Title: Urgent Help Request from Doug
Post by: Doug Varrieur on October 01, 2010, 02:54:12 PM
It isn't every day that a national magazine comes knocking at your door but that's what's happened :)
 
FIRST magazine for woman is interested in doing a story about FAT TO SKINNY and has requested female success stories for the article.
 
Ladies, this is your chance to help inspire other woman who have given up or are lost in the world of weight-loss lies and hype. Remember when that was you? Please e mail me back at dougvarrieur@fattoskinny.com with a quick story about your success so I can pass it on to FIRST. This is your chance to make a real difference in another woman's life....maybe even save her life.
 
Guys, you aren't eligible for the story...cause you're a guy BUT did your wife, girlfriend or a female friend accomplish her goal weight on FAT TO SKINNY? If so please let her know we'd like to speak to her ASAP.
 
I'm under deadline so please make this a priority.
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Doug

Doug, that is AWESOME and very exciting news!  I can't wait to see the article.  Doug went to his first check-up since starting FTS and his A1C is down from 11 to 8.  He still has a way to go but doing so much better.  The doctor gave his FULL BLESSING for the FTS way of eating and agreed that sugar is killing this country.  I am so glad that you are getting the word out there to more people.  Doug told me yesterday that one of his co-workers bought your books.  I told him to make sure she knows about the forum too ;D

Good for Doug!!  No guarantees on the article, it will all depend on the editors picks.

Doug, I talked with Lisa on the phone today for my preliminary interview. She said she will pass it along to her editor to see if they can do the story. If so, they will send a photographer to me to take pictures in the end of November/beginning of December! YIKES!!! I thought I was going to add to an article about FTS. I didn't realize that I would be the focus. . . eeek!!!
Oh well. Like you said above, if this will help someone change their life, it's worth it.
FYI: I am NOT a camera person. I always hide from them. This is a stretch for me.
