Many of you who read my first book, "I Don't Go With Fat Boys --Weight Loss for People Who Love to Eat", say how much you appreciate me sharing my story and what I have learned about the underlying causes of the unhealthy lifestyles that have created our overweight society. You say, after reading "I Don't Go With Fat Boys", you better understand the "why" of your roller coaster weight struggle. Now you would like some practical "how tos" for successfully achieving and maintaining your weight goals and gaining health for yourselves. I have examined the mind and behaviors of a food junkie like myself, and created strategies for me, and those like me, who fi nd making healthy food choices diffi cult. My purpose in sharing this book with you is to encourage you, and let you know you are not alone in this battle. This book contains simple strategies that can help us stay our course, and answers for when we slip off-track that will help get us back up and moving forward again. Dr. Doug Pray

本書は単なる減量指南書ではなく、食への依存という「魂の飢え」に向き合った渾身の告白録です。著者自らをフード・ジャンキーと呼び、弱さを曝け出す筆致は、理論を超えた凄まじい共感を呼び起こします。自己嫌悪の迷宮から抜け出すための深い洞察には、読者の魂に直接問いかける文学的な重厚さが宿っています。 特筆すべきは、挫折を肯定する優しさと、失敗を糧に変える力強い哲学です。完璧主義を捨て、人間らしさを抱きしめて歩む姿勢は、孤独な戦いを続ける読者への至高の連帯表明です。本書は、健康という名の幸福を自らの手に取り戻そうとする人々にとって、暗闇を切り裂く希望の光となるでしょう。
