►Be focused and confident, there is no
short cut for success
Haizura’s extreme makeover sparked much
discussion in the company and amongst her social
circle, with many wanting to know her secret to weight
loss.
Haizura maintains the key is a two-pronged approach:
a balanced diet and an active lifestyle, observing that
many failed or were frustrated because they chose
short cuts over long term solutions.
“It’s worth spending time,
effort, and money to lose
weight and regain vitality. For
me, it’s a one-time investment
as I will not repeat the same
cycle over again.”
Today, Haizura looks and feels like an entirely different
person. She gushes, “I feel happier and more
confident with my healthier body today. I started to be
active and enjoy social events like attending to
company or family activities. I also love to share my
experience with those who still lack of confidence in
losing weight.”
