Z.J. feels much better about himself now that his days of being teased are over. He knows that he is healthier, stronger and faster than ever. Even the Kilometer club in gym class is easier - he used to run 4 laps and now he runs 9. He joined the Dr. Bernstein diet because he was inspired by his parents, who had already started to lose weight. At first his parents were reluctant, thinking it would be too hard for him, but he persisted. His perseverance coupled with the diet and the support of the Langley, B.C. clinic helped him attain his goal.
