“I'm a much better role model for my daughters now.”

Daisy Daily first started thinking about losing weight when she hit her highest weight ever and when she noticed her daughter mimicking her own eating habits.

Daisy credits Healthy Incentives^SM with keeping her on track. The first year she took coaching calls, the second year she did “Colorful Choices” and this year “Get Fit on Route 66,” which is her favorite.  “I really liked the e-mail tips,” she said.  Daisy also relies on the Health Matters newsletter for fresh ideas so her efforts to maintain her good health don’t get stale.

Daisy also found support at her worksite from colleagues and her supervisor.

For Daisy, losing weight is about good health and being a positive role model for her daughters.  “I’m a much better role model for my daughters now.  My oldest daughter started following in my footsteps and started not making the best choices with her eating habits.  Watching me eating better and exercising more and having a healthy lifestyle has made her follow that example.  We’re a lot more active and healthy family.”

To other county employees striving to improve their health, Daisy says “You’re worth it.  You will live a much better life not being restricted.”
