If you check out BBC 2 at 6.30 pm, you will see Ben Fogle's Extreme Dreams. I've never watched this series before but this week a group of five people climb a mountain with Ben. They have all overcome some sort of adversity, including one woman who has lost more than 8 stone and wants some motivation to lose the rest.
In the first episode, she is nearly sent home for all sorts of reasons (her own health, jeopardising the group's progress, etc). I want to see if she gets to the top of the mountain. I really hope she does. She deserves to, not least because already, on day one, she had found herself wondering why she had let her weight hold her back in the past. That's something so many of us can recognise, isn't it?
