WOMEN FOOD and GOD : by Morgan

In the past I have failed at losing weight. I guess I was doing it wrong. Sure I could stick to a diet for a couple of weeks, make myself go to the gym and lose 10-20 pounds. But I never stuck to it. I guess I didn't have a vision of me skinny, of me as a totally healthy eater, that was something that wasn't me, and it felt like I was battling myself. My approach is completely different this time around. I am who I am, and I don't have to completely change myself, or try to look like someone else. I am me, I am a big girl, and really pretty one, and instead of dieting I am going to be the healthiest and sexiest big girl I can be. I am going to work out, not only for weight loss, but for health and happiness and longevity and vitality and youthfullness! For all the things I need o live a happy life. I'm not a fat advocate, I don't hate skinny people, I'm just me and this time around it's not about hating my body so much that I have to torture myself to change it, it's about loving myself so much that I want to fuel my body and do good things for it.

I must give credit where credit is due. My new found inspiration comes partially from within, but also from this amazing book I read. It was featured on Oprah (LOVE OPRAH!) and it's in my opinion the best diet book you can ever read, especially if you are just starting out and need inspiration. The book is called WOMEN, FOOD and GOD, by Geneen Roth (see below).  I read this book a couple times and gave it to my sister Joline for Christmas because the whole time I was reading it I was thinking of her and how much she could benefit from it. I keep asking her of she's read it and she keeps saying she will ... she's resisting. I think because she knows it's the truth and doesn't want to hear it. Anyways I love this book, I know you will too so get a copy. I am totally going to get myself another copy, I love this book so much. I can not contribute my positive attitude to this book enough!
