In this documentary, fashion retailer Cindy Gibbons allows cameras to record her year-long bid to lose weight in a healthy way. Gibbons is candid about her bad body image, her addiction to quick fix diets and the adverse effect her weight has on her life. She consults experts including nutritionist Jeni Pearce, who encourages her to focus on how eating better and exercising makes her feel — not what the scales say. As the weight starts to shift Gibbons realises changing her shape (and her self-esteem) takes longer than she envisioned. Gibbons later wrote 2002 book Cindy: Breaking the Cycle, and featured in a follow-up doco.
