Emotional Weight

Food has no power except the power you give it. Stop dieting and get to the root of your problem. Emotional Weight is not a diet book. The concepts in Emotional Weight are positive and refreshing, and focus on making MIND and BODY changes. This is to ensure that both the emotional weight and physical weight are lost. If not, physical weight is lost while emotional weight remains, and eventually physical weight returns. Emotional Weight is the reason 95 percent of the people who lose physical weight gain it back within one year. One reason why this occurs so frequently is that emotional weight can't be seen in the mirror or on a scale, so it is left untreated. People who still feel heavy, even when they are extremely thin, are not heavy in body. The heaviness lies in their minds - in emotional weight. I believe in helping both men and women put an end to dieting and diet behavior, like calorie counting, and the self-destructive habit of stepping on the scale. You may have noticed that the picture on the scale of this book doesn't have the numbers on it but the emotions. When we step on te scale it doesn't say ... "let's see, you have about 10 pounds of guilt, and about three pounds of anger, and ... oops, about 2 pounds of disappointment." There are no negative emotions and love, trust, happiness, and anger aren't stored in fat tissue. Emotional Weight is divided into two parts: the mind and the body. The first part deals with psychology, The second part deals with nutrition. Both sections help people pinpoint problems and provide healthy mind and body solutions. These solutions result in a positive self image and piece of mind. --- from book's back cover
