Fat: From Desperation to Relief (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781452548777)

Join author Laura Dolan-Hayes on a nearly two-year journey beginning June 3, 2010 and ending on February 21, 2012, chronicling her thoughts, ideas, and frustrations over her own personal state of obesity and the state of the world's obesity at large. Watch as she struggles with the facts about weight that she understands intellectually but has great difficulty integrating emotionally. Observe as she identifies the lies, myths, and misconceptions of weight control, and how mankind has managed to foul things up pretty badly in the last fifty years. It is a highly personal exploration where she identifies today's weight obsession as no different from being a part of a cult or suffering from a social anxiety disorder. As the author moves through the concepts and gets more and more clarity on the topic, she emerges in the end with the shockingly simple key to returning to a state of perfect natural thinness without diet, exercise, or spending a dime.
