Publisher's Synopsis
This title is also available for 2.99 on kindle. "If I Can Lose It... will not TELL YOU HOW to lose weight. It will tell you HOW I lost weight. This means you can do it YOUR WAY. Once you do that the information becomes a part of you - forever." - Jonathan If I Can Lose It, is a book of profound weight-control insights, revealed side by side with laugh out loud commentary by the author. In January of 2010, at the age of sixty-four, the self described "late bloomer," Jonathan Ellis graduated with a masters degree in media arts, and an ever expanding spare tire around his middle. While working in the pre-production stage of his first feature film, "Igniting Water," he chanced to make a discovery about weight-control that would not only transform his own lifelong struggle with weight, but the lives of others with whom he shared his new understanding as well. As an evolving media theorist, Jonathan is in a unique position to assist anyone to clearly understand how a media frenzy for consumer dollars can work to disrupt any diet program. This understanding provides wonderfully solid insights for the reader. If I Can Lose It... is a book that has the potential to shake the entire weight-loss industry to its core. The release date of If I Can Lose It... deliberately coincides with Jonathan losing the first twenty-five of fifty pounds. The last chapter of the book is a daily chronicle of his experience. Most of those entries were mirrored online in his blog, and new entries continue there. It is this willingness to share his daily experience, both positive and negative, that helps to set this book apart from any other of its kind. This is real time, first person weight-loss reporting, delivered with gentle good humor and frankly open candor.
