perspective on how to help others break free. She has done it and now she is devoted to helping others break the cycle. Kellee prepared this free 6-week program to target obesity from a psychological foundation. All of Kellee’s programs are education-based for individuals and families with a focus on psychology, nutrition and activity. www.fitmindsandbodies.com.au/
