Publisher's Synopsis
Offering neither a "quick fix" diet nor a "do or die" exercise programme, this book deals not with the symptoms of being overweight or out of condition, but with the causes, many of which derive from poor self-esteem. In doing so, it aims to help people with other types of changes which they are attempting to make in their lives. Among the intended benefits are permanent weight-loss, good health, improved habits, positive thinking, improved understanding of the body's messages, release from the "victim syndrome", and awareness that negative thoughts are not real.
