It’s time to cut the crap
Okay so it took me a while to work out what I really wanted to say about and even do on this trip but after settling in, getting some good advice from a producer or two, having had a few really good meetings (more on that soon) and a few A-ha moments, as The Big O would call them, I have decided that you are only going to get the real deal from here on in.
I had some really crazy stunts to do but then I realised that apart from being silly or attention grabbing, they had no purpose other than to entertain which in itself is not necessarily a crime but do they serve the purpose of getting one step closer to Oprah? Maybe but why not focus my attention and energy on really continuing my journey of learning and healing and share the knowledge along the way. What is most important about this site is providing a platform for people to hear my voice and hopefully be inspired to read my books and heal their own lives.
I was well on my path to sharing my message years ago and now I have found my voice and my path again. And yes I want to heal my son and I will document that as well (both on film and in book form), but for now, getting my first two books on Oprah, and having them published in the states (coming soon!!) (Confessions of a Reformed Dieter and Lazy Girl’s Guide to Losing Weight and Getting Fit) will enable me to send my message around the world that you are worthy, you can heal your life, you can love yourself and that every woman has the right to a decent life full of love and self respect. And more importantly that they are NOT alone.
I have a voice and a passion and after sharing it with Australia, the people who have read my books and the members of www.myhealthybodyclub.com I now want to share it with the world. I built Healthy Body Club out of string and paperclips, have sacrificed so much to keep it going as have many of its members - I had a vision that any woman wanting to save her life would not have to do it alone and that vision is as strong as it was when I was putting my own life back together, day by day, minute by painful minute, as it is today, having come so far.
Do you realise how many women hate themselves and want to give up on their life simply because of how much they weigh???? That is a tragedy. And it must change!
And so I say, one more time, “Its time to cut the crap!” And just for the record, this is not a race and soemthing I expect to happen overnight. Hey it might take me a year or two or even three….but as long as I am honest and real, and keep writing, and work on my next two books and the other little secret projects I have up my sleeve and more importantly to be the best mother I can be for my son, then everyone who criticises me for not “doing anything” or not doing this “fast enough” needs to pull their head in. Any fool realises that this process takes time - and I have all the time in the world. Sure I made a bet that runs out next year but big deal. You think that’s going to stop me? Don’t think so.
Oh and P.S - it doesn’t mean I’m not going to have fun on my journey to Oprah but it’s gonna be real and with one goal only - to share my story of healing my life with whoever needs and wants to hear it. I am the happiest I have been in years and cannot wait to share this incredibly liberating journey with you.
And so over the next few days check out my plan of attack………already well under way.
Thank You

I think your goal is admirable. You’re like the Australian version of mamavision - ( http://mamavision.com/ ).
The day I was diagnosed with anorexia (2 weeks ago) a friend gave me your book confessions of a reformed dieter. At the time I thought it was an insensitive gift but reading it has helped me a lot. I am still anorexic and probably will be for quite some time but the way you are so open and honest about your struggle with your weight has inspired me. Thank you.
Brava!
Hi Ajay, been enjoying the journey, thanks for taking us along the way.
Wishing you all the very best.

Very emotional video AJ. The struggle to look acceptable by society standards is heartbreaking. I fought anorexia and bulimia for over 15 years. I think I am healthy now than I was back there and I am much heavier.
I read your book Ajay and it changed my life. I owe a lot of my happiness to you. Good Luck. Suz x
I really hope Oprah is smart enough to get you on her show. Good luck Ajay, what you are doing for yourself and your son is amazing and what you aredoiing for women and what you have done for women is also amazing and i am very appreciative of the effort you make everyday to make us feel worthy.
I am sorry it took you so long to realise you were worthy. You deserve everything you ask for and i hope that you will get on oprah so that everyone can see how awesome you really are.
Thankyou for saving me in a time I thought I could never be saved.
Good luck.
Ajay
I, too, feel like I am on the journey with you!
In this lifetime, I have had 4 ambitions before I die - one to meet Michael Buble which I did in May 07, one to meet Jodi Picoult which I did in May 08 and the last two are to meet Oprah and to loose weight to be able to have the baby I have wanted for 8 long years!
I am looking forward to following you achieve your dream and want you to know that you are not walking alone on the path to success!
Good luck

Know what got me the most? You. Are. Following. Your. Heart.
I had the exact same dream. I told my friends that I’d one day write a book and I’d be on Oprah. They laughed and I fell off the bandwagon. You are living my dream and I support you 150%.
When I stand up and say “I don’t care what people think, I’m real, kind, smart, funny and I will say what I feel when I feel it”… People equate that to being ‘big headed’. Rubbish.
Sweetheart I stumbled here through my beautiful friends Ash & Linda (HBC melbourne) and I know exactly why. A nice healthy kick in the sphincter to help me realise that nothing else matters. Just my children, partner but most importantly me and what I need to do and where my path needs to take me.
For you - I wish you ALL the great laws of attraction and success you need and desire. You will meet Oprah. You will connect with her. Your story is her story and I think she’d love hearing and seeing it from an Aussie point of view.
Thank you for your video. I loved seeing the real you. xox
Shit, I forgot to say ….
Could you be any cuter??????
