Dear Pat,

Thanks for the letter. You should write more often! Anyway, how are things? I hope everything is OK at school.

It's great that you've started to take care of your health! As for keeping fit, I'd say that above all you need patience! Keeping fit is something you should do regularly and try and keep it up over a long time. If you don't, it won't have any effect.

First of all, start gently. Begin by walking — you can walk to school, use the stairs (not the lift) and then go for longer walks in the park. Then you should think about taking up a sport. They say the best sport for keeping fit and healthy is swimming. I agree. If you can't go to the beach, go to your local swimming pool.

Finally, watch your diet. You can eat more things, but not too much of anything. If I were you, I'd try and eat fruit and vegetables every day.

That's all for now. Hope you find my advice useful.

Write soon.

Best wishes,

Gloria
