She is studying Pre nursing as she is supposed to start her nursing next January BUT she is still thinking of going to UK !!!!
I think because Naia looks So Samoan and she is so big, she feels embarrassed. She does have friends from school  but since they all left school, she has not seen them much.  She also works in a Fremantle cafe' and gets good money too. Up at 6am works 7am till 3pm 5 days a week.

It's sad that she feels badly because she is so big, I hope she will get over that in time.  It's really hard to be different, no matter the cause.
It sounds like she is a hard worker, she must be a good girl.

Oh that makes me sad to think she might feel 'judged' for being who she is, hopefully as she gets older she will not feel like that. To me she sounds like a lovely young lady who is a hard worker and an achiever. She needs you around Moira to help her, although I am sure Annie does that, bless her.

Annie is really good with Naia and used to take her to her gym to have a go at all the gym stuff and also helped set her a special diet but ..... Naia started working and studying part time and it all went by the wayside. Naia is a lovely natured girl and does well at her job. I think she just does not know what she wants to do with her life.

Naia is  young and will eventually figure her life out.  You really have to want to exercise and diet so when the day comes that she's serious about it, she will.  It's nice that Annie has tried to encourage her!

We all went for lunch to Joseph's today ...  you cannot beat a chef making lunch !!!! Slow cooked beef  and gorgeous pork ribs done in a smoker !  Absolutely delish and even I could eat them minus my bottom teeth :) Plus corn on the cob, home made chips and a cold slaw salad.  There was not much left after we had all finished even if poor Naia could not be there because she was working :(  Rachel and Sam did take her a plate full of goodies :) We had a lovely time :)
