Response to Sarah’s interview on public radio

For those of you who have been following the story of Sarah and her interview on public radio earlier this week I wanted to share with you a few responses the folks at “The Story with Dick Gordon” sent us from listeners.

Here are two:

Hello,
I’m a nurse in a pediatric weight management clinic and was riveted and moved by Sarah Sobel’s story. Her story of overeating and the social pressures of obesity is so descriptive of many of the teens we see, however it is unusual for our patients to see or hear of someone who has been so successful in achieveing a healthier weight. It would be wonderful for our patients to have access to Sarah’s story and I think they could not help but feel motivated. Is it permissable to download her story and burn a CD? (Many of our kids are low income and do not have pod cast capability.) Or is there another way you can think of to get her story to our patients? Thank You!

I enjoyed the story about Sarah and her experience at weight loss camp. As a teacher of middle school girls, I can identify with the challenges that girls who do not look like the norm face every day. It is heartening to
hear a success story.
